Best EUHOMY Ice Makers of 2026

Where the nugget maker produces ice you chew, this one makes ice you look at: clear, square, individually frozen cubes, 24 at a time, every 10 to 20 minutes, up to 45 pounds a day. You can dial the thickness too — thin for iced coffee and soda, thicker for a whiskey glass — which is more control than most countertop machines give you.

We think it's the right countertop pick if your ice goes into pitchers and coolers rather than a tumbler you crunch through. Clear cubes melt slowly and stay separate in the basket, where bullet ice fuses into a block. And it fills either by hand from a pitcher or from a water bottle with a neck under two inches, so there's no plumbing, no drain, and no cut into the counter.

The rest is housekeeping. One-touch self-cleaning, an eight-hour timer for setting a batch before guests arrive, a basket that lifts out, and 45 dB on the label. It's 21.7 pounds and 14.6 inches tall — short enough to sit under a wall cabinet, heavy enough that you'll want it where you plan to keep it.

This one asks a question before you buy it: is there a water line and a drain where you want the ice? It's plumbed — 15 inches wide, 31 inches tall, stainless, ETL listed — and the drain has to sit below the machine's outlet so water leaves by gravity. Beside a wet-bar sink it's a short afternoon; across the kitchen from both, it's a project.

What the plumbing buys you is volume. Forty-five clear cubes every 10 to 15 minutes, up to 100 pounds a day, into a 33-pound insulated bin, with a copper compressor and a curved window so you can watch a batch without opening the door. For a home bar, a garage, or a family that fills coolers on Saturday, that's the end of bagged ice.

Of the plumbed options here, this is the one we recommend first. It costs a good deal less than the other fifteen-inch unit, and what that one adds is cube-size choice rather than output. If you want a machine that keeps a household and its parties in ice, and you have somewhere to drain it, this is the sensible buy.

The app is the reason to choose this over the nugget maker we recommend by default, and on paper it's the more capable machine: 42 pounds a day against 35, first ice in seven minutes, and a scheduling screen that starts a batch without you getting up. It makes the same chewable pellet ice, soft enough to eat and cold enough to matter in a soda. We think it's the better buy for a gadget-minded household that goes through a lot of it.

Setup really is three steps — water, on, ice — and the self-clean cycle is a five-second hold on the power button, the kind of maintenance that actually gets done. At 8.8 inches wide and 19.3 pounds it fits where a bigger machine won't, and the scoop hangs on the body instead of disappearing into a drawer.

At 6.85 inches wide, this is the narrowest machine here — small enough for the strip of counter beside a coffee grinder or a shelf on a bar cart. It's 14.25 inches deep and 20.9 pounds, so it stays where you put it, and it makes two 2.4-inch spheres at a time, up to 48 a day, from a reservoir you fill by hand.

Sphere ice is a different purchase from cube ice. A 2.4-inch ball melts slowly enough that a bourbon doesn't turn into bourbon-flavored water in ten minutes, and it looks like something you were served rather than something chipped out of a tray. We think it earns its counter space for someone who drinks spirits regularly, and it's the wrong machine for a family filling coolers — 12 pounds a day is a fraction of what the cube makers produce.

Two conveniences make it livable: a one-to-eight-hour delay so the spheres are ready when you sit down, and a self-clean cycle you start from the panel. Clarity is the part that varies. The machine pulls air and impurities out, but it starts with what's in the reservoir, so filtered water is the difference between a crystal ball and a cloudy one.

This is the least expensive machine in Euhomy's lineup, and it's the one to look at when you want ice without giving up counter space or much money. It's 11.4 inches square, 13.6 pounds, makes nine bullet cubes in six minutes and up to 26 pounds a day, and it's ETL certified, which is worth confirming at this size.

The app and Alexa control are what lift it above the plain bullet machines around it: schedule a batch, check whether the basket is full, or ask a speaker to start it while your hands are busy. Ninety watts, a three-step setup, and a 45 dB rating round out a machine that reads calmer than its size suggests.

Bullet ice is the compromise — small, quick-melting cubes meant for the drink in your hand rather than for stocking a cooler. We think it's the right first ice maker, and the right second one for a guest room or a home office, because at this size you can put it where the ice gets used instead of where the freezer is.

Three cube sizes is the reason to look at this one. Thin cubes suit blended drinks and anything you want to crush, medium is the all-purpose setting for soda and iced coffee, and thick gives a cocktail a cube that chills without flooding it. It's the kind of control that separates a machine you live with from one you work around.

The measurements are where the planning happens: 14.96 inches wide, 20.39 deep, 33.58 tall. That depth is more than its width suggests, so measure the cabinet and not just the gap. Output is 40 cubes every 11 to 20 minutes and 90 pounds a day into a 24-pound bin, all of it drained by gravity, which means the drain has to sit below the outlet.

The panel is useful rather than decorative. Hold TIMER/CLEAN for five seconds and it cleans itself; set the 24-hour timer and the bin is full before dinner instead of the machine running through it. The LCD shows water and ice status so you aren't opening the door to check.

We recommend it over the other plumbed unit when cube size matters to you and you have the depth for it — it's the more refined machine for a home bar, and 24 pounds of storage is generous for a 15-inch footprint. If you only need volume, the 120-pound model gives you more ice for less money.

Two cubes at a time is the trade-off this machine makes, and it's worth understanding before you buy. What you get back is a 2-inch clear square — the kind that shows up in a good bar's old fashioned — with the air and minerals pulled out so it melts slowly and doesn't haze the drink. Twenty-two pounds a day is plenty for a bar cart and nowhere near enough for a party.

The control side is unusually good for an ice maker: a color display, an app, a 24-hour timer, and LED lighting inside so you can see what you're getting. Crystal Mode spends about 45 minutes on a pair for maximum clarity; the faster mode trades some of that for speed. It's stainless, 23 pounds, and 9.76 inches wide, narrow enough for a bar shelf.

Clear ice is a process, not a button. Directional freezing pushes bubbles and impurities out of the cube, which is why two cubes take 45 minutes rather than a tray arriving in ten — and why filtered water matters more here than anywhere else in this guide.

We think it's worth the money for someone building a bar where the ice is part of the drink, and a poor use of it for anyone who mostly wants cold drinks fast. The 15-minute self-clean cycle and the included tongs are the details that make it feel considered rather than improvised.
