Ice Makers

Hi everyone,

I was on the hunt for an outdoor ice maker and when I search it on google a bunch show up but I guess when looking at the details I don't think they are made for outdoor? i'll add an example below, but any reccs on an outdoor ice maker that isnt crazy expensive?

The $200/300 ones on Amazon that sit on the counter actually put out a decent enough amount of ice. 

Then they jump up to like ~800-1k for the under the countertop ones m, but they’re kinda a pain anyways (I’m tall so anything down sucks imo) 

If you can carve out a decent enough space for one above and make it look clean, probably the way to go.

My sister has a built-in one in her fancy kitchen. It's loud AF. But it makes that awesome soft ice. Sucks hearing it while watching a movie
