I have another icemaker with clear ice for the man cave for my husband from Newair- it's nice. But this one right here is the best! The absolute best. I haven't had my water line ran to it yet. I've had it for a year and have had no problem adding water to it myself. I love the nuggets and I find myself eating the rest after a beverage. Yes it's like the chik Fila ice. Great reliable ice maker.
