The FridgidAire model I saw on Amazon I believe mentioned that it has a drain 
and that it is self-cleaning.

That’s what I found. The first one I had, I think some mechanism that hits a 
little switch in there so it knows the tray is back in position and that it can 
start another cycle probably broke, so the tray would move back up, stop, and 
then it would reset, go back down, up, etc, and never start pumping water from 
the reservoir again unless it got lucky and worked sometimes. The second one 
just ended up getting too dirty, and it’s hard even for a seeing person to 
clean it. I wonder if there is some kind of solution one can just run through 
to clean up the water residue that accumulates in there? I know they are hard 
to drain out, and you can’t always get all of the water out through that little 
hole the drain plug fits in.

Hi. I’ve used 2 different ice makers. The first one was, I believe a Danby and 
the other was kitchen aid. Both of them had physical buttons. From experience 
they don’t last all that long and are apparently a real bugger to clean.

Hello,

My wife and I are looking to buy a counter top ice maker and we are wondering 
if anyone makes a machine that is accessible to someone who can’t see. I have 
been researching this on Amazon and the Internet, but I can’t seem to locate 
one that has real buttons instead of a flat panel which we cannot feel the 
difference between the various settings. Is there anyone on the list that has 
been able find such an accessible ice maker?

Thank You,

Hi Rick,

This sounds like something we need!  Would you please tell me it's size / 
dimensions, if you have them?  Or, could you tell me a model and brand and I 
can do a search for the dimensions?  Thanks much.


Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.  Go Dodgers!

Hello. We recently purchased a countertop ice maker from Best buy made by 
Insignia. It was on sale at the time for $99. I believe it usually sells for 
$120. It has real buttons and perfectly accessible. It can make up to 26lbs 
of ice per day which was more than enough for our needs.

RE: Accessible Ice Maker

2022-09-19 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
It seems that 26 pounds per day and "ice as in 6 minutes or less" seems to be a 
very common standard on all the models I briefly looked at on Amazon.
If you have a Best Buy nearby that might be the way to go because then you can 
check it out before you buy it and before you end up having to send it back to 
Amazon.
I am guilty myself of having ordered something here and there knowing I may not 
like it and thinking that of course I can just put it back in the box and 
return it. I try to do this less now because all the "easy return" stuff causes 
a huge impact on the environment because it adds a huge percentage of extra 
shipping.
