Last refreshed Jun 12, 2026 · Based on the Amazon listing and published specifications, not hands-on testing.
A slim, capable under-counter cubelet maker, but confirm door swing clearance against neighboring cabinetry before installing, since at least one buyer ran into a hinge design that would not clear an adjacent unit.

Overview
An under-counter cubelet ice machine built for tight commercial spaces, producing up to 92 lbs of ice a day into a 22 lb storage bin. Its slim 14-7/8 inch width and ADA-compliant build target installs like bars, offices, and hotel suites where floor space is scarce.
Cubelet ice is a small, soft-textured cube format, distinct from Hoshizaki's crescent or dice styles, and this model is self-contained and air-cooled, so it does not need a remote condenser. It is rated for outdoor use under UL listing and can run in ambient temperatures from 45 to 100F, which widens where it can be installed compared to indoor-only units. The door is field-reversible and meant to accept a custom panel to blend into cabinetry, but installers should check swing clearance before finalizing the location.
- Up to 92 lbs of cubelet ice per day
- 22 lb built-in storage bin
- Slim 14-7/8" W under-counter profile
- UL listed for outdoor use, 45-100F ambient range
Who it's for
Fits hotel suites, offices, and bar setups that need under-counter ice in a narrow footprint and can plan for door swing clearance during install. Less suited to anyone installing tight against an adjacent cabinet without checking hinge clearance first.
Pros and cons
- Slim 14-7/8 inch width for tight under-counter spots
- No side or rear clearance needed thanks to front airflow
- Rated for outdoor use and a wide ambient temperature range
- Field-reversible door accepts a custom panel
- One buyer found the door hinge would not clear an adjacent cabinet
- Custom door panel and drain pump are not included
Performance notes
The unit is air-cooled with front-in, front-out airflow, so it needs no side or rear clearance to vent, which is what makes a true under-counter install possible. It produces up to 92 lbs of cubelet ice daily into a 22 lb bin, and runs on R-134a refrigerant across a wide 45-100F ambient range with UL listing for outdoor use. The door is swing style and field reversible, built to accept a custom panel rather than ship with a finished cabinet-matching front.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Hoshizaki C-80BAJ-DS be installed outdoors?
Yes, it is UL listed for outdoor use and rated to run in ambient temperatures from 45F to 100F.
Does the door swing clear of adjacent cabinets?
Not always. At least one buyer reported the door hinge design made contact with an adjacent cabinet in their installation, so swing clearance is worth checking before install.
Does it come with a finished cabinet-matching door?
No, the unit accepts a custom door panel that is not included, and a field door-reversal kit is available separately.
