Silonn Countertop Ice Maker: 9 Bullet Ice in 6 Minutes, 12 kg Daily
Reviews
Product description
What it is
The Silonn Countertop Ice Maker is a compact appliance designed to deliver quick, on-demand ice for homes, offices, bars or parties. It produces 9 bullet-shaped ice cubes in about 6 minutes and can generate up to 12 kg of ice per day. It comes with a 1.2 L water tank and a 0.6 kg ice basket to support continuous use, making it a practical addition to spaces where a steady ice supply is convenient.
How it helps you
If you frequently entertain or enjoy chilled drinks without waiting for a freezer tray, this machine offers a fast solution. The two ice sizes—small and large—allow you to tailor cooling for different beverages, from beers and cocktails to iced coffee. The transparent lid lets you monitor production, while automatic sensors stop ice production when the basket is full, reducing mess and waste.
What stands out in use
In terms of portability, the unit measures 22 x 29 x 29 cm and weighs around 6 kg, with a sturdy handle that makes it easier to move between kitchen counter, office or outdoor setup. The operating noise is listed as under 35 dB, which is quieter than many refrigerators and thus less intrusive during meals or meetings.
What may not convince everyone
For heavy, round-the-clock ice needs, the daily capacity of 12 kg might feel limiting if the space is hosting a large event for many hours. The ice basket capacity is 0.6 kg, so you may need to refill the water tank and empty the basket more frequently than a commercial machine. If you prioritise ultra-fast production or larger daily output, this model sits more in the home-to-small-office range.
Who it’s for
It suits small households, weekend homes, compact offices, small bars or portable entertainment spaces where space is at a premium and a quiet, self-contained ice solution is valued. It’s handy for people who want different ice sizes for different drinks or for someone who appreciates a self-cleaning feature to reduce maintenance.
When it makes sense to buy
Consider this if you want a self-contained, low-maintenance ice maker that plugs in for occasional or regular use without committing to a built-in fridge. It’s a sensible choice for people who value portability, space efficiency, and the flexibility of two ice sizes without needing a larger, commercial-grade unit.
What to check before you buy
- Confirm you have adequate counter space and access to a power supply suitable for a countertop appliance.
- Consider whether the 12 kg daily capacity aligns with your typical hosting needs, for very large gatherings, you may prefer a higher-capacity solution.
- Factor in maintenance: the self-cleaning feature helps, but you’ll still want to periodically descale and rinse to keep ice quality consistent.
Practical considerations and alternatives
If you don’t require two ice sizes, or you regularly entertain large parties, you might compare with larger, higher-capacity models or traditional freezers with ice makers. For light to moderate use, the Silonn unit offers a balance of convenience, quiet operation and mobility without heavy setup.
The decision in brief
Should you buy it?
Worth considering if you want a compact, quiet, self-cleaning ice maker that can supply two ice sizes for everyday use or small gatherings. It may not be the best fit if you need very high daily output or continuous, high-volume ice production for long events. A practical choice for flexible spaces where a dedicated ice source is handy.
