Overview
The NewAir AI-100BK is a compact countertop ice maker rated to produce about 28 pounds of bullet-shaped ice per day in three size settings, built for kitchens, RVs, bars or offices without a dedicated ice line.
This is a maker, not a freezer: made ice sits in an insulated bin and will melt back into the reservoir over roughly a day if left unplugged, with the melted water recycled into the next batch rather than wasted.
- Up to 28 lbs of ice per 24 hours
- Three selectable bullet ice sizes
- Insulated storage bin with water recycling
- Simple on/off operation with clear indicator lights
Who it's for
Suits RV and motorhome owners, or anyone entertaining regularly who wants ice on demand without a plumbed line. Less suited to anyone wanting ice stored long-term, since it is not a freezer and melts back down within about a day.
Pros and cons
- Produces a useful daily volume for entertaining
- Three ice sizes selectable at one touch
- Recycles melted ice water back into the next batch
- Compact enough for tight counters, RVs or motorhomes
- Water pump is a recurring long-term failure point
- Ice melts back within about a day
- Running the tank low reportedly shortens pump life

Frequently asked questions
Does the ice stay frozen if I leave the unit off?
No, it is an ice maker rather than a freezer, so unplugged ice typically melts back into the reservoir within about a day.
What is the most common long-term reliability issue reported?
The water pump, which several owners say wears out over one to a few years of regular use, particularly if the tank is run low on water.
