A portable home ice maker is popular because of its significant benefits over standard commercial ice machines.

These advantages include:

- portable, compact machine

- no need for plumbing in

- great for offices/boardrooms

- ice at the touch of a button

Here is how it works ..............

A portable home ice maker is nothing like a commercial ice maker. Its small size, compact build and ease of use makes it ideal as a home appliance.

When you buy a home ice maker make sure you buy from a duly authorised source.

Portable and compact, the home ice maker comes in a variety of shapes with variations on where it opens to put the water in, etc. For example, it can have a top lid that opens vertically or a central drawer that pulls out. You should receive a mains lead when purchasing a home ice maker and usually (though not always!) an ice scoop. Most machines have a control panel that makes it easy to operate.

You can use the ice you make for many things - to chill lager in bottles or cans or in an ice bucket for bottles of white wine or champagne. Also great for keeping juice and soda drinks cool.
