Things to Consider When Choosing a Nugget Ice Machine

When choosing a block ice maker, you should consider the space you have and how you will use it. For example, if you want a standalone model, it will be difficult to transport to parties or camping. However, if you opt for a more compact ice maker, then you can take it with you to your outdoor activities.

Ice machines are available in capacity levels ranging from 20 lbs to 200 lbs. Additional features to consider are countertop models with freestanding, inline water connections and storage tanks, and the maximum number of guests you may serve.
