Overview
Not a built in unit, this silver NewAir rests on a counter or table and needs no permanent installation. A two button panel selects the ice size, and a well insulated compartment stores the finished ice.
Its portability and size choices make it useful for parties, a home bar or a small office. The listing quotes batch times of six, ten and fifteen minutes in different places, so the real cycle is unclear.
Who it's for
Hosts, small offices and anyone with a home bar who want ice on demand without installation will find the format convenient. Buyers who need clear cycle data, or a fixed in place machine, should look at other models.
Pros and cons
- Portable, no permanent installation
- Three bullet ice sizes
- Two button control panel
- Insulated storage compartment
- Cycle time quoted inconsistently
- Fills with water by hand
- Specs list only a manual as included
Performance notes
The machine freezes water into bullet shaped ice and drops it into an insulated storage area, so output is rated per day rather than per cycle. Indicator lights show when ice is ready and when water is needed. Melted ice drains back into the machine for reuse.

Frequently asked questions
How fast does the NewAir AI-100S make ice?
The copy quotes cubes ready in 6 minutes, a new batch every 10 minutes and ice in as little as 15 minutes, so the actual cycle varies by statement.
Does the NewAir AI-100S need to be plumbed in?
No. The manufacturer copy says it is portable and does not require any permanent installation.
Is the NewAir AI-100S a freezer?
No. It is a bullet ice maker with insulated storage, not a freezer for food.
