Overview
A host stocking a bar, cooler or picnic table gets a compact red machine that makes bullet ice without any permanent installation. A removable ice tray and a scoop handle the ice, and a two button panel starts the cycle.
Portability and the choice of ice size let it move between a kitchen and a patio. The limitation is that water goes in and comes out by hand, so it is not a plumbed appliance.
Who it's for
Households that entertain outdoors or keep a home bar will use the fast cycle and the size options. Buyers who expect an automatic water line, or a very large daily output, should look at a different class of machine.
Pros and cons
- Portable for indoor or outdoor use
- Three ice sizes
- Clear lights show ice ready or water low
- Insulated storage compartment
- Water filled and emptied by hand
- Specs list only a manual as included
- Red finish may not suit every decor
Performance notes
Indicator lights show when ice is ready and when water needs to be added, so the machine tells the user what it needs. The insulated compartment holds the ice, and melted ice drains back into the machine for the next round. The scoop and the removable tray are used to empty it regularly.
