I never expected to use a smart ice maker in my home, but I love it

My Whirlpool fridge came with an ice maker built into the door. It works fine. I press the lever, ice comes out, end of story. I’ve barely given it a second thought in the years we’ve owned it. That’s why adding a GoveeLife Smart Ice Maker to my Black Friday cart felt a little weird—did I really need this? A dedicated ice maker seemed like overkill for someone who already has ice on demand. But with the holidays, a few birthday parties on the calendar, and plans to finish our basement kitchenette in the coming year, I figured $125 (marked down from $180) was worth the experiment. It turns out I should have bought one of these years ago.
