> [@Armrest](#): > > No ice dispense … wondering about that. It depends, apparently. We were advised against because the water here is so hard (We were descaling the kettle at least once a week). If you’re in a soft water in area, it shouldn’t be a problem, though every extra mechanism is an extra thing that can go wrong ---

We got a softener a few years ago. It works pretty well. ---

> [@Armrest](#): > > No ice dispense … wondering about that. We have one. I like it. It makes some forms of cooking easier, having ice available with which to chill things quickly. We live in a very hard water area, but one can get a small softener just for the supply to the freezer, and the chap who installed it here did just that; it’s all plumbed in. ---

It’s lovely soft water here. No issues with that, but I’ve been advised they take up quite a lot of space from the unit. But regular, instant ice & crushed ice on tap. We have time to consider these details. ---

Our one takes up space at the top of the (large, American-style) fridge and freezer, about a foot wide and fifteen inches deep in the body of the freezer, plus about twenty-one inches up and down of the door. ---

Oh, & Marj. No boiling water spout/tap. Mrs. S surprisingly is very, very anti them. She said they make her joints crawl. The sheer thought of the potential to scald horrifies her. ---

I miss the ice and water dispenser- our Maytag’s in storage. But mostly I miss the on tap chilled filtered water. I’m looking forward to a boiling water tap - save space getting rid of the kettle. ---

On a similar theme, & feeling rather Brian-like … a fitted (“integrated” is the word these days apparently) bottle cooler. What d’ya reckon ??? ---

… but I did buy a sci-fi looking cooker hood. ![AEG X69454BV01 Angled 90cm Chimney Cooker Hood in Black](https://discussion.ambridgereporter.org.uk/uploads/default/original/1X/b2cfb81755ca6f5346e0b7c8d523979324ddb653.jpg) … and a 6 ring hob. With a big 'un, for woks apparently. Or putting a griddle over. ---
