What to consider

There are a few things to consider when buying an ice cream maker. You should make sure you have the space for this, check the dimensions as they come in a variety of sizes. They all have different ice storage capacities and you need to determine what best suits your needs, how you will use it and where you will be using it.

As we have chosen

We researched counter top ice makers and selected the best models and brands with the highest user ratings. While the quality of the ice is the same across the board, our selection is based on functionality, ice capacity, affordability and size. We also considered products that received at least 100 five-star customer ratings from ecommerce sites that we trust.

How ice machines work

Similar to the ice maker in your main freezer, countertop ice makers work by adding water to a rotating ice tray. Then a compressor and fan quickly freeze the water into ice, and then within minutes it’s scraped up and piped into a container. The tabletop ice makers we select do not need to be connected to a water pipe. All you have to do is plug it in and fill the tank with water.
