New or used? Where's the beach house? There are a few listed on Craigslist.

We have one. Bought used at restaurant supply/equipment shop. 7 years now. Fills six 5 gal. igloo water jugs a day m-f. What ever you buy pop for double water filtration and turn it off and wash it out monthly. Nobody wants Slime in the Ice Box. We use a no rinse sanitizer powder purchased in one gallon size.

Hard to find a good used one. They go quick to people that know someone that works on them is my experience. I use my neighbors so dont own one but I researched them hard a few years back. I decided that a quality brand (Manitowoc, Scotsman, etc) air cooled (the water cooled ones use ALOT more water) top mount unit sitting on a 500 lb hopper would fit my needs. About $3k new. Different cube styles too, I think I would go with a full or half cube model.

Thanks to all I went with a Manitowoc 140A makes 135# holds 90. Here @ Port Mansfield Tx there is a great Tech that works this area and this was his recommendation

Ahh funny. I just purchased the same one. I'm in central Florida and its like winning the lotto here trying to grab a used one. Was going to recommend www.webstaurantstore.com/ as they have scratch and dent models every so often. |
