The EUHOMY countertop ice maker is a portable, compressor-based machine designed for consistent daily use. Its housing is made of high-impact ABS polymer with a reinforced polypropylene interior liner, and it uses high-density cyclopentane foam for thermal insulation. This construction helps maintain ice for longer periods compared to basic models. The unit operates with R600a refrigerant, which is calibrated for energy efficiency and a fast 9-minute production cycle.
Specifications indicate that the machine can produce up to 26 lbs of ice in 24 hours. Helpful features include a reinforced handle for easy transport and a 5-minute auto-cleaning cycle that uses a recirculating pump to clear the water lines. To ensure the best performance from the start, it is recommended to let the unit sit upright and unplugged for 24 hours after delivery, allowing the refrigerant to settle before the first use.
The machine produces bullet-shaped ice that is ideal for a variety of drinks. While the insulated basket helps retain ice, it is important to remember that countertop units are not freezers; ice will slowly melt back into the reservoir to be reused in the next cycle. Placing the unit away from direct sunlight will also help the "Ice Full" sensors work most accurately.
If you need a machine that can crush this ice for specialized desserts once it's made, the Kazio Portable Electric Ice Grinder is a great companion tool.
