Considering the fact that I know almost nobody with an ice maker built into their fridge who isn't my mom, the countertop ice machine is a criminally under-discussed revolution in kitchen technology. I HATE refilling those horrible trays and spilling water everywhere and never having ice when I need it. Mine is hot pink and cranks out so much ice in like 15 minutes. Honestly changed my life. I make fancy shaken cocktails on a whim now
