Overview
The CrystalCraft Premier USE0050A is an undercounter ice machine built to fit a standard 15 inch cabinet opening or stand alone with its stainless steel top and sides. It produces up to 45 lbs of ice daily with a 25 lb storage bin, suited to home bars or small commercial counters.
Manitowoc built this as a space constrained machine first, sized to slot into a 15 inch cabinet cutout rather than needing a full appliance footprint. An integrated water filter with scale inhibitor handles water quality without a separate filter housing. A drain pump is available but described as an optional addition during install, not a standard inclusion.
- Up to 45 lbs of ice per 24 hours
- 25 lb built-in ice storage bin
- Stainless steel top and sides
- Fits 15 inch cabinet dimensions
Who it's for
Good for anyone converting a 15 inch cabinet slot into an ice station, whether that is a home wet bar or a small commercial counter. It is not sized for high volume service needing hundreds of pounds of ice a day.
Pros and cons
- Fits a standard 15 inch cabinet cutout
- Can install built-in or stand freely
- Integrated water filtration with scale inhibitor
- Drain pump is an optional add-on, not included
- 25 lb storage bin limits standing ice reserve
Performance notes
Square, hard ice cubes form through the CrystalCraft process and drop into a 25 lb capacity bin, with the machine cycling to keep up to 45 lbs produced across 24 hours. The integrated water filter applies depth filtration and a scale inhibitor before water reaches the ice-making cycle, aimed at reducing mineral buildup inside the unit over time.
