Ice Maker Rental in Korea — Commercial Ice Machines From ₩12,900/mo

Only some rental companies accept applications from foreigners. Products that accept them carry an 'Open to foreign applicants' label on the product page; products without that label are currently difficult for foreigners to apply for. Approval is decided by the rental company and confirmed during consultation. Korean nationals can apply for every product. Most will look at your business registration and residence status, and some ask for a Korean bank account. SETKORA is a rental broker — we arrange the contract between you and the rental company and are not the contracting party.

Under-counter machines slide below the bar and suit cafés and small pubs where counter space is tight. Self-contained and larger box types produce more ice per day and fit restaurants and busy kitchens. The right size depends on your menu and seat count, so tell us what you serve during the consultation and the daily ice output can be matched to it.

Renting moves a large one-time purchase into a predictable monthly cost at the exact moment a new shop is short on cash. It also keeps the equipment list flexible — if the shop grows or the menu changes, you discuss a different machine at the end of the contract instead of reselling a used one. Contract length and end-of-term options differ by rental company and are confirmed in the consultation.

Mostly the name. You pay a monthly fee to use the appliance, and when the contract term ends you either keep it or return it. Korean brands label the same structure 'rental', 'subscription' or 'membership'. What actually differs is the contract length, the monthly fee and whether installation is included — that varies by product and is confirmed during consultation.

Most items listed here run on a 60-month contract; some are 36, 48 or 72 months. Cancelling early can trigger a settlement for the remaining term, and the amount and method follow the rental company's own terms. We confirm the exact contract conditions for your item during consultation, before you apply.
