Editor's Notes
January 15, 2019:
Noted that the Scotsman Gourmet is available with or without a pump, but the price difference between the two styles is so negligible that it would probably make sense for most users to go with the pump version. Highlighted the interior lighting component of the Costway Cube Maker, since it’s the only model I discovered with this feature, which could be very helpful if it’s installed in a dark area.
