Calling all ice connoisseurs—yes, we know you're out there—Amazon is having a secret sale on countertop ice makers right now. While most refrigerators feature a built-in ice maker, they usually can't keep up with demand once summer rolls around. A countertop ice maker, on the other hand, will keep you stocked up on ice at all times, whether you're chilling drinks, filling a cooler, or playing bartender. Plus, for ice lovers, you can get a machine that makes your favorite shape of ice, from bullet ice to large ice cubes to Sonic-style nugget ice. And best of all: no more panic trips to the convenience store for a bag of ice when entertaining guests.

Besides being discounted just in time for peak summer heat, all of the ice makers included here have some of our favorite features to look for in a countertop ice maker. They all feature a clear plastic window on the top so you can see how many cubes you have left without opening the machine and letting in hot air, causing ice to melt faster. They also all have refillable water reservoirs that don't require direct hookup to a water line, which makes them portable. Beyond your kitchen countertop, these compact and portable ice makers are also a handy appliance for camping, tailgating, road trips, or anywhere where you might want to cool down off the grid.

Ahead, shop the best countertop ice maker deals on Amazon, many of which are models that have been tested by our product experts. We expect these deals to sell out fast, so be sure to act now if you've been considering adding an ice maker to your collection of kitchen appliances.

This is our editorial team's favorite overall countertop ice maker thanks to its sleek design, high ice output, and easy-to-use interface.

What’s more, it’s also the best ice maker deal on Amazon right now. It’s currently on sale for an impressive 46 percent off, bringing the total to just over $100—a fraction of the price of many other ice makers by popular brands.

This countertop ice maker is the best-selling ice maker on Amazon—and that’s no surprise, considering its affordable price point, small countertop footprint, and quick ice-making speed. It starts churning out ice cubes 6 minutes after being turned on and will completely fill the 1.5-quart basket in about an hour. It also has a 4.4 out of 5-star rating from over 14,000 customers—the most of any countertop ice maker on Amazon—and reviewers say the machine is easy to use and that it produces ice quicker than comparable models.

We also love that it can make two different sizes of bullet-shaped ice, and the machine comes in three different color options: black, silver, and red.

If you're a fan of the small, crunchy nugget-style ice (also known as pellet ice) popularized by Sonic and Chick-fil-A, a nugget ice maker is the appliance you never knew you needed. In addition to being more chewable than its cubed counterpart, nugget ice also cools down drinks faster while maintaining the optimal flavor in your beverage.

This machine has the largest storage basket of any of the models on this list, so you'll never run out of ice when you need it.

This compact ice maker is a great budget- and space-friendly option. It has the smallest countertop footprint of other model on this list and its light weight makes it easily portable for road trips or picnics.

Our product testers noted that it is quieter than other models while producing ice—about the same volume as a microwave. It’s quick, too: You’ll start getting bullet-shaped ice cubes in about 10 minutes.

While our editors have not tested this specific model, it does have one of the highest customer ratings we’ve seen on Amazon for any ice maker, with a 4.6-star average. It also produces 30 pounds of ice per day, an impressive feat for such a compact machine.

One reviewer says, “to say that I am impressed with this ice maker is an understatement. It makes super high quality crunchy/chewy ice that tastes great,” while another adds that, “it has no problem keeping up with our ice addiction.”

Countertop ice makers are a must-have appliance for ice connoisseurs and families who entertain. Amazon is having a secret sale on our top-tested models.
