Default Dry Ice Maker

We have recently started to use more and more dry ice in our productions. I have seen online that there are dry ice makers. I was wondering if anyone has used anything like this.

The link shows the one I have been looking at. It requires a CO2 tank of course.

You could do that, but you will be spending nearly 4x as much on Co2 then you would just buying the dry ice. Also, the dry ice "snow" that it makes is useless in a peasouper or an aquafogger. Those things are made to use by a science lab that needs a lb or two of dry ice every once and awhile. They do make in house dry ice makers for labs that use a lot, but they are VERY expensive.

....or you could buy one of these....
