Crzoe Countertop Ice Maker, 1.2L

If you want ice on hand without giving up freezer space, a countertop maker offers a different kind of convenience than filling trays or keeping bags of ice around. The Crzoe makes bullet-shaped cubes in two sizes, with a stated output of up to 26 pounds in 24 hours and batches of eight ready in 6–12 minutes. Its water reservoir holds 1.2 liters, while the basket holds up to 1.3 pounds of ice. That makes it useful for drinks and small gatherings, but the basket is not designed to store a large supply indefinitely.

Technical details

This portable ice maker measures 8.66 x 10.39 x 11.22 inches and weighs 11.77 pounds. A handle makes it easier to move between suitable countertop locations, and the included basket and scoop have dedicated storage features: the scoop attaches to the basket. The machine produces bullet-shaped ice in small or large sizes, giving you a choice for different drinks and chilling tasks. The maker also lists operation below 40 dB, though actual sound can depend on the room and surroundings.

The advertised daily output is a production figure, not the amount you can keep in the basket at once. Since the basket holds up to 1.3 pounds, you may need to transfer ice elsewhere if you want to build a larger reserve. That distinction matters if you’re comparing a compact countertop machine with freezer storage or bulk ice.

Getting the most from it

Use the small cubes for drinks such as coffee, tea, or juice, and choose the large size for whiskey or chilling food, as described by the maker. For a get-together, you could start a batch before guests arrive, then move finished cubes out of the basket to make room for the next round. The machine’s stated cycle time means it makes ice in batches rather than producing a full day’s supply at once.

The self-cleaning mode is activated by holding the on/off button for more than five seconds. It reduces the need to clean each interior corner by hand, but it doesn’t remove the need to follow the maker’s care instructions. A solid pick if you want a small appliance for regular drinks and occasional entertaining without relying on ice trays. It might not be a great match if you need a large built-in reserve or want to store all the ice it makes in its own basket.

Usage tips

Give the unit a stable countertop spot near where you’ll serve drinks, and leave yourself room to lift out the basket and scoop. Choose the cube size for the job rather than expecting one format to suit every glass. When ice is ready, transfer what you won’t use right away to your freezer, the stated 1.3-pound basket capacity is limited, and production continuing over a day does not mean the machine stores that full output. Run the automatic cleaning mode as directed, then keep the scoop with its holder so it’s easier to find next time.

Before you decide

How much water does it hold? The reservoir capacity is 1.2 liters.

How many cube sizes are available? It makes bullet-shaped ice in small and large sizes.

How do you start self-cleaning? Hold the on/off button for more than five seconds to activate the mode.

Is it worth it?

This Crzoe is best judged as a convenient batch maker, not a replacement for a freezer that can hold a large stock of ice. Its compact dimensions, two cube sizes, scoop storage, and self-cleaning function suit a kitchen that needs fresh ice for everyday drinks or a small gathering. The tradeoff is the modest basket capacity: you’ll need to move finished ice elsewhere when making more than you can use at once. Choose it if countertop access and on-demand batches matter more than built-in storage, look for a higher-capacity storage approach if you regularly need a large supply ready at the same time.
