How much ice does it make per day?

Sugift rates it at 26 lb per day. Real output depends on room temperature and the thickness setting, so expect less in a warm kitchen.

What do the 11 thickness levels do?

They set how long each batch freezes. Thinner settings give faster, softer ice; thicker settings give denser cubes that melt more slowly.

No. It is a countertop unit with a refillable water reservoir, so you fill it by hand and plug it into a standard outlet.

It is the only new price listed as of November 7, 2026, at Lowe's. Comparable 26-lb countertop makers often sell for less, so compare before buying.

The bin is small and holds only a batch or two. For a party, plan to empty it into a cooler or freezer as it fills.

The timer lets you schedule when the machine runs, so you can have fresh ice ready at a set time instead of running it all day.
