Who Invented the Ice Machine? The ice machine is the most popular way of obtaining ice today. It is used in restaurants, hotels and home refrigerators. Since its inception in the 1800s, improvements have made the machines easier to use and more economical. Thaddeus Lowe introduced the first ice machine in 1865. Lowe studied the process of air moving over different temperature conditions, such as heat or extreme cool. The ice machine is used to produce ice for commercial applications and home use.
