From Ice bins to Ice Dispensers and Ice Baggers, when searching for an ice machine for your business, it’s important to do your homework. This means heading online to research all the latest models that may fit your needs and your budget. However, don’t just focus on the lowest price, as you indeed get what you pay for! There are many other factors to consider, such as state of the art features that can increase your convenience, any warranties attached, capacity (i.e., do you want to serve a few people a day or over 100?), and type (under counter, stand alone, built in, etc.)

Popular clear ice cube styles available include: gourmet, full cube, half cube, flake, pearl (or nugget, similar to what Sonic serves), flake, small dice, octagon, crescent and more.

With so many ice makers on the market today, it’s difficult to say which one is the best if we don’t know your individual circumstances. The best one for you will depend largely on which industry you’re in, such as manufacturing and industrial, medical facilities, offices, schools/colleges, retail locations, hotels/motels/inns/resorts, restaurants/bars, or gyms/health clubs/spas. There are many sites out there that offer research into the best-ranked ice makers, where you can search by size, price, industry or usage requirements.

The top rated ice machines will be those that score high marks in price, functionality, design and output. That’s why it’s important to shop around to check costs and customer satisfaction rates. Look for these parameters when researching ice machines for your business:

  • Easy installation
  • Produce ice quickly and efficiently
  • Proper insulation
  • Produce cold conditions consistently
  • No build-up of condensation or frost
  • Removable bins
  • Plenty of storage
  • Quiet operation

Ice MachinesSome of these factors may be more important for your business than others. For instance, quiet operation may not mean much to a busy bar owner where the environment is always noisy; however, to a small office or nursing home, quiet operation is key. In addition, you must match the type of industry with the type of machine you invest in. For instance, you’ll need a large unit with several hundred pounds of output for manufacturing purposes, but only a small under-counter unit for a school or spa.

You may want to invest in a top-rated ice machine for your high-end restaurant or bar featuring bubble-free, purified water artisanal ice cubes for your customers’ discriminating tastes. The possibilities are endless.
