Overview
Slide it under a counter or stand it on its own: the Whynter built-in ice maker produces crescent-shaped ice and holds a reserve in its bin, with one button to run it and an automatic shut off. No drain hookup is needed, so it only needs a wall outlet.
Crescent ice from a cabinet that fits under a counter, with no drain to plumb, is what this Whynter offers a home bar. Its bin stores well under a full day of output, so it suits steady use more than stockpiling for a party. The door is stainless steel but the cabinet material is listed as plastic.
Who it's for
A wet bar, kitchen island or office kitchenette with a free undercounter slot and an outlet nearby is the setting. The daily output covers a household's drinks with a modest reserve. A household that wants bagged quantities of ice in reserve, or nugget and cube shapes, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- No drain line required
- One button operation
- Auto shut off
- Built-in undercounter design
- Storage bin smaller than daily output
- Cabinet material listed as plastic
- Noise level not listed
- Only crescent ice
Performance notes
Output depends on how often the bin is emptied, since the automatic shut off halts production once the bin is full and resumes as ice is removed. The compressor and refrigerant do the freezing, so ambient temperature and airflow in an undercounter slot govern how quickly each batch is ready. One button starts and stops the whole process.
