Overview
ZAFRO's countertop ice maker turns out 9 bullet-shaped cubes every 6 minutes and up to 26.5 lbs in 24 hours, with a choice of small or large cubes, a self-cleaning cycle and two carry handles, one on the machine and one on the ice basket.
Buyers moving off a broken fridge ice maker or furnishing a bar cart make up much of the audience here. Setup is fill, plug in and start, and the double-handle design makes lifting the basket out for serving easier than on single-handle competitors. As with other compressor-driven cylinder ice makers, the cubes are not held below freezing, so at least one reviewer found them melting faster than fridge-made ice.
- Up to 26.5 lbs of ice per 24 hours
- 9 bullet cubes every 6 minutes
- Small or large cube selection
- Dual handles on machine and basket
Who it's for
Anyone wanting portable ice for parties, a home bar, an RV or a kitchen with a failed built-in maker. Less suited to buyers who need cubes to stay solid for a long stretch without refrigeration.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners like the fast cycle time, quiet operation and the convenience of external scoop storage, with several calling it a reliable daily replacement for a broken fridge ice maker. The main complaint is that cubes melt faster than freezer ice since the unit does not hold sub-freezing temperature, and one buyer found overfilling the tank led to thinner, floating cubes.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Two carry handles for the unit and basket
- Cycles ice in about 6 minutes
- Runs quietly enough for most kitchens
- External scoop storage is exposed rather than enclosed
- Ice melts faster than freezer-made cubes if not used promptly
- Overfilling the tank can produce floating, thinner cubes
Performance notes
The machine cycles water into 9 bullet cubes roughly every 6 minutes, running continuously until the basket fills, and a self-cleaning setting flushes the internal tank between uses. Filling the water tank too full can cause smaller cubes to float rather than form fully, according to one reviewer, so following the fill line matters.

Does it come with a scoop?
