Overview
A 15 inch wide drainless under counter ice maker with a 22 pound storage bin, built for kitchens or bars where running a drain line is not practical. It suits anyone replacing a built-in unit or adding a dedicated ice maker near a wet bar.
Because it needs only a water line and a standard outlet, it fits cabinet openings where a drain-required ice maker will not work. The reversible door and adjustable feet make it more forgiving of an imperfect cabinet opening than fixed-door units. One reviewer's early unit arrived faulty, so factor in occasional quality misses even though the outcome was resolved by the company.
- 22 pound ice storage bin
- Brushed stainless steel construction
- One-touch start, no settings to configure
- 14.9 x 18.6 x 33.8 inches
Who it's for
Suits homeowners retrofitting a built-in ice maker under an existing counter, plus anyone setting up a home bar or entertaining area who wants steady crescent ice without running a drain. Less useful for anyone needing a portable countertop unit or ice for outdoor use.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently mention quiet operation, quick installation with just a water line, and ice that stays solid rather than melting fast. One buyer's first unit had a bent fan bracket and loud noise, but noted the company worked with them to resolve it.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- No drain line required, only water and power
- Reversible door and adjustable feet for tight cabinet fits
- Slow-melting crescent ice reviewers call solid, not flimsy
- ETL certified with lifetime service support from COTLIN
- One reviewer's unit arrived with a bent fan bracket
- Under counter install still requires a water line hookup
Performance notes
The compressor keeps ice in the 26.6 to 32 F range and produces crescent-shaped cubes designed to melt slower than the nugget ice common in portable makers. Reviewers confirm the 22 pound bin fills overnight and that the unit runs quietly enough for a kitchen or bar setting.
