Our take on the COWSAR Countertop Ice Maker, 26 lbs Per Day

The COWSAR Countertop Ice Maker is a compact bullet-ice machine that makes up to 26 lbs a day and drops a batch every 6 minutes. It offers two bullet sizes, a 1.3 lb bin and a no-drain design, so it works on any counter without plumbing. It suits home bars, kitchens, offices and parties where bagged ice runs out. Against rivals like the Frigidaire and Igloo countertop makers, it is smaller and lighter but holds less ice and has no water filter or self-clean cycle. Owners like the fast first batch and easy setup; some say the bin fills quickly and the ice melts if left sitting.
