Best Margaritaville machine for small kitchens

All Margaritaville machines are taller than a blender because the ice reservoir sits on top. The single-jar 36 oz models (Bahamas, Key West, Fiji) are the compact end of the range; the Tahiti and Bali are party-sized. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Tips

Measure the height under your wall cabinets — the reservoir and lid need clearance to remove.
The Tahiti’s Amazon listing gives about 19.5 × 19.5 × 19.3 inches; it’s a counter-hog, best stored in a pantry.
A travel/storage bag keeps a single-jar model dust-free in a closet.
