I chew it, my water glass is usually mostly ice with some water, I love ice. Our fridge has an ice maker but the wall has a leak, so it's either a very expensive repair, buy iffy ice at the store- sometimes it's great, sometimes the bags look a little gross, but it's an inconvenience to realize we need ice at 10 PM, or deal with those stupid ice trays that slosh all over and only make 12 at a time anyway.

The Ivation portable ice maker is the perfect solution. It's sits on the counter and makes ice, all day and night. It has a pleasant background whirring noise, not loud, then it has rods the water freezes on, it releases the ice into the front bucket, and boom.. I love love love this ice maker.

The front panel lets me set the size I want, I like large, tells the time, has the on/off button. You do need a little space for air flow but it's a not a huge machine. the ice maker is not a freezer, if you don't use the ice it will simply melt back under the basket into the water reservoir and start again. I have a bin in the freezer and I just dump the basket so that I have a lot of ice at all times. You could also bag it for parties if you have the freezer space.

No more running to the store at 10 PM or 6AM to indulge my ice habit!
