Question 1

How much ice does it make in a day?

Accepted Answer

Up to about 27 lb a day, with a basket that holds roughly 26.5 lb. Output drops in hot rooms, as with any countertop maker.

Question 2

Does it need a water line?

Accepted Answer

No. You pour water into the reservoir by hand and refill it as the level drops. That is what keeps it portable.

Question 3

What kind of ice does it make?

Accepted Answer

Bullet-shaped ice: soft, cloudy and chewable, similar to the ice from a gas-station machine. It melts faster than hard freezer cubes.

Question 4

Will it fit under my kitchen cabinets?

Accepted Answer

At about 10.4 in high and 8.5 in wide it clears most standard under-cabinet gaps. Leave room around the vents so it can shed heat.

Question 5

Can I take it camping or in an RV?

Accepted Answer

It is portable and light enough to move, but it needs a standard outlet. It is better suited to an RV hookup or patio than to tent camping.

Question 6

How often do I need to empty it?

Accepted Answer

Empty the basket when it fills, and drain and dry the unit if you won't use it for a while. Bullet ice clumps if left sitting.
