One of the best things about these ice machines is they don’t take up much space. You can put them on your kitchen counter, next to the kettle or the toaster. They’re about the size of a small microwave—but way cooler (literally and figuratively). You don’t even need to plumb them in: just fill the tank with tap water, flick the switch, and bam—ice.

And if you’re worried about electricity usage, don’t be. Most of these machines use about the same energy as a laptop. Your wallet won’t cry, but your friends will when they see your ice supply.
So what’s the plan of action?
Here’s your mission, should you choose to accept it: Head to Currys Islington this weekend. Bring a friend for moral support, or go solo and pretend you’re a secret agent buying illegal ice-making technology. Walk in, find the sale section, and snag a machine before the other ice enthusiasts get there.
And if you’re feeling indecisive, just ask the staff. They’re ridiculously helpful. One guy at the Angel store literally showed me how the machine works by dropping an ice cube into my hand. I wasn’t even buying—I was just “researching.” He was that into it.
