Overview

A countertop bullet ice maker built for a kitchen counter rather than a wall opening: it makes up to 9 ice cubes in about 6 minutes and up to 26 pounds within 24 hours, with a choice of two cube sizes for drinks or for keeping food cold.

This is a self-contained unit you fill with water by hand, not a plumbed-in appliance, so it needs refilling for extended runs. A built-in self-clean cycle and a removable top lid keep maintenance simple, and at just over 14 pounds it moves easily between a kitchen, office, or RV.

  • 9 cubes in about 6 minutes, up to 26 lbs per day
  • Two cube sizes, S and L
  • 30-minute self-clean cycle
  • Under 35 dB operating noise

Who it's for

Good for anyone who wants ice on demand without a chest freezer's worth of trays, including small households, campers, and people setting up a home bar or office break room. Not a fit for anyone who needs a large standing reserve of ice or perfectly clear cubes.

What buyers say

From Amazon customer reviews.

Reviewers consistently praised the speed and quiet operation, several calling it easy to clean thanks to the removable lid, and multiple buyers said it replaced regular bag-ice purchases. The one recurring complaint was that the included ice scoop has nowhere secure to sit, with one buyer noting a suction hook did not hold it in place; another wished for an external water tank to reduce manual refilling.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Ready ice in about 6 minutes per batch
  • Runs under 35 dB, quiet for shared rooms
  • Removable top lid simplifies cleaning
  • Light enough at 14 pounds to move between rooms
What to check first
  • No dedicated storage spot for the included ice scoop
  • Manual water fill only, no plumbed water line

Performance notes

The machine cycles water through a small evaporator to freeze bullet-shaped cubes, choosing S or L size depending on the setting, then drops finished ice into the basket while it starts the next batch. Indicator lights flag a low water level or a full basket so the cycle does not run dry.
