How much ice does it make per day?

Antarctic Star rates it at 26 lb of ice per day. Real output depends on room temperature and how often you empty the basket.

Does it need a water line?

No. It is a portable countertop unit, so you fill the reservoir by hand and empty it yourself.

Is $94.99 a good price?

That is the best new price, at Lowe's as of November 7, 2026, and it is low for a countertop ice maker. Only one store lists it new, so there is little to compare against.

How big is the ice basket?

Countertop makers in this class hold a small basket, so expect to empty it often during heavy use. Check the listing for the exact capacity.

It suits renters, RV owners and small kitchens that want ice without a plumbed appliance. A household making ice daily for a family may want a larger machine.

4.2 / 510 ratings

Reception is limited: 4.2 out of 5 from just 10 ratings. Buyers generally find it does the basic job of making ice without plumbing, but the small sample makes it hard to judge long-term reliability.
