How to make sure you have enough ice for a party.

As a rule of thumb, you should plan to have one pound, or two cups of ice, per guest. The Bosch QuickIce Pro System in 500 Series refrigerators make up to 40 glasses of ice per day*, meaning there will be enough ice to keep everyone’s drink cool. As the industry’s fastest refrigerator ice maker,** the Bosch QuickIce Pro System refrigerator allows you to enjoy time with your guests, rather than running to the store to pick up more ice in the middle of a party.
