Explore AjMadison’s wide range of outdoor ice makers, each one designed to meet various beverage cooling needs from intimate gatherings to large parties. Our selection includes freestanding and built-in undercounter models, offering versatility for outdoor kitchens alongside outdoor refrigerators to save you from going in and out of your house to get ice. With options featuring field reversible doors, select outdoor ice makers can be conveniently installed in any corner of your kitchen, giving you easy access to up to 35 lbs. of ready-to-serve ice cubes for any occasion. Many include a factory-installed drain pump, preventing leaks and removing melted water that can freeze cubes together. We carry one of the largest selection of brands from budget to luxury, including DCS, Marvel, Summit, U-Line, XO, and Viking.
For peak beverage enjoyment, many models remove all impurities to produce clear ice, while our higher-end models create gourmet nugget ice. Nugget ice is chewable and melts slower than crescent or cube ice, so you don’t have to worry about diluting your drink. Whether your focus is efficiency or accessibility, AjMadison offers plenty of ENERGY STAR rated and ADA-compliant models to adapt to any lifestyle. If you’re crafting a designer outdoor patio space or backyard, you’ll be happy to know our outdoor ice makers can sport a diverse array of finishes thanks to high-grade stainless steel options and panel ready customization.

What is the average life of an ice maker?
The average lifespan of a countertop unit is around 5-10 years, but a built-in ice maker is typically between 7 to 10 years since these are made with higher-end components. Proper maintenance, such as regular cleaning and using filtered water, can help extend their efficiency over their lifespans.
Do ice makers stop making ice when full?
Most ice makers come with an automatic shut-off function which halts ice production when their sensors indicate the bin is full, but they continue to circulate cold air to keep ice from melting. Slight melting and refreezing may occur if left unused for an extended period, causing some ice cubes to clump together.
How do I know which ice maker to buy?
There are a few main factors you should consider before buying an ice maker. Determine how much ice you want on hand during the day and find a machine with a production rate to match your needs. How much room do you want its storage bin to have? If you use one frequently, find an ENERGY STAR rated model that can minimize cycles and save electricity. Do you want your ice maker to produce cube, crescent, or gourmet nugget ice which melts slower? Most models come with a scooper for serving. Also look for a unit that matches the rest of your major appliances or can be equipped with a custom panel to disappear behind cabinetry for complete integration.
