Portable ice makers
Anyone have a ice maker that they want to brag on or curse? Need to make some room in the freezer.

We have a U-Line that is built into the bottom of one of our galley cabinets (seems to have came that way from the factory). It worked great for the first three years or so when we first purchased the rig. Although, for the past year or two, has been nothing more than a headache. Can't get it working and a replacement unit of the same or similar is several hundred dollars. Needless to say, I can buy a lot of bags of ice for several hundred dollars.
We have been without use if it for about a season and a half now, and truthfully, didn't really miss it (at least, not enough to spend several hundred dollars on). A bag of ice in the freezer and more in the cooler has been working out just fine.
I may take it out and take it to a local appliance repair place to see if they can repair it for a reasonable price. If not, I'll just put a matching cabinet door over the existing opening and use the space vacated by the ice maker for added storage. We'll then just stick with bagged ice.
