Our take on the Cowsar 26.5 lbs Portable Countertop Ice Maker

The Cowsar Portable Countertop Ice Maker is a freestanding home unit rated at 27 lb of ice per day, close to the 26.5 lb in its name. It needs no plumbing: you fill a reservoir, and it makes bullet-style ice in batches within minutes. It suits small kitchens, dorms and parties where a built-in ice maker is not an option. It is a budget-tier machine, so expect slower batch cycles and less insulation than premium countertop models.

Questions and answers

Is the Cowsar ice maker worth it?
For occasional use in a small kitchen or dorm, yes: it makes ice without plumbing at a low price. If you need a steady supply of hard, slow-melting ice every day, a freezer ice maker or a pricier countertop model holds up better.
How fast does it make ice?
Countertop makers in this class typically drop the first bullet ice in about 6 to 10 minutes and finish a batch in roughly 10 to 15 minutes. Output depends on room temperature and water temperature.
Does it need a water line?
No. You fill the built-in reservoir by hand and plug the unit into a standard outlet. You will refill the reservoir more often during heavy use.
How much ice can it hold at once?
Daily production is rated at 27 lb, but the storage basket holds only a small batch, roughly a pound or two. Ice left in the basket melts and cycles back into the reservoir.
What kind of ice does it make?
It makes bullet-shaped ice, the soft, rounded pieces common to portable countertop makers. They chill drinks fast but melt sooner than firm freezer cubes.
When is it cheapest?
Countertop ice makers usually drop in price outside summer, especially in fall and winter, and during Black Friday and Prime Day sales. Check the price history before buying in June or July.
