Overview

The Scotsman MC0530MA-1 Prodigy Elite is a 30 inch, air-cooled commercial ice machine that produces medium cube ice up to 525 lb per 24 hours, aimed at restaurants, bars, and other foodservice operations rather than home kitchens.

This is a self-contained condenser unit, meaning the cooling hardware sits inside the machine rather than needing a remote condenser. Scotsman's ICELINQ app is the notable addition here, giving operators a way to check diagnostics, walk through cleaning steps, and review error history from a phone instead of opening a service manual.

Who it's for

Built for commercial kitchens and bars needing a steady supply of medium cube ice, and NSF and cULus certified for that use. Not intended for home installation.

What buyers say

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out

ICELINQ app gives real-time diagnostics and cleaning guidance
Preservation mode aimed at maximizing uptime
Removable front air filter simplifies maintenance
NSF and cULus certified for commercial use

What to check first

Rated 525 lb output drops to 380 lb under AHRI's warmer test conditions
Commercial installation and power requirements, not a drop-in home appliance

Performance notes

Rated production is up to 525 lb per 24 hours at 70°F ambient and 50°F water, with an AHRI-certified rating of 380 lb at 90°F and 70°F, so real output will run lower in a hot kitchen. The front-facing removable air filter and preservation mode are meant to protect uptime, and Bluetooth connects the unit to the ICELINQ app for cleaning guidance and error history. It draws 115v, 60Hz single-phase power at 15.2 amps.
