Before We Had a Countertop Sonic Ice Maker at Home...

Introduction

We have all encountered situations where ice would have come in handy. Whether we want to get some beverages to cool down in hot summer, or we need to use ice when holding a party, or even if we are slightly injured and need to reduce the swelling, ice can become a lifesaver. In an emergency, as long as it is ice, it can play a role, whether it is ice cube, bullet ice, nugget ice or even flake ice.

However, in the good old days, ice cubes were made in the old fashioned way. You had to fill trays with water and then put them in the freezer, waiting patiently for a few hours or overnight. If you needed ice in a hurry, then you were out of luck.

I remember when I was a kid, we didn't have any fancy portable ice machines. Many times, when I open the refrigerator, the ice runs out, and I have to wait for an hour to have ice for my soda.

   

 If I ask my family who hasn't refilled the ice tray, they all have the same answer. No one has time. Everyone thought it was too troublesome to refill the ice tray. Every time there is no ice, my siblings and I have to take turns to fill several ice trays with water and then put them into the refrigerator. It was not easy for us when we were young to refill the ice trays. We didn't want to spill any water on the way to the refrigerator, so we needed to be very careful, otherwise we would be nagged by our mom.

   

Since then, it was always a race to see who could get to the ice tray first after it had been in the freezer long enough. Usually, my mom would end up being the one who got the first few cubes. I always thought it was so unfair. When the ice is almost running out, we will leave an ice cube in the tray, and then the next person who uses it needs to fill it up.

Sometimes when you saw them leave one ice cube in the tray, and I need to fill the ice trays, my expression looks like the following figure:

   

My mother often tells us that if we don't refill the ice tray, I'll find you. Sounds so scary, doesn't it? So we all have to listen to mom.

We've all had times when there's no ice

Sometimes we need ice, but we don't find ice or an ice maker around? It definitely a frustrating experience, especially when it's hot outside and we're trying to keep drinks cold. Here are some common situations we may have experienced.

-You're at a cookout and someone requests iced tea, but there's no ice to be found.

- You're hosting a party and your guests are requesting cocktails, but your freezer is empty of ice cubes.

-On weekends, when you have guests over and run out of ice. You scour the house for ice cubes, but there are none to be found. Your only option is to send someone out to buy more ice or make do without cold drinks.

-When your refrigerator ice maker often breaks down, but you don't want to waste money on a new refrigerator in order to get a new ice machine.

-You open your freezer door, only to be met with an empty ice tray. You search the house for ice, but there are none to be found. Suddenly, you remember that the power went out last night and the ice in the freezer has melted.

-In an emergency, we suffered a little injury, ankle or wrist is painful and swollen, and need to be covered with ice.

Next time you find yourself in need of ice, don't panic, there are always solutions. You may be able to drive to a nearby convenience store to buy some chewable ice or you can always ask friends to stop by a store on their way over.

However, in each of the above cases, it is difficult to get ice quickly without a portable compact ice maker. Although they appear to be small cases, they can actually make a big difference in your quality of life. So thankfully, modern technology makes it easy to get ice on demand. Today, there are portable countertop nugget ice makers that can produce ice in just minutes.

Nugget ice machines have pros and cons, some people can't accept its noise, or think that compared with ice cube, nugget ice melts quickly, or think it is very expensive. Now the latest nugget ice maker dispenser from ge is really much more expensive. But you can imagine that if you have an ice machine, you don't need to wait for hours to make the ice cubes - When you are camping, when you are holding a party, when you have guests coming to your house, when your refrigerator ice maker breaks down, and when you need ice urgently, with a countertop sonic ice maker, you can get them at any time (only ten to twenty minutes). Ice production meets your needs and can produce about 30 pounds of ice per day.

In brief, if you find yourself in a situation where you need ice but don't have an ice maker, there are still plenty of options available. You can always buy nugget ice(sonic ice, pellet ice) from a store or ask friends if they'll bring over some extra packs of cubes ice when you need them - but why not have the option of making fresh batches right at home?
