We want our owners to succeed, and we take every step necessary to make it happen. Plus, we put our money where our mouth is; we not only make and install ice vending machines, but we own them, too. That’s why we make and operate the best ice and water vending machines in the world.

Functionally superior

Ice House America built the first ice vending machines, and we did it best. Our machines are functionally superior to competitors’ machines because of our thoughtful design choices, customizability, and large ice-holding capacity. All of this translates into fewer maintenance needs and more sales. 

  • Bin size: How much ice your machine can make in a day isn’t as important as how much ice the machine can hold. Customers aren’t likely to wait around for the machine to produce new ice—they want ice now! With a bigger bin, your machine can hold more ice and serve more customers, faster.

  • Mechanical Design: Simpler is not always better. Some machines minimize moving parts in the hopes of minimizing maintenance. However, in actual practice, these minimal moving parts are more likely to fail. Our multiple motor and auger design creates reliability and reduces failure. That’s why you’ll see many competitor machines available for much less than their original value—they simply don’t have the same longevity.

  • Technology: Our SmartIce remote monitoring system makes it easier than ever to manage your machines remotely. You can get in-depth insights into sales and trends, monitor your machines in real-time, and troubleshoot any issues. For busy entrepreneurs, SmartIce is a no-brainer.

Economics of an Ice House Vending Machine

What makes IHA the best ice & water vending machine?

Location Support

Finding the right location is critical to your machine’s success. We have a library of potential locations to offer interested entrepreneurs, and we can help you assess any location you have in mind.

Financing

When you purchase an ice and water vending machine, you own it! We know this is a big investment and getting financing can be confusing. We’ve helped hundreds of owners secure financing that is sensible and transparent.

Maintenance

Ice and water vending machines require minimal maintenance and no inventory re-stocking, but it is important to set aside a bit of time for routine maintenance. You’ll have access to our online knowledge base and customer support if you ever have questions.

High Volume, High Revenue

Most competitor machines are the size of an average vending machine, and are limited to about 100 lbs of ice. On a hot day, this can run out in just a few hours, leaving customers empty-handed. Our machines can make and store up to 6,000 lbs of ice, which means you don’t run out of ice and you make more revenue.

The Most Recognized Brand

Our Twice the Ice brand of vending machines is recognized across 50 states, 5 countries, and four continents! Our owners can use the Twice the Ice brand for free; absolutely no franchise fees. Or, create and use your own business brand!

ICE2U Mobile Payments

No other ice machine connects to a mobile app—but ours does. We can connect your machine to the ICE2U app, which literally puts your machine on the map, and allows thousands of customers to make touch-free, mobile payments directly to your machine.

SmartIce Remote Monitoring

Knowing how much your ice vending machine makes, how much ice you’re selling, what times and seasons are busiest, when you need to conduct maintenance, and other essential metrics makes it easier to run your business. Our remote monitoring system, SmartIce, does all that and more.

Customization

Choose from cash and/or card reading, bulk ice vending or bagged ice, custom branding, water vending, and other custom options to get the exact vending machine you need. No other ice and water machine is this customizable!

High-Quality Construction

Ice House America vending machines are made in America from high-quality stainless steel. They are made to withstand outdoor elements and thousands of purchases over years of use. Many of the vending machines we first built are still in use, decades later.

Twice The Ice The most recognizable name in the business

Ice House America owns the Twice the Ice brand, but you’re free to leverage it when you purchase a machine from IHA, or make your own brand. When you buy from IHA, you can put whatever logo or branding you want on your machine.

However, plenty of our buyers choose to use the household name of Twice the Ice (TTI). There are thousands of TTI-branded machines in the world, and individuals use twicetheice.com to find locations near them. Twice the Ice’s brand recognition and high-quality reputation helps ice and water entrepreneurs immediately tap into a lucrative brand name, with absolutely no franchising fees.
