Kmart ice makers
More people search for a Kmart ice maker than for any other ice maker query in Australia, and the honest answer is narrower than that volume implies: Kmart sells one own-brand machine, and a handful of online-only listings from other sellers. Here is what each one is.
The confusion worth clearing up first. A lot of the cheap "Kmart ice maker" deals circulating online are for the Anko ice cream maker, not an ice cube machine. They are different appliances: one churns a frozen dessert, the other freezes water into cubes. If you have seen a Kmart ice maker advertised at well under fifty dollars, that is almost certainly the dessert one. It is an easy mistake to make and an annoying one to discover at the shelf.

What happens when it breaks
Anko carries a stated 1 year warranty, honoured by Kmart rather than by a manufacturer, and Kmart states that it does not supply spare parts or offer a repair service. The remedy is a replacement or refund, not a fix. That is not unusual at this price and it is not hidden, but it does mean the machine is a consumable. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law sit on top of that warranty and are not limited by it, which is set out in the warranty and parts register.
The practical upside of buying from Kmart rather than a marketplace seller is exactly this: a chain with a returns counter is a much easier party to deal with than an online seller with no Australian presence.
Worth comparing before you buy
We earn nothing from Kmart, so there is no reason for this page to steer you away from it. If the Anko unit is in stock and priced where it usually sits, it is a perfectly reasonable budget machine. These are the cheapest machines elsewhere that publish a current price, for context rather than as a recommendation to switch.

The full set is in the main comparison, other shops are in where to buy, and if you want soft chewable ice rather than cubes, no machine at this price will give it to you: see nugget machines.
Common questions
Does Kmart sell ice makers?
Yes, but less of a range than the search volume suggests. There is one own-brand Anko benchtop unit, a 1.2 litre machine that makes hollow bullet ice, which is the one you will find in a store. Everything else Kmart lists is a third-party marketplace seller and is online only, so it cannot be picked up or returned over a counter the way an Anko unit can.
Why do I keep seeing Kmart ice makers for $49?
Because those deals are almost always for the Anko ice cream maker, which is a completely different appliance. It churns a frozen dessert and makes no ice cubes at all. The discounted Kmart prices circulating on deal forums are for that product, and people arrive at a Kmart shelf expecting an ice cube machine and find a dessert maker. Check the product name before travelling.
How much is the Kmart Anko ice maker?
We could not confirm a current price from a citable source, so this page does not print one. Several sources point below one hundred dollars but none we could verify, and inventing a figure for the most searched question on this site would be exactly the wrong place to guess. Kmart publishes the price on the product page and in store, and that is the number to use.
Is the Kmart ice maker any good?
It is a typical budget bullet machine, in the same class as the cheap units sold everywhere else, and for making ice at home that is generally fine. The thing to know before buying is what happens if it fails: Kmart states it does not supply spare parts or offer a repair service, so the remedy is a return rather than a fix. Buy it as a consumable and it is reasonable value. Expect to service it and it is not.
