A reasonable planning number is 1 to 1.5 pounds of ice per guest for a few hours of drinks, more if you're also chilling bottles or cans in a tub. For 15 to 20 guests over an afternoon, that's roughly 20 to 30 pounds, which a 34 to 40-pound-per-day machine can keep up with as long as it's been running for a few hours before the party starts, since the ice bin only holds a few pounds at a time and the rest comes from continuous production.
Yes, and this matters more than the machine's daily rating suggests. The storage bin on most countertop ice makers holds only 2 to 3.5 pounds of ice at once, the daily total is a cumulative figure, not a standing reserve. Start the machine 3 to 4 hours before a party so it has a full bin plus a couple of completed cycles banked before guests start scooping.
