Overview
Fast, on-demand ice for a home bar is the appeal of the COSTWAY 24744RE-CYEP, a countertop ice maker producing 26 lbs of bullet-shaped cubes in 24 hours, with a self-clean cycle built in.
- 26 lbs of ice per 24 hours
- Bullet-shaped cubes in 8 minutes
- R600a refrigerant, roughly 45 dB operation
- Includes scoop and removable basket
Who it's for
Good for anyone who wants fast, on-demand ice for entertaining or a home bar and is willing to run the self-clean cycle periodically. Not ideal for buyers wanting appliance-grade reliability over many years without any risk of a fan or coil failure.
Pros and cons
- Produces ice in about 8 minutes per batch
- Self-cleaning cycle helps with mineral buildup
- Runs quiet enough for daily countertop use
- Reliability varies, with some units failing within months
- Ice comes out wet, making bagging messy
- Customer service response was described as slow by one buyer
Performance notes
The unit uses R600a refrigerant with copper-plated evaporators and runs at roughly 45 decibels, producing about 9 bullet-shaped cubes per 8-minute cycle, up to 26 lbs in 24 hours. Well water or hard water appears to accelerate mineral buildup inside the maker, based on one long-term owner's account, which is where the built-in self-cleaning cycle matters most for keeping output consistent. The ice comes out wet rather than fully dry, so bagging it for the freezer takes some extra handling.
