More from this brandAll Hoshizaki ice makersOverview
The Hoshizaki DCM-271BAK is a self-contained countertop cubelet ice machine that dispenses ice or water at the push of a button. It produces up to 286 lbs of nugget-style ice per day and holds up to 10 lbs in its built-in bin, suited to low-volume, point-of-use setups.
Cubelet ice sits between a crushed cube and a nugget, softer than a standard ice cube and quick to chill drinks. This model can sit directly on a counter or pair with the optional SD-271 stand, and the stainless steel body plus ADA-compliant controls make it a fit for breakrooms and small service counters rather than high-traffic bars.
- Up to 286 lbs of cubelet ice per 24 hours
- 10 lb built-in storage bin (0.3 cu ft)
- Push-button ice and water dispensing
- Stainless steel exterior with removable drain pan grate
Who it's for
Suits offices, medical waiting rooms, small cafes and any spot that needs on-demand ice and water without a large storage reserve. Not sized for restaurants or bars pulling ice continuously through a shift.
