Why Buy A Portable Ice Maker

No more 2 am  trips to the grocery store for bags of ice

If you throw a lot of big parties, you know the routine: stock up on drinks, stock up on ice. But unless you have an ultra-large refrigerator, your ice supply isn't going to last very long, meaning the drinks get warmer as the night goes on. Portable ice makers are the solution. Start your portable ice maker up just minutes before the party begins, and you'll have a constant and reliable supply of ice that will last the whole night through.

Portable ice maker models

Portable ice makers are easy, quick, and convenient to use. Just plug your portable ice maker in and fill the reservoir with water for almost instant ice cubes. Most portable ice makers will provide your first batch of ice cubes in just 8 to 12 minutes.

These are just some of the portable ice maker models you might consider:

EdgeStar Portable Ice Maker - Titanium & Chrome

The EdgeStar Titanium & Chrome portable ice maker features a sleek and modern design with trendy titanium color finish. This portable ice maker will provide your first batch of ice in less than 10 minutes. The EdgeStar Titanium & Chrome portable ice maker can make as much as 35 pounds of ice per day, and offers 3 different ice sizes for cocktails large and small.

EdgeStar Deluxe Portable Ice Maker - Stainless Steel

The EdgeStar stainless steel portable ice maker is a slightly more expensive model than EdgeStar's Titanium & Chrome design. The EdgeStar stainless steel portable ice maker boasts a highly durable commercial grade design. The EdgeStar Deluxe also features upgraded internal components, so you can know that your ice supply will be there when you need it.

Danby Portable Ice Maker

The Danby portable ice maker offers a slightly different look and features than the EdgeStar portable ice makers. It sports a white design with electronic controls on its face. This portable ice maker's easy to use programs include an LCD display, delay start option, and a self-cleaning program that means no unused ice sloshing around. The Danby portable ice maker is extremely fast, producing a new batch of ice every 6 to 10 minutes.

Frontgate Portable Ice Maker

You'll have easy access to ice cubes using the lift top on the Frontgate portable ice maker. Its stainless steel finish makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The Frontgate portable ice maker's insulated compartment stores up to 2 1/2 pounds of ice, and will keep that compartment full as it turns out 12 new ice cubes every 6 to 8 minutes.

Where to use a portable ice maker

Portable ice makers aren't just for home use: they're called portable for a reason. Portable ice makers are great companions for road trips, family vacations, social gatherings such as family reunions or church picnics, softball games, or summer pool parties. All you need is a water supply and an electrical outlet, and your portable ice maker will make your parties literally the coolest ones around.
