More from this brandAll Hoshizaki ice makersOverview
An ADA-compliant undercounter ice machine from Hoshizaki that produces top hat style cubes, rated for up to 54 lbs per 24 hours with 27 lbs of built-in storage. At under 32 inches tall, it fits spaces where full-height units will not.
The front in, front out airflow design means it does not need side or rear clearance the way many undercounter units do, useful for tight cabinetry. It runs on R290 refrigerant and is UL approved for outdoor installation, with a water circuit built to come apart for cleaning without a service call. The HS-5061 drain pump is listed as a separate accessory rather than included.

Who it's for
Fits an ADA-compliant build-out, such as a break room or bar counter with accessibility requirements, where under-32-inch height matters. Less relevant for a kitchen chasing maximum daily ice output.

Performance notes
The unit draws 2 amps on a 115V circuit and is rated at 9 kWh per 100 lbs of ice produced at a 90 degree ambient and 70 degree water temperature baseline. Front in, front out airflow pulls and exhausts air from the front face only, and the water circuit is designed to disassemble for cleaning rather than requiring a technician for routine maintenance.
