Portable Ice Maker by Whynter @hammacher – Preparing For the Holidays!

Upon seeing this sleek-looking appliance on a bar counter, one might just expect James Bond or Bruce Wayne (aka Batman) to saunter up and effortlessly prepare a Scotch on the rocks. Contrary to this scenario though, the Whynter IMC-490SS Portable Ice Maker is not just a toy for international playboys or professional mixologists. It is simply designed for luxury entertaining with the help of innovation.  If you are looking for an industrial ice maker this is a great option.  Those moments of awkwardly popping clunky cubes from plastic ice trays will be a thing of the past. Now, all you’ll need to have handy is a pair of tongs and a blender for your daiquiri-making pleasure. Entertaining will be a breeze. That means less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying guests and loved ones.

This stainless steel countertop companion would be a welcome addition to any kitchen or home bar, taking up only 2.7 cubic feet of space. In this small area, the Whynter quietly produces up to 49 pounds of ice a day. There is even a setting for cubes of different sizes. The cubes produced range from a ½ inch to an inch in size. The user can control and monitor the production of ice using the LED display and touch panel on the front of the machine.

Since the unit does not require any sort of plumping hookup, it is easily portable as well. The host or bartender on the go can put it to work any place where there is access to a 110-volt outlet and water. Imagine how easy it would be to incorporate this into an office or break room setting. This would certainly make the office Christmas party a lot livelier. Tailgating or spending time out on the boat would be greatly enhanced by the addition of a portable ice maker. The unit has a five-liter reservoir compartment. One only has to fill the reservoir with water and select a cube size. The Whynter machine produces ice in an average of 10-15 minutes.

The company behind the IMC-490SS, Whynter LLC, is a premier producer of quality housewares that make the good life easier to enjoy. Besides a wide range of refrigeration appliances, Whynter manufactures all manner of gadgets for outdoor living and air comfort. Whether you’re planning to have a full house for the holidays or just imagining the perfect basement man cave, allow Whynter to help you surround yourself with products that offer both form and function.
