Engineered for Performance. Proven at Scale.
The Ice House Advantage
Why do top operators choose IHA over everyone else? Because we don't just build these machines—we operate them ourselves. We design every unit with the durability, technology, and hands-on support we demand for our own locations. When you partner with IHA, you’re investing in proven equipment built by operators, for operators.

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.

WHAT MAKES ICE HOUSE AMERICA THE BEST ICE & WATER VENDING MACHINE?
TWICE THE ICE: THE MOST RECOGNIZABLE NAME IN THE BUSINESS

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.
