Overview
Summit squeezes a 45 lb/day clear ice maker into a 15 inch footprint with the BIM44G, front-breathing for tight built-in slots or freestanding placement, ADA compliant and ENERGY STAR certified for commercial use.
The 15 inch width and internal pump target spaces too tight for standard commercial ice makers, and the ADA-compliant, ENERGY STAR rated build fits both commercial and high-use home settings. The one caveat buyers should know going in: this is not a sealed pump system, so a power outage means manually emptying ice to avoid water on the floor.
- 45 lb daily production, 25 lb bin hold
- 7/8 x 7/8 x 7/8 inch clear cube ice
- ENERGY STAR certified, NSF listed for commercial use
- ADA compliant, front-breathing cooling system
Who it's for
Well suited to bars, small offices or homes with a narrow 15 inch slot who do not mind monitoring the unit during a power outage. Buyers wanting a fully sealed, hands-off system should look elsewhere.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
One professional installer said the pump works well but flagged that it is not a sealed system, so ice must be emptied if power is lost to prevent flooding. Another buyer reported the ice bin full light stayed on and the unit stopped working entirely within a week, with Summit attributing it to an electronic fault.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 15 inch width fits tight built-in or freestanding spots
- Produces up to 45 lb of clear ice daily
- Ice scoop and insulated storage bin included
Performance notes
Ice forms in sheets inside the unit and is broken into 7/8 inch cubes, with the adjustable bin holding up to 25 lb at a time even though total daily production reaches 45 lb. NSF listing and ENERGY STAR certification for commercial use back its rating for professional settings, and the front-breathing cooling system lets it sit flush in a cabinet since heat vents out the front rather than the sides.
