Portable countertop ice maker

Running out of ice in the middle of a party or a hot afternoon is an easy problem to avoid. Alveko built this portable ice maker to churn out fresh ice in minutes, right on your counter, without waiting on a freezer's ice tray. It's the kind of small appliance that earns its spot on the counter fast.

It produces 6 bullet-shaped ice cubes in about 9 minutes, and a single 1.5-liter tank of water can generate up to 24 lbs of ice within 26.5 hours. You can choose between two ice sizes, smaller cubes for keeping drinks or seafood cold, and larger ones for iced coffee or cocktails that need a slower melt. A self-cleaning cycle keeps it running smoothly with just a long press of the power button, and the transparent window lets you watch the ice form. At 15.4 lbs with a built-in handle, it's easy to move between the kitchen, patio, or RV whenever you need it.

Keep it on the counter for parties, set it up on the patio for summer cookouts, or bring it along in an RV or camper where freezer space is limited. It's also a handy backup for offices or bars that go through ice fast. Plug it in before your next gathering and skip the ice runs.
