Oh yes, quite popular here in the US. There are two kinds, really - the ones the post is about are in the door, so you don't even have to open the door to get ice, which you'd think would appeal to people trying to save energy. The other kind make ice and dump it into a tray in the freezer, and you have to open the freezer door or drawer to use it.
We have the latter, and we use enough ice that we keep up with it - it doesn't fill up and shut off or anything like that. I can use ice cube trays but I prefer my ice maker. In fact when we bought the house, it wasn't hooked up at all, because the previous owners had a dedicated ice maker in the garage that they used that they took with them. I made the effort to get it working pretty quickly after we moved in.
Yeah I was amazed by those when I visited the us. They are quite energy inefficient, but feel like decadence.
Then again, I figured the amount was by design. You guys use a lot of ice in everything. Like this big soda cups are at least half full of ice. Where I'm from there's two to three cubes per glass.
Some fridges have both, the freezer ice cubes are generally bigger in my experience, and I prefer them.
