If you’ve ever found yourself munching on the impossibly delicious and crunchy ice at a fast food joint and wondered why you don’t do the same thing at home, it’s because the trays in your freezer make the garbage ice, and GE’s Opal Nugget Ice Maker makes the good stuff. Instead of simply freezing water into cubes, this machine makes ice chunks by compacting ice flakes, and while the size and shapes are irregular, they’re softer and more satisfying to chew. Does that make a device that will claim a significant chunk of counter space worth $580? Of course it does: An ice maker with Bluetooth connectivity so you can turn it on from your phone and ensure the ice is always fresh is worth every cent.
