Our verdict	Popular Mechanics' six-month verdict, a Food & Wine smart-pick award and an Esquire Home Award. Essentially the same consensus as number 1, minus the side-tank bundle that tips the tie.	Wirecutter's clear-ice recommendation, a claim nothing else on this board can make. Ranks below the Opal consensus only because fewer outlets currently test it.	Bon Appétit's outright best countertop ice maker, Cherry Picks' highest-scoring GE machine, and fypower's best overall nugget pick. The broadest and strongest expert backing of any machine on the board.	Food & Wine's best overall countertop pick and a Forbes-tested recommendation. The strongest non-GE nugget consensus.	One of Consumer Reports' lab-tested standouts for speed and efficiency, plus community longevity reports. CR's testing weight carries it past Ecozy by a nose.	Still Wirecutter's nugget pick and Food & Wine's top nugget machine, so it remains a mainstream recommendation despite the Ultra superseding it. Reliability complaints keep it below the Ultra.	Crystal-clear ice at a reasonable price - top choice for clear cubes.	Bon Appétit's endorsed alternative nugget pick. Excellent quality signal, but only one authoritative outlet currently vouches for it, so it sits mid-board on consensus breadth rather than quality.
