My Studio Apartment Needs an Ice Maker, and I’m Eyeing These 9 Countertop Options Under $100

I moved from a doorman building to a classic (albeit slightly dingier) NYC walk-up earlier this year. While there are so many quaint and charming benefits of an older building, I can’t help but long for the automatic ice maker that came with my luxury apartment. 

Luckily, Walmart has tons of affordable countertop options to upgrade my studio’s kitchen, so I can still mix up drinks on a moment’s notice — with bullet-shaped cubes, of course. I’m eyeing these nine budget-friendly options from Frigidaire, Kissair, and AICook, all of which are $100 or less and up to 79% off.

Frigidaire Stainless Steel Ice Maker 

This modern stainless steel design offers an advanced water reuse system that recycles melted ice back into ice again. It has a thick foam layer that also insulates heat, and in turn saves energy, while the compressor is powerful enough to create a cooling effect fast — with low consumption and lower noise levels. The compact design makes it easily portable, while it can make up to 26 pounds of ice in just 24 hours.

AICook Self-Cleaning Countertop Ice Maker 

The 79 percent-off markdown is reason enough to buy this AICook self-cleaning countertop ice maker. The fact that it’s an efficient and sleek tabletop appliance is just the cherry on top. The lightweight design produces up to 28 pounds of bullet ice per day, and it can store 1.6 pounds at a time while functioning on a five to eight minute cycle. The modern refrigeration technology promises to keep your ice cold between drinks, and the quiet compressor keeps noise to a minimum.

Wanai Countertop Ice Maker 

If you’re on the hunt for an ultra-affordable ice maker that actually does its job, this is the model for you. According to shoppers, this $50 Wanai appliance works quietly but efficiently, and cranks out nine bullet-shaped ice cubes every six to eight minutes — totaling 26.5 pounds in just 24 hours. The self-cleaning function keeps your ice maker fresh by routinely deep cleaning every inch. You just have to press the “power” button for five seconds after adding water, and it will automatically run for 15 minutes to ensure your ice is fresh and clean.

Orgo Products The Retro Countertop Ice Maker

This on-sale ice maker is more than just a functional choice for your kitchen. It adds style thanks to its retro-inspired design and pastel colorways. The marked-down machine makes bullet-shaped cubes in two different sizes on a six to eight minute cycle. In fact, it can make up to 26 pounds of ice in 24 hours alone. Shoppers raved that the product was both quiet and efficient and great for the money.
