Ice cubes in a cold drink are a basic summer requirement but this professional ice maker is anything but basic. It can make ice in under ten minutes and can crank out 29 pounds of ice per day. It uses either tap or bottled water and can make three kinds of ice cubes. You'll never fill an ice tray again and if you'd like that motel experience, you can always put it outside and fill your ice bucket while in your bathrobe. The ice maker sells for $399.95.

I have one of these behind my bar, and it's quite useless. It makes ice fast enough to keep up with a party of maybe 6 people tops. Sure, it starts making ice in ten minutes, but the ice will immediately melt because it takes hours for the ice maker to get cold enough to keep the ice frozen. So, if you actually wanted to use it for a party, you would need to start it several hours in advance.

Each time you use it, you need to drain the water out or it will get mildew. I had envisioned leaving it running all the time, but it is incredibly noisy.

Conclusion: just by a few extra bags of ice.
