More from this brandAll Hoshizaki ice makersOverview
An undercounter ice machine from Hoshizaki that produces cubelet, nugget-style ice, rated for up to 92 lbs per 24 hours with 27 lbs of built-in storage. At under 34 inches tall, it suits hotel suites, break rooms or bar counters.
Cubelet ice is the softer, chewable style often preferred for beverage service over hard cube ice. The front in, front out airflow avoids the need for side or rear clearance, and a swing-style door can be field-reversed to match either side of a counter opening. Like Hoshizaki's AM-50BAK-AD, it runs on R290 refrigerant and is UL approved for outdoor use.
- Up to 92 lbs of cubelet nugget-style ice per 24 hours
- 27 lbs built-in storage capacity
- Under 34 inches tall, front in front out airflow
- R290 refrigerant, field-reversible swing door
Who it's for
Fits a bar, hotel suite or break room wanting higher ice volume and the softer cubelet style, where near-double output over the AM-50BAK-AD matters more than a strict 32-inch ADA height.
Pros and cons
- 92 lbs of cubelet ice per day
- 27 lbs of built-in storage
- Field-reversible swing door for either-side installation
- R290 refrigerant, UL approved for outdoor use
- At under 34 inches, taller than Hoshizaki's ADA-height model

Performance notes
The compressor draws 2.8 amps on a 115V circuit and is rated at 8.5 kWh per 100 lbs of ice at a 90 degree ambient and 70 degree water baseline, a slightly lower energy figure per 100 lbs than the smaller AM-50BAK-AD despite the higher output. Front in, front out airflow eliminates side and rear clearance needs, and the field-reversible swing door lets installers set the opening direction on site.
