Big W ice makers
Big W runs a full ice maker category, several pages deep, and stocks none of it. Every listing we could find is a third-party Marketplace seller shipping direct, which changes the delivery, the returns and the warranty rather than the machine.
The thing that is actually different about buying here. There is no Big W own-brand ice maker and nothing is in store. Each unit is delivery only, with a fee that depends on your postcode, sold by a seller who is not Big W. That is not a reason to avoid it, but it does mean the comparison is not Big W against Kmart, it is a marketplace seller against a shop.

What it lists
0 listings across 0 brands: . These are the same cheap-import machines that appear at Bunnings, Amazon and Kogan, frequently from the same sellers, so the range is familiar rather than exclusive.
Where else to look
We earn nothing from Big W and nothing from most of the alternatives either, so this is not a redirection. If you want to see a machine before buying, Kmart has an own-brand unit in store and Target sells the same one. For the range across every shop, see where to buy ice makers, and for the full comparison the main ice maker page.
Common questions
Does Big W sell ice makers in store?
No. Big W lists a substantial ice maker range online and every unit we could find is a third-party Marketplace listing marked delivery only, with a postcode-based delivery fee. There is no Big W house-brand ice maker and nothing to pick up from a shelf. If you were planning to look at one in person before buying, Big W is not the place.
Who handles a Big W ice maker warranty?
The Marketplace seller, not Big W, and that is the practical difference between this and buying from Kmart or Target. Your Australian Consumer Law rights still apply and the claim is normally made against the seller, but a seller you have never heard of is a harder party to deal with than a chain with a returns counter. Worth factoring in before saving twenty dollars.
Are the Big W nugget ice makers real nugget machines?
We could not verify a single one of them. Several listings are titled nugget or pebble, but Big W blocks automated access to its product pages, so the imagery could never be checked against the claim. Given how routinely the word nugget is attached to machines that make hollow bullet ice, an unchecked title is not evidence. Buy one of those expecting chewable ice only if the returns policy would let you send it back.
Is Big W cheaper than other retailers?
Not systematically, from what we could price. The units it lists are the same cheap-import machines sold at Bunnings, Amazon and Kogan, often by the same sellers, so the prices land in the same band. Add the delivery fee, which varies by postcode, before comparing against a retailer you can walk into.
