The HealSmart Ice Maker is a 15.6 lb unit designed for portability in RVs and camping setups, drawing approximately 120W during operation. It uses an R600a isobutane refrigerant to produce batches of nine cubes in 6 to 8 minutes. The interior features an EPS high-density foam insulation layer that maintains ice integrity for about 2 hours. Because the basket is not refrigerated, any ice not harvested will eventually melt and return to the water reservoir to be recycled into new ice.
Specifications indicate the water pump is a sensitive component that performs best with filtered water to avoid debris. While the unit features a self-cleaning mode, it is a rinse-only cycle; manual intervention with citric acid is recommended for homes with hard water to prevent mineral scaling on the nickel-plated copper molds. The infrared "Ice Full" sensors are most accurate when used indoors, as high-UV or direct sunlight environments can interfere with their ability to detect the ice level correctly.
Performance Specifications
- Lightweight 15.6 lb dry weight is ideal for mobile electrical circuits.
- Produces first harvest in under 8 minutes on the small setting.
- Noise levels peak at 45dB, quieter than many traditional induction models.
For a unit with similar performance that includes a specific matte black finish and localized support, the Olixis portable ice machine is a comparable alternative.
