Klarstein Caldwell Ice Maker, 12 kg/24 h, Two Bullet Sizes, Touch Control

For households that want ice ready for drinks at home or when friends come over, the Klarstein Caldwell makes bullet-shaped cubes on the countertop. Choose a small or large size using the touch controls, then let the machine produce up to 9 cubes in a 6- or 12-minute cycle. Its stated output is up to 12 kg in 24 hours, giving you a practical way to keep fresh ice coming during a gathering.

The 1.3-litre water tank and clear lid make the process easy to follow: you can see the cubes forming and check the water level at a glance.

Benefits

Having an ice maker on hand means you can prepare cubes as drinks are needed, rather than relying only on a supply bought in advance. The Caldwell’s two bullet sizes let you choose the format that suits the occasion, while touch control keeps selection straightforward. Its countertop design is intended for home use, and the white finish and transparent lid make it a considered addition to a kitchen or serving area.

LED indicators help with everyday operation. A light signals when the water tank needs a refill, and an alarm lets you know when the ice tray is full. That makes it easier to keep the machine running as you host, without having to keep checking its status. Buyers have also highlighted reliability and performance in their feedback, these are reported impressions rather than a measure of results in every home.

Key takeaways

The Caldwell produces 9 bullet ice cubes per cycle, with a cycle taking 6 or 12 minutes, and has a stated daily output of up to 12 kg. Its 1.3-litre tank supplies the water, while the collection tray holds up to 600 g of ice. These details help you judge how it could fit into your routine, from making a few rounds of cold drinks to preparing ice for a get-together.

The machine weighs 6.2 kg, so it can be moved between suitable countertop spaces when needed. For a barbecue or garden gathering, you can set it up near the area where drinks are served and use the transparent lid to keep an eye on production. As with other countertop ice makers, it offers an on-demand alternative to storing bags of ice: that suits occasions when you want to make ice as you go.

Getting the most from it

Fill the tank with water, select small or large bullet ice, and start the machine from its touch controls. The indicators provide a simple prompt to refill the tank or collect ice when the tray is full. The removable collection basket makes it easier to transfer the cubes for serving, and the housing is described as easy to clean. Keeping it close to your drinks area can make each batch convenient to collect and use.

When it makes sense

It’s a good fit if you want a dedicated source of ice for everyday cold drinks, visiting friends or small gatherings, without making advance storage the only part of your plan. The two cube sizes, visible production and status alerts support a simple countertop routine, while the 12 kg/24-hour output gives you a clear reference when deciding whether its capacity suits the way you entertain. Choose the Klarstein Caldwell for flexible, freshly made bullet ice at home, with controls and indicators designed to make serving easier.
