Overview
The Summit BIM182IF is an 18 inch wide clear ice maker rated for up to 60 lb of ice production a day, with a panel-ready stainless steel front for a built-in look, though the decorative panel itself is sold separately.
An internal pump and automatic defrost cycle are built in, and the unit ships with a drain hose, water hose, removable ice bucket, and scoop. UV lighting inside helps with visibility and the control panel lets you pick between small, medium, or large clear cubes. Cabinet height can be adjusted from about 32.5 to 34.75 inches to fit different counter heights.
- Up to 60 lb of clear ice per day
- Panel-ready stainless steel front (panel not included)
- UV interior lighting
- Automatic defrost with internal pump and included hose kit
Who it's for
This suits a kitchen or bar setup that wants a dedicated ice maker built into cabinetry or used freestanding, where clear cubes and a finished stainless look matter. It won't suit anyone expecting the decorative overlay panel to be included in the box.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Up to 60 lb of clear ice production daily
- Panel-ready front for a built-in, custom look
- Selectable small, medium, or large cube size
- Automatic defrost with an internal pump
- Decorative overlay panel is not included
- No rating or review data available yet
- Front-breathing design still needs some airflow clearance
Performance notes
The internal pump recirculates water during freezing, which is what produces clear rather than cloudy cubes, and the automatic defrost cycle handles maintenance without user intervention. Cube size, small, medium, or large, is selectable from the control panel rather than fixed. The front-breathing design means it can sit flush under a counter without needing side or rear venting clearance.
