The thing about a Ice Maker made for your home is you get this small compressor
With a small plate to make ice on so it goes slow.
NOW you are going to put it outside and need ice when it’s hot, so your small unit
is in the heat and getting the piss worked out of it.

I don’t think you will be happy with a home unit, heck my five thousand dollar ice maker
for my restaurant would kinda bog down in the summer heat in my kitchen.
We would try to only rum it in the night after we closed as it would really crank out some heat.
In the winter we would run it in the day and get free heat as it was cold.
The ice storage bin was huge!
I got this unit used for like $700.00 bucks from Woolworths when they closed, and it
Was only one year old!

Knew a guy here that bought this one I think and put it INDOORS and he said it did not work well
And heck that’s like $800.00 bucks.

It’s fun to say look at my cool ice machine for my bar but if it does not work it’s kind of a waste.

Good luck!!
