Sure it’s August, but that heat isn’t going away anytime soon. If you’re someone who absolutely needs ice to survive the steamy weather, here’s some good news: Walmart is currently selling a bestselling countertop ice maker at 50% off its regular list price. Right now, you can grab the Kissair self-cleaning portable ice machine, which claims to make bullet-shaped ice in just six minutes, for just $65.66, down from its $129.99 price tag. That’s a steep, steep discount on ready-made ice, anywhere you want, no trays or molds required.

This bestselling ice machine makes up to 26 pounds of ice in 24 hours, features a self-cleaning mode and has a top-handle for easy carry around parks, yards and around your kitchen. “I love the fact I can turn it on and 12 minutes later I have enough ice to fill my tumbler,” raves a shopper named Rebecca. “I never run out of ice, and I don’t have to mess around with the ice trays anymore.”
This ice maker is as easy as pouring water into its tank, pressing the on button and waiting between six to 12 minutes for its first batch. It’ll keep your ice cold as long as it’s on, and when you’re finished, you can toggle its self-cleaning mode by holding the “on” button for 5 minutes and waiting for it to rinse its filters clean. Weighing around 13 pounds, the ice maker comes bundled with an ice scoop and one ice basket and its handle makes it easy to bring to your next gathering.
Reviewers are impressed by how simple it is to use and its quiet operation. They also say the ice comes out soft and chewy, not dense and tough, and shipping from Walmart was surprisingly fast.

“This is the third ice maker I have purchased, but the only Kissair brand,” says one reviewer. “It is wonderful...fast cube making, quiet and a large capacity holding basket. A perfect companion for summer when the family freezer can’t keep up with the ice cube demand. It also has a self-scale and cleaning option. This one is a keeper!”
Chill your next drink in no time and grab this nifty, portable ice maker while it’s half off — and hurry, because we don’t think this deal will last long.
Read on for more promising reviews of the Kissair portable ice maker:
“Love this ice maker. Very convenient makes ice quick and quiet. I don’t have a refrigerator with an ice maker so this is like I’m spoiling myself.” — Tonya K
“This is literally awesome, Ice just keeps coming and the cubes are solid so stay frozen well throughout the beverage. Highly recommend and it was delivered ahead of schedule.” — Terry
“The ice-maker was an amazing purchase. Worth every cent to see and hear my grown child’s reaction. She just loves the ease and satisfaction she gets from her new “toy”. She loves eating ice. She has bought several different ice trays to make ice, but none has been able to satisfy her. It’s so small and compact she wants to take it to work with her. Best gift to her!” — James
“Makes ice pretty fast [doesn’t] run out of water And fills the bucket fast . Make sure u buy an ice bucket for the freezer . Ice does stick together when you put it in the freezer but easily comes apart for a nice cold drink , as well as the texture for chewing it doesn’t change.” — Gwendolyn
“We love this ice maker, we live in our camper. This machine is small but fast. It makes fully frozen bullet cubes. We had a different brand for about 3 years it started getting slow so we took it too our house and bought another one for the camper. Great product at a very reasonable price. It was delivered much earlier than expected. I would highly recommend this product!!” — Mema
“I purchase[d] this item for a Father’s Day gift. My dad was always running out of ice. Now he smiles. Every time he hears the ice fall into the bucket. I recommend this product because of his affordability and portability. The first batch of [ice] may look thin however, as the ice continues, it begins to increase in density five stars.” — SonyaJWL
