The Newair Bullet Ice Machine produces 28 lbs of ice per day and features a high-gloss, UV-resistant red finish. Its 9-prong nickel-plated copper evaporator rods facilitate a fast cycle time, with the first harvest typically occurring within 7 to 9 minutes. The outer shell is made of 2.5mm ABS polymer, and the internal ice bucket is food-grade polypropylene. As this is an uninsulated maker rather than a freezer, ice will eventually melt and return to the reservoir if it is not moved to a cold storage area.
Specifications indicate the unit uses a 15W synchronous drive motor. To prevent mechanical strain, it is important to ensure ice is cleared and does not jam the pusher arms. The infrared bin-full sensors require weekly cleaning to prevent condensation or mineral scale from causing production errors. The unit weighs under 20 lbs, making it a viable option for RV or office duty, though the compressor noise is audible in quiet environments at levels exceeding 45dB.
Maintenance & Operation
- Weekly cleaning of IR ports helps maintain consistent production logic.
- BPA-free reservoir materials are used for the internal water system.
- High-gloss red finish provides a distinct aesthetic for kitchen counters.
For a unit that produces clear, slower-melting gourmet ice cubes instead of bullet ice, the Maxx Ice built-in ice maker is a premium alternative.
