- 9 cubes per batch in 6-12 minutes
- Large or small bullet-shaped cube options

Who it's for
Anyone without a working fridge ice maker, or who wants fast countertop ice for entertaining, RVs, or offices. Not for buyers who want long-term cold storage of ice, since it has to be transferred out as it's made.
Pros and cons
- Produces a batch of ice in as little as 6 minutes
- Compact enough for countertops under 15 inches deep
- Self-clean cycle works with a basic vinegar and water mix
- Loud beeping when full or low on water, with no way to turn it off
- Small internal storage tray requires frequent transfers
- Some units stopped producing ice within 6 months to a year
Performance notes
A batch of 9 cubes forms in 6 to 12 minutes and the unit tracks up to 26 lbs of production per day, though the internal storage tray holds under 2 lbs before it needs emptying. Reliability reports are mixed: most describe consistent performance, while a few had units stop making ice within 6 months to a year.
