For how long will my ice maker keep ice frozen?
While ice makers have insulation, they are not freezers. You can expect your ice maker to hold ice for a few hours with the door closed, but eventually the ice will melt back into water and return to the reservoir or will need to be drained.
Are these machines noisy?
Ice machines hum and thrum and clank like a mildly insistent robot while they’re working to make ice. They’re likely as loud as your coffee maker, making the most noise at the start of an ice cycle and when cubes start clanging into an empty bin.
Where is the best place to keep an ice maker? Counter? Bar cart?
Keep your ice machine close to where you’ll be making your drinks. Remember, you’ll need an outlet close by and possibly a water line. If you’re tucking it away on a shelf, make sure you can easily get the ice out and have enough space to lift the lid.
