Frequently Asked Questions
1) Why choose this over cheaper ice makers?
Cheaper models use aluminium evaporators that corrode and fail. Hoshizaki’s stainless dual-evaporator lasts years longer and delivers consistently cleaner ice.
2) How much does the drain pump save me?
You avoid a $300–$450 external pump kit plus service callouts from pump blockage or failure.
3) Does crescent ice melt slower?
Yes. Crescent cubes melt slower due to reduced surface exposure, keeping drinks colder without dilution.
4) What’s the expected lifespan?
With regular cleaning, Hoshizaki ice machines commonly run 7–10+ years — significantly longer than non-stainless evaporator brands.
