Xo Ice Makers

XO Ice Makers at Plesser's Appliances

XO ice makers, available at Plesser's Appliances, produce and store ice on demand at a bar or in the kitchen without taking capacity from the refrigerator. Offered in undercounter widths for built-in or freestanding installation.

Dedicated Ice Production
A standalone ice maker produces substantially more ice per day than a refrigerator's ice compartment and puts it where drinks are actually made. For entertaining, that is the difference between a full bin and running out mid-evening. Daily production and bin capacity vary by model, so confirm both against your expected volume.

Ice Quality and Cube Style
Ice from a dedicated machine freezes differently than ice from a refrigerator tray, and cube style affects how quickly a drink dilutes. Confirm what cube type your model produces and whether it offers clear ice, since that is the practical reason to specify a standalone unit for a home bar.

Water Filtration
Ice takes on whatever is in the water it is made from, including chlorine taste and odor, and nothing masks it in a drink. Filtration reduces contaminants before the ice forms. Ask about filter type, replacement intervals, and ongoing filter cost when you specify.

Built-In or Freestanding
Front-venting construction allows a flush built-in installation within a cabinetry run, and the same units are typically rated for freestanding placement. Ice production generates more heat than refrigeration alone, so front clearance for ventilation is not optional. Confirm cutout dimensions and required clearance before framing.

Plumbing, Drainage, and Installation Planning
Ice makers require a dedicated circuit, a water supply line, and depending on the model a gravity drain or a condensate pump. Whether a drain is required is the single most consequential item to confirm before cabinetry and flooring are finished. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about width, water and drain requirements, and filtration before ordering.
