The countertop style portable electric ice maker by Ikich (MRKCCP173AHUS-USAS6) has a 26 lb. daily ice making capacity and that can get your ice cubes ready within 6 minutes. It has a modern design and an LED Display with On/Off and Select buttons and Add Water, Ice Full, Power, S and L light indicators. It is a brand new release product that is rated 5 out of 5 stars by 3 customers.

You can use the ice it makes for your cold beverages, food and emergency first aid ice. The water reservoir has a 2 liter or 68 oz. capacity and comes with an ice scoop. You’ll get 9 bullet shaped ice cubes at each cycle that are tasty and chewable as long as you use filtered or pure water. Your first two or three cycles may not be as good as you expect, then it will get better. The compressor needs to preheat just like a regular fridge compressor.

You can select from small or large sizes for your needs and the ice won’t melt very easily or stick to each other. It is well insulated with the very dense polyurethane foam layer. The transparent window lets you see the ice making process easily. With the detachable ice basket and the scoop you can transfer your ice to the fridge freezer for later use or straight into your drink. There is no need for plumbing and you can easily fill it with water and clean it once you’re done. It doesn’t need to be connected to a water line and so can be used anywhere there is a power outlet.

You can empty the water you didn’t use with the plug at the bottom. It doesn’t need much in terms of installation as a simple plug and play type of unit.
