Things to compare
- Ice per day: manufacturers list daily output in pounds; check it against how much ice your household uses.
- Footprint: compare the height with the space under your cabinets, and remember a side tank adds width.
- Water supply: these models use a refillable reservoir or tank rather than a plumbed water line.
- Cleaning and filters: several models list self-cleaning cycles or scale-inhibiting filters; check what the maker recommends.
