I used to have a fridge with the best ice maker in the world but I had to move and alas I could not take the fridge with me....sigh...... You can get a personal ice maker from $120 - $350....

A small one anyway....This was still well out of my range. Here is my solution....... Metal ice trays....... They make the ice mostly white and it has a very good flavor. Use hot water to fill the trays and it comes out soft and easy to chew, and it freezes faster........ There is a website
http://www.mobile-mart.com/icecbtrys.htm that sells these trays cheaply.....I prefer the ones with the plastic inserts they are cheaper and easier to get the ice out. I bought 5 trays and that keeps me going with the best ice and a much cheaper alternative. You can also try an ice shaver if you like the shaved ice. You can get one of those for $14.95 at wal-mart........ Good Luck......
