A countertop ice maker that needs no plumbing. Pour 3.2 litres into the tank, press the button, and the first two dozen cubes arrive in about fifteen minutes. It makes three cube sizes, up to 20 kg over a day, and holds 1.2 kg in the insulated basket. Stainless body, clear lid so you can watch the tray fill, and a 30 minute self-clean. Scoop and basket included.
Free delivery to most of NSW, ACT, VIC, QLD, SA and WA; postcode confirmed at checkout. Return within 30 days in the original packaging for a full refund.
Stand it on a level bench with a hand's width of air around it, let it settle for a few hours if it has travelled on its side, then fill the tank to the line with fresh water and press the button. Run the first batch of ice into the sink, and it is ready to use.
Fill the tank by hand, press one button, and there is a basket of ice a quarter of an hour later.
It sits on the bench like a kettle and needs nothing but a power point and a jug of water. The tank takes 3.2 litres, the first cycle drops 24 cubes in about fifteen minutes, and it will keep going to 20 kg over a full day. Three cube sizes come off the same tray: thin ones that chill a platter of prawns or a tub of beer fast, thicker ones that last in a glass.
The body is stainless steel and the lid is clear, so you can see the tray without opening anything. Indicator lights tell you when the water is low and when the basket is full, and holding the power button for five seconds starts a 30 minute self-clean. A scoop and the basket come with it, and at 10 kg it stores easily between summers.
What this usually leaves the warehouse with.

Water goes in the top, the tray drops 24 cubes about a quarter of an hour later, and the machine keeps cycling until the basket is full or the tank runs dry. Over a full day that adds up to 20 kg, which is more than a summer party gets through. Pick the thin cubes for chilling something quickly and the thick ones for a glass that has to last.

There is no water line and no drain. You fill the 3.2 litre tank from a jug and empty it when you are done, which means the machine can live on the kitchen bench in December and in the shed the rest of the year. It runs at 42 dB or less, about what the fridge does, so it is not a machine you have to leave the room to escape.

The lid is transparent, so a glance tells you whether the tray is still filling. Lights come on when the water is low and when the basket is full. Hold the power button for five seconds and it runs a 30 minute self-clean, which is the part people skip on machines that make you take them apart. The stainless body wipes down in seconds.
Cycle times are the manufacturer's figures and depend on the cube size you choose and how warm the room is.
One model, one finish. The scoop and the basket are in the carton, and nothing else is needed but a power point.

Nothing to assemble. Let it stand upright for a few hours before the first run if it has travelled on its side, then fill and switch on.
No. You fill the 3.2 litre tank by hand and tip the leftover water out when you have finished. All it needs is a power point and a level bench with a little air around it. That is why it suits a kitchen in summer, a shed, a caravan annexe or the table at the back of a hall.
The basket is insulated rather than refrigerated, so ice made this morning will slowly soften by tonight. The machine keeps cycling to top the basket up and lights up when it is full. For a party, run it ahead of time and move each basketful to the freezer or the esky as it fills.
42 dB or less while it is making ice, which the manufacturer compares to a running fridge. You hear the pump and then the cubes dropping into the basket. It is quiet enough for a kitchen you are sitting in, though not something you would want beside your pillow overnight.
Empty the basket and the tank, then hold the power button for five seconds to start the 30 minute self-clean cycle. Wipe the stainless body and the clear lid with a damp cloth afterwards. Do this every few weeks in regular use, and always before it goes away for the winter.
Thin cubes have more surface for their size, so they chill a platter of seafood or a tub of drinks quickly. The larger ones melt more slowly, which is what you want in a glass of something you intend to sit with. The size button switches between them between cycles.
