re: Why are undercounter Icemakers so expensive?

We moved into a house in the early 90s, and one of the first things my parents did was install an under counter ice machine and a trash compactor. I hated that trash compactor. Certain bags you had to use, and it was my responsibility to take the trash out and put the bags back in it. The ice maker had issues and I think they replaced it twice, and we only lived in that house for 10 years or so.
My dad has a townhouse now, and when he moved in it had a similar model. Under counter machine at a built in bar. Multiple repairs and one replacement later, it got so bad that he finally just disconnected it. He said he will eventually replace it with an under counter fridge but the problem is the ones that will fit in the space of an ice maker aren't that large.
I would avoid getting one. My fridge has a drawer freezer at the bottom with a large enough tray for ice that we rarely run out. If we need more for a dinner or party I just go buy a couple of 20 lb bags and toss them in my chest freezer in the basement until we need them.

The size finder at AJ Madison helped us find a model that fit, with the required forward exhaust.
I recall that it was in their undercounter wine cooler category.
