FAQ
What’s the entry price for Hoshizaki ice makers on KW?
Current live entry is around $2,141.90+GST for the KM‑40C‑HC self‑contained crescent ice maker. Check product pages for the latest pricing.
Do I need a drain pump and water filter?
Most self‑contained units need a drain (some require an external pump), and a filter is strongly recommended to maintain ice clarity and reduce scale. Filter kits and hoses are available in Ice Machine Accessories.
