Overview
This countertop ice machine from NewAir turns out up to 28 pounds of bullet ice a day in three cube sizes, with a first batch ready in about 10 minutes, housed in a stainless steel body with a scoop and basket included.
This is an insulated countertop unit, not a freezer, so it slows ice melt but doesn't keep ice frozen indefinitely once it's made.

Who it's for

Frequently asked questions
Does the NewAir AI-100SS keep ice frozen like a freezer?
No, it's an insulated countertop unit rather than a freezer, so ice will gradually melt if left in the basket too long.
How much ice can it hold at once?
The basket holds roughly enough for 10 to 12 large cubes at a time, according to buyer estimates.
