Overview

A 15 inch built-in ice maker that needs no drain, producing and storing up to 15 lbs of crescent ice cubes with a panel-ready door for a custom cabinetry look.

Skipping the drain requirement widens where this can be installed, since it does not need a floor drain or condensate pump nearby. The door accepts overlay panels to match surrounding cabinetry, though those panels are sold separately.

  • Drain-free operation
  • 15 lb ice production and storage
  • Panel-ready door (panels sold separately)
  • Static cooling with insulated storage bin

Who it's for

Suited to kitchen or bar remodels where a drain line isn't available and a built-in, cabinet-matched look matters. Not for buyers who want a finished stainless front without also buying overlay panels.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • No drain or pump required
  • Panel-ready door for built-in cabinetry look
  • Insulated bin and static cooling hold ice longer
  • Includes ice scoop and holder
Cons
  • Overlay panels sold separately, not included
  • 15 lb capacity is modest for entertaining

Performance notes

A static cooling system and insulated storage bin are meant to hold made ice longer than a basic cold-air system, and the flush-back cabinet design lets the unit sit freestanding or fully built in without extra clearance for cleaning access.
