Portable ice making machine
« on: December 31, 2013, 09:47:05 AM »

Has any one have or used a portable ice making machine. I am looking at getting one to take to the Cape next year. I have a generator to run them and it would be good to have ice for my mixture of spirits.

I have seen them on eBay but unsure of what is a good one.
