Our take on the Magic Chef 27-Lb. Portable Countertop Ice Maker

The Magic Chef 27-Lb. Portable Countertop Ice Maker is a manual-fill countertop machine that makes up to 27 lbs of bullet-style cubes a day and holds 1.5 lbs in its bin. It runs on a standard 120V outlet at 95W, has a stainless steel body, a digital control panel and two cube sizes, with a first batch in as little as 7 minutes. At $57.99 at eBay as of November 8, 2026, it sits well below what most countertop ice makers cost. It is a plug-in appliance for a kitchen counter or patio table, not a plumbed-in unit.
