A large cube ice maker is an excellent addition to bars, sit-down restaurants, and cafes. This is because large ice cube sizes melt more slowly, which prevents diluting drinks and helps them maintain their flavor and quality. Compared to other slow-melting ice shape options like ice balls, a large cube maker usually has a lower price.

When you expect your guests to stay awhile for a date, business, or good times, large cubes are a must. Easy Ice and Hoshizaki are some of the best partners you can have when it comes to keeping customers happy!

Gourmet Sphere Ice and Premium Food Service

Most large cube ice makers available through Easy Ice are air-cooled Hoshizaki models. Hoshizaki has a decades-long reputation for excellence among all brands on the market, with high marks for energy efficiency and reliability.

Daily ice production for these models ranges from 50 to 489 lbs. of ice, which is sufficient for various business needs. Even large restaurants with high seasonal ice demand can keep up by stacking multiple Hoshizaki IM-500SAA Stackable Air-Cooled Square Ice Machine models.

While the air cooling isn't always ideal in intense heat, it complies with local regulations that often ban water-cooled units altogether. The high energy efficiency of Hoshizaki models together with the reduced demand for water can also translate into lower utility bills.

Types of Large Cube Ice Makers

Choosing the right type of large cube ice maker depends on your specific needs and the available space in your establishment. Easy Ice offers a range of options to fit different requirements, each with its unique benefits. Note: for customers seeking a countertop ice machine, a different ice type, such as nugget or regular cubes must be selected. However, if space is a concern, we do have undercounter large cube options available.

Undercounter Large Cube Ice Makers

Undercounter ice makers have a small footprint that's ideal for businesses with limited space. These machines fit neatly beneath countertops, providing easy access to large ice cubes without taking up valuable floor space. Hoshizaki's undercounter models are perfect for small bars and cafes looking to add a touch of class to their drink presentation with clear ice.

Stackable Large Cube Ice Makers

Stackable ice makers are a great choice for businesses that need to produce a significant amount of ice daily but have limited floor space. You can stack multiple units on top of each other, increasing your ice production capacity without expanding your footprint.

Modular Large Cube Ice Makers

Modular ice makers are versatile units that only produce ice. These use less space to produce more ice, and you can pair them with accessories and parts to get any specific functionality you need. You can combine it with a cart, add a dispenser, or otherwise modify the dispenser to match your needs.

In all, it should be no surprise that modular ice machines are the most popular commercial ice machine option. The flexibility of modular units allows you to customize your ice-making setup to meet the specific demands of your establishment.
