Thor Kitchen TIM1511 Built-In Ice Maker 15 in

Overview

The Thor Kitchen TIM1511 is a 15-inch built-in ice maker with a stainless finish, a built-in drain pump, and a zero-clearance hinge for flush cabinet installation. It is rated for both indoor and outdoor use.

The built-in pump is the practical detail here: it lets the unit drain uphill or over a distance rather than relying on gravity, opening up install locations a gravity-drain ice maker could not use. The zero-clearance hinge lets the door sit flush against neighboring cabinetry instead of needing swing clearance. Listed daily production is up to 68 lbs with 26 lbs of on-board storage, though the seller description elsewhere cites a lower 55 lb figure, worth confirming before purchase if daily output is a deciding factor.

• Built-in pump for flexible drain routing
• Zero-clearance hinge for flush cabinet fit
• Rated up to 68 lbs of ice produced per day
• Holds up to 26 lbs of ice in storage

Who it's for

Suits anyone adding a dedicated ice maker to a home bar, kitchen island, or outdoor kitchen where a flush, built-in look matters. Less useful if you only need occasional ice and would rather use a portable countertop unit with no installation.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The built-in pump actively moves waste water out rather than relying on gravity alone, which matters where the drain line has to run uphill or a longer distance. The zero-clearance hinge means the door does not need swing room beyond the cabinet face, useful in tight galley layouts. Rated for indoor and outdoor use, it is built to handle the temperature range of a patio or outdoor kitchen setup.
