Ice makers as a separate appliance are becoming increasingly in demand as families find more ways to enjoy cold drinks. From just a simple glass of ice water to premium iced coffee, there’s an endless array of drink possibilities when you have an ice maker continuously churning out ice for your enjoyment. Here, we’re spotlighting three of our favorite ice makers that are worth considering to upgrade your kitchen or wet bar.
Benefits of an Ice Maker
At first, a stand-alone ice maker can seem a bit, well, extra. But the more you think about its real world benefits, the easier it is to see why ice makers are becoming a popular appliance choice for busy families. Check out some of these common benefits of ice makers:
- Makes ice faster than ice cube trays or many refrigerators
- Allows you to utilize your freezer for more storage space, eliminating the space an ice maker typically consumes
- Separate appliances for separate functions. If you’ve ever had a faulty ice maker in your fridge, you know how frustrating it can be to have serviced.
- Easier access, especially for entertaining, guests can help themselves to plenty of ice.
- From iced coffee and tea to mixing cocktails, there’s a lot of reasons to need copious amounts of ice.
