Which makes ice faster?

Both are close. Euhomy lists a first batch in about 5 to 10 minutes, and Antarctic Star buyers report ice within minutes. Neither is a clear winner on speed.

Which holds more ice?

The Antarctic Star. Its 1.5L basket holds more ready ice than the Euhomy's 1.1 lb bin, so you empty it less often.

Is the Euhomy worth $21 more?

Only if quiet operation and ETL certification matter to you. At $169.99 at Target as of November 8, 2026, it costs more than the Antarctic Star's $148.82 at Amazon, and it held $109.99 on November 3.

Which is better for an RV?

The Euhomy. Its 12.21-inch width and 11-inch height fit tighter spaces, and Euhomy lists RV and camping as top uses.

Yes. The Antarctic Star has a self-cleaning function for its water lines, and the Euhomy runs a 15-minute self-clean cycle with a 3-second button press.

The Euhomy is rated at 45 dB. Antarctic Star buyers describe it as quiet but not silent, and no dB figure is given.
