- How fast does it make ice?
- A cycle takes about 7 minutes and drops roughly 7 to 9 cubes, depending on the small or large setting. Output slows as the bin fills and the machine cycles.
- Does it need a water line?
- No. It runs from a refillable reservoir, so you fill it by hand and plug it into a standard outlet. A drain plug is included for emptying it.
- How much ice does the bin hold?
- About 1.5 pounds. That is enough for a few drinks, so plan to scoop ice into a cooler or freezer during a party.
- Can I choose the cube size?
- Yes. The digital panel has small and large settings, which also change cycle time slightly.
- Is it good for a home bar?
- It fits a counter and makes fresh cubes on demand, which suits home bars. For steady all-day ice, a freezer or plumbed machine holds more.
- How do I clean it?
- It has an automatic self-cleaning cycle. Run it with water and drain through the plug, then wipe the reservoir and bin.
