Ice from the fridge - Slower freezing thus it has more oxygen in it. It's not impurities. Clear ice - Frozen quickly thus doesn't build up oxygen in it when its freezing. Same water...
Good video except you left out the main point - reviewing ice makers!! People go to TH-cam not for those questions (that's what folks do when buying) but for product information. Thanks
We do have other videos reviewing the different ice makers, this video was more on the benefits of having one, sorry if that wasn't clear in the description, but please check out our channel for reviews :)
@@FBSKitchen No problem. We splurged on a top of the line model for a new kitchen and it was probably the best investment ever. Constant great-tasting ice at any time for any occasion. Take care.
@@schoms15 We got the same one for both our main house and our place on the beach - Kitchenaide. It's rather expensive but zero problems, fabulous ice and it can churn out about 50 lb / day. You do get what you pay for in the end. Good luck.
On the 15" ones, some are slightly under and some are exactly 15" Could make the difference of fitting and not fitting. It's been a while but I remember this was an issue when I replaced mine going from GE monogram to U line. Plus the sound of unit should be thought about. U line is like being in a 747, noise is really loud, hate it.
If you want "high" quality ice that is pure and clear, then you will pay around $1500 or higher for that luxury. Once you experience quality ice like the Scotsman's Gourmet ice, you won't want to be without it.
The undercounter ice machine provides some great benefits for the smaller cafe, bar, and also in the home or office. These ice machines provide ice on smaller scales.
Top up ice melt slower because it has the LEAST surface area. ALSO BE AWARE THAT THESE ICE MAKERS MAKE A VERY LOUD NOISE WHEN DROPPING ICE. IF THE ICE MAKER WILL BE CLOSE TO YOUR SLEEPING AREA DO NOT GET THIS TYPE OF ICEMAKER
she is a bit special the bigger ice blocks if broken down will have a higher surface area. if the ice block is bigger it means it will take up more space and have less surface area, this is because the inside of the ice isnt exposed meaning that is not apart of the surface area. along with that we can also talk about the thermal mass of the ice block (when the ice is bigger it sustains the cold more).
Dan is correct. I'm not sure what Jeff is saying. Singleton222 may have it backwards. Larger doesn't mean more surface area. Imagine a 1 pound block of wood vs 1 pound of sawdust. The sawdust has more surface area...that's the amount of "material" exposed to the air. Try lighting both on fire with a match. The saw dust will ignite and burn faster than the block of wood. I realize that this comment is 3 years old...it's after 2 in the morning and I'm looking for a new ice maker.
Dear Laura, I really like your website because it is very informative and helped me to make a lot of right decisions for appliances. What I like to know is where did you get the (Cork Holder) I noticed on your countertop? Also you are the most pulchritudinous woman I ever seen. Thanks again.
Nugget ice is a different type machine all together. It uses a different principle that produces flaked ice using an auger and then extrudes it through a stainless breaker plate into small nuggets. This ice is not clear ice but excellent for soft drinks. Not good for spirits because of the increased melt rate and dilution factor. These machines are also considerably more expensive.
i install and repair ice makers you are absolutely wrong when you said people can expect to spend $2,000.00 to $4,000.00 dollars all you need is $300.00 to $700.00 dollars to have an ice maker that can handle a a house party I can prove that, you need to do alot more research.
@Wheat H You won't find a high quality ice machine that produces pure and clear ice for under $1000.00. Not sure what brands you're installing but I bet they are the cheap and junky Chinese made machines.
Please use the proper appliance terminology. What you are selling is an *ice machine* , not an _ice maker_ . An ice _maker_ is the cheap accessory in a refrigerator-freezer that makes cloudy ice from puddles of water, or the similar undercounter crescent-ice freezers. _Ice makers_ are essentially robotic versions of old-fashioned ice trays. An *ice machine* makes pure, clear ice from flowing liquid water over a freezing plate, and is indeed a costly appliance ($2000 and up) . See my discussion at www.truetex.com/icemachine.htm

"impurities" is bullhonk - its just air bubbles in the non clear ice cubes, not dirty water
Great video THANK YOU!
You are most welcome!
Which makes the least amount of noise?
정말 큰 도움이 되었습니다. 감사합니다.
I learn so much at 4am...
Lol true

@@smb123211 Once you got ice nothing else seems nice!
@@smb123211 what did you end up getting? we are shopping and there are so many to choose from.

What kind of idiot pays $2-4K for excuse me, an icemaker??
I guess I'm in the wrong business

This idiot
Great overview you went over a number up things I didn't know
Yeah! Happy to hear it

Surely higher surface area means it will melt faster?

I just love your wood backsplash
Our showrooms are pretty
Totally impractical. Try getting marinara sauce out of that. Or any grease, smoke, splashes. Not functional, practical, or hygienic at all.
@@dzerres You are right! Though I would love to have as back splash for a Coffee bar or Station. or Some for the Gameing Room Juice Bar ;)
Great video very informative. Im actually going to purchase a commercial ice maker soon for a small cafe
Awesome! It really does make a difference
Wow. You answered all the important questions related to ice maker.
Thanks Z B! We try :)
Good to know thanks 🙏
You're welcome!
Or, you could drill a hole in the outside wall, & drain the water in a hole filled with gravel.
I bought a Marvel brand about 6 years ago, makes about 80 lbs a day . It'll fll coolers for my speedboat every weekend.
See. NO ONE knows what real ice is. Lol
Great job. I learned a lot.
Yeah! That makes us happy to hear!
Clear ice gang where you at?!?!
left out nugget ice
Nugget ice is a different type machine all together. It uses a different principle that produces flaked ice using an auger and then extrudes it through a stainless breaker plate into small nuggets.

Doing good doing great
Under counter ice maker is nothing but trouble, if you live in a condo expect to pay water leak damage to you neighbor in the condo below
That would only be true if it wasn't installed correctly nor maintained professionally.
i install and repair ice makers you are absolutely wrong when you said people can expect to spend $2,000.00 to $4,000.00 dollars all you need is $300.00 to $700.00 dollars to have an ice maker that can handle a a house party I can prove that, you need to do alot more research.
The ice makers we sell at Factory Builder Stores are in that price range.
FBS Kitchens not at all overpriced
She said a quality Ice machine.
@Wheat H You won't find a high quality ice machine that produces pure and clear ice for under $1000.00. Not sure what brands you're installing but I bet they are the cheap and junky Chinese made machines.
WHEAT H can you please recommend some good ice makers that don’t have many(or any) problems? Thanks
Good video but very hot girl!
