Ice machine

Wife bought me this one:
It's okay, quiet but with a very small hopper, so I transfer the ice into a food bag, then into the freezer. Anything faster/higher output is verging on commercial/lol money, so this is fine for sitting on the counter and small enough to stow in a cupboard when not in use.
Simple enough to keep clean, just don't switch it off for any length of time without emptying all the water out, or it'll get mouldy pretty quickly.

I haven't used it but my wife just bought the same one, been fine so far according to her!
I've been filling ours with mineral water from the fridge (Aldi/Lidl/Costco 2 litre bottles) - ice tastes better and (unsurprisingly, coz the water's already chilled) it's quicker.
Just been looking at this one, hovering over the purchase button:-
I have one of these:
Holds enough in the box whilst having 2 trays already pre-loaded to top off when getting low.
Not electric, preferred something for the freezer rather than counter-top as have a chest freezer in the garage for any overflow.
