How much ice does it make in a day?

Avanti rates it at up to 26 lb per day. Real output depends on room temperature, water temperature and how often you empty the basket.

Does it need a water line?

No. You fill the reservoir by hand and drain it manually, so it works anywhere with a standard 120-volt outlet.

Bullet ice, the small cylindrical pieces with a soft, chewable texture.

Only briefly. The basket is small and not insulated, so ice melts if left sitting; move it to a freezer for longer storage.

Yes, if you have 120-volt power. Its size and lack of plumbing suit it to campers and small spaces.

Clean the reservoir and ice-making parts regularly, especially in hard-water areas, to keep ice clear and the machine running well.
