How fast does it make ice?

The first cubes can drop in as little as 7 minutes, and it keeps cycling while the bin has room.

Does it need a water line?

No. You fill the reservoir by hand, and an integrated drain cap empties it.

The bin holds about 1.5 lbs at a time, so it is best for topping off drinks rather than stocking a cooler.

It makes cube-shaped ice in two sizes, small and large, selected on the digital panel.

At $89 at Best Buy as of November 6, 2026, it is at the low end of its recent range across the four stores that list it new.

It is portable and often used on patio tables, but it is not weatherproof, so bring it inside when not in use.
