First three cubes come out after half a second.

You wait what feels like forever for the fourth one to come out as the machine whirrs away.

Decide you only needed three anyway and move your cup away from the dispenser.

Twelve more are suddenly and violently deposited onto the floor and shatter into dozens of pieces.

I feel like this should be a set up to some stupid TV infomercial product like the “ice catcher 9000”

are ice dispensers an actual thing? i have never seen one in real life, people just use ice cube trays…

feels like such a violently petit bourgeois thing, let’s spend a hideous amount of money to avoid pouring a bit of water into a tray…

limelight79 ,

Oh yes, quite popular here in the US. There are two kinds, really - the ones the post is about are in the door, so you don’t even have to open the door to get ice, which you’d think would appeal to people trying to save energy. The other kind make ice and dump it into a tray in the freezer, and you have to open the freezer door or drawer to use it.

We have the latter, and we use enough ice that we keep up with it - it doesn’t fill up and shut off or anything like that. I can use ice cube trays but I prefer my ice maker. In fact when we bought the house, it wasn’t hooked up at all, because the previous owners had a dedicated ice maker in the garage that they used that they took with them. I made the effort to get it working pretty quickly after we moved in.

Yeah I was amazed by those when I visited the us. They are quite energy inefficient, but feel like decadence.

Then again, I figured the amount was by design. You guys use a lot of ice in everything. Like this big soda cups are at least half full of ice. Where I’m from there’s two to three cubes per glass.

LukeMedia ,

Some fridges have both, the freezer ice cubes are generally bigger in my experience, and I prefer them.

yeah

Really rich people have fancy, crystal clear, perfectly cube or sphere shaped ice cubes delivered regularly. www.glaceluxuryice.com/purchase.html

Truly rich people buy that fancy ice machine they have at the hospital for themselves. That’s the best ice.

It’s also like nine grand for an ice maker. I priced it out one time I really wanted ice.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

I’d need like 8 trays daily without an icemaker. The separate door dispenser is a bit excessive though.

AngryCommieKender ,

I use an excessive amount of ice for my water, and only use 3 to 4 × 14 cube trays a day. Bear in mind that I have a 64oz thermal mug that I use for water, and I fill it 2-3 times a day in the winter, and 3-4 times a day in the summer. I’ve been checked for diabetes and don’t have it, I just sweat excessively. I’m also 6’3"/192cm tall and weigh around 220 to 230 lbs so I need a bit more water than about 92% of the population.

Are you making smoothies or iced coffee? I can’t imagine using 8 trays of ice per day.

RampantParanoia2365 ,

I live with someone who also does that, and also does make ice coffee, and it’s in Arizona. Plus I have this nice insulated bong with a big chamber for ice water…

We have an extra bucket for our in freezer ice machine.

Well, to comment on this take, I would like to mention that in America (at least) ice makers in the fridge (either freezer or dispenser in freezer door) have been an unavoidable option when purchasing new appliances for about ~20 years. Even used ones in that timeframe mostly have this feature. Buying fridges over 20yrs old is… not recommended

bouh ,

Well, 4 is actually 100 in binary, so…

I miss having the fridge make ice on its own all the time, but I don’t miss this. I can get exactly the number of cubes I want with the ol’ ice cube tray in the freezer trick.

Stache_ ,

Oh I’m sorry did you want those in the glass? 2/4, best I can do

21Cabbage ,

I’ve never been wealthy enough for it to come up but I’d have some concerns about how sanitary the refrigerator ice machine is anyway. Ah well, I’d probably just use it for whiskey regardless.

Edit: minor grammatical corrections.

cm0002 ,

Pretty clean, I’ve never cleaned the actual ice making part before, but it’s never looked like it needed it. It’s also fairly sealed up

The collection bucket I’ve cleaned every few months and nothing gross has ever appeared. The dispenser nozzle on the outside gets wiped down regularly

Also you don’t need to be rich to have a fridge with an ice dispenser, they’ve been on basic models since like the 90s and you can find a used working one on FB/CL all the time even for free

21Cabbage ,

Let me clarify, housing in my area is affordable if you split the rent on a cheap lease and cram it in 2 people per bedroom. You get the refrigerator the landlord gives you and hope it still works.

Kolanaki ,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

It’s made in the freezer part with it’s own self contained little thing with a replaceable filtration system. Only the tray that holds the completed ice is open to anything, and it’s still in the freezer. So pretty sanitary unless your freezer is disgusting or you never replace the filters.

“Sorry it looks like your subscription to Samsung Ice Cubes has expired! Please renew for $19.99 to continue to receive ice cubes for the next 12 months.”

fluxion ,

Stop giving them ideas!

cm0002 ,

Too late, my new Samsung fridge came with pamphlets for a water filter subscription. Although it does seem like a decent deal and the water coming out of this fridge is the BEST water I’ve ever tasted in my life so I’m inclined to stick with w/e filter Samsung recommends lmao

JackbyDev ,

I let my filter expire and they came for me actually it still tasted fine even like 6 months after I should’ve replaced it.

Kecessa ,

Man, sorry to tell you, but you just gave money to the worst appliance company AND you bought a model with extra features? Hope you got an extended warranty on that thing!

LukeMedia ,

To be fair, I don’t think a subscription for consumables like filters is an anti-consumer practice. What is anti-consumer, is if I buy a fridge and pay for the whole thing, but they want an extra subscription to use part of the fridge. (Ice maker comment above)

PowerGloveSoBad ,

Hi FiniteLooper! Long time, no see! Saw your status update about the ice – congrats! They look great!!! 🌨🌨🥶🥶🥶🏅🏅

saltnotsugar ,

Roll a die. On a 1-5, zero cubes. On a six, reroll ten times to see how many come out at once.

Those are clearly Energon cubes.

Energon cubes looked so tasty when I first saw them as a little kid.

Hell, they still do.
