Summer may be over, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy a cold drink at home every now and then. If you want to make a margarita at home at the drop of a hat, you'll need an ice maker right on your kitchen countertop. The good news is that Amazon's October Prime Day is right around the corner and that occasion means some of our favorite ice makers are on sale to keep your budget from going cold.
Save up to 32% at Amazon
While the fall shopping event is about two weeks away, Amazon is still offering plenty of discounts on countertop-friendly ice machines (and other kitchen appliances) right now. Some machines make long-lasting ice nuggets while others prepare ice pebbles to keep your glass cold. Whatever your preference, Amazon can help you shop smart.

Save 9% on the GE Profile Opal 2.0 countertop nugget ice maker with this Prime Day deal
Our pick for the best ice maker, the GE Profile 2.0 stands out for its ability to produce crunchable nugget ice quickly and quietly. Testing this machine was a delight, thanks to its intuitive smart connectivity and easy-to-use automatic refill feature. And it can hold up to 3 pounds of ice at any given time, so you'll always be ready to serve up beverages. The smart capabilities of this machine go above and beyond, allowing you to check the machine’s filter status, schedule ice production, and even turn the internal light on and off.
Save 9% on the GE Profile Opal 1.0 nugget ice maker with this fall Prime Day deal
Another great option for nugget ice fiends, the original model of the GE Profile Opal 1.0 also produces impressive amounts of crunchable ice with a fast turnaround. Just like the Opal 2.0, this model can also hold up to three pounds of ice and produces ice with impressive speed. The main difference between the two models is the Opal 1.0 doesn't run as quietly as the newer model, and it lacks the extensive smart capabilities of the Opal 2.0. But, if you're willing to compromise a little for a smaller price tag, the original Opal 1.0 is a great option for ice lovers.
Save 29% on this hefty ice maker ahead of October Prime Day
For all the ice lovers on a budget, the Antarctic Star nugget countertop ice maker is a solid option with an affordable price tag. This machine can produce chewable nugget ice quickly and quietly, with the ability to make up to 85 cups of ice per day. It also features a 15-minute self-cleaning function to ensure you're always enjoying clean, high-quality ice. Although we haven't tested this model ourselves, it boasts a high rating from Amazon reviewers that praise its user-friendly design and quiet motor.
This Frigidaire ice machine has hefty storage for a light price.
If you need a lot of ice at your disposal, the Frigidaire XL makes a big load for a small price. Typically listed for $199.99, Amazon has the hefty appliance on sale for as low as $157.50 thanks to a 21% discount. Another one of our favorite ice makers, the Frigidaire XL impresses by making 24 cubes in about 15 minutes while also storing a few pounds of ice if you need it for later. Not only does it make clear ice with ease, but it also has a chic retro design that brings extra style to any kitchen.
Save 32% on this fast-acting ice cube maker.
For those who've never owned a solo ice maker before, the Luma Comfort ice cube maker is a great place to start. Normally priced at $339.99, the cube-shaped add-on is available for 32% off at $230.84 right now. Our testers praised the Luma Comfort for being able to produce 28 pounds of ice per day. Don't be intimidated by its size, as you simply have to plug it in right out of the box and it can get right to work.
