The Antarctic Star is a countertop ice maker rated at up to 26 lb of ice per day, with a 3.3 L removable water tank you can refill or carry to the sink. It is a compact, narrow unit, so it fits on a counter or bar cart where a full-size ice maker will not. It suits renters, small kitchens, home bars and party hosts who want bullet ice without plumbing. Against rivals, the removable tank and the higher daily output set it apart from basic 9-cube models, but it stores only a modest batch of ice and makes soft, slow-melting bullet cubes.

Owners of this class of countertop ice maker generally find it convenient for small kitchens and parties, and the removable tank is a common point of praise. Complaints tend to focus on melt speed, small batch size and cleaning.
The Antarctic Star countertop ice machine makes ice and dispenses water in one compact unit. It produces up to 26 pounds of bullet ice per day, and the first batch is ready in about 6 minutes. It makes ice in two sizes.
A 3.3-liter water tank holds the water supply. The tank is removable, which makes it easier to refill and clean. A touch panel controls ice size, start and stop, and water dispensing.
Ice dispenses at the press of a button directly into a glass, so no scooping is needed. The unit is designed to run quietly and fit on a counter in a kitchen, home bar, office, RV or dorm.
