EKOJUCE countertop ice maker, 26 lbs/day

Two bullet-ice sizes and a first batch of 8 cubes in 6 minutes make this EKOJUCE countertop ice maker useful when you want ice without filling freezer trays ahead of time. It can produce up to 26 lbs of ice per day, but that figure is output capacity, not how much the basket holds at once. The 1 lb basket and 0.8L water tank set a more practical limit for serving, while the handle and 11.6 lb weight make it easier to move between a kitchen counter and an RV setup.

Highlights

The main draw is getting a small batch quickly: choose small or large bullet ice, then use it for iced coffee, soda, or cocktails. The control panel has “ADD WATER” and “ICE FULL” indicators, so you can see when it needs attention rather than guessing. A one-button cleaning cycle runs for 30 minutes, you start it by adding water and holding the ON/OFF button for 5 seconds.

The machine measures 11.8 x 9.4 x 12.2 inches and is designed for countertop use. It comes with an ice basket and scoop, and its stated operating noise is 45 dB. Keep in mind that the basket holds just 1 lb, so this is better for making and serving ice in batches than storing a large supply inside the machine.

How it fits

It makes sense if you want fresh ice for a few drinks at home, need a portable option for an RV or camping trip, or would rather run a countertop machine than plan ahead with freezer trays. For example, you could start a batch while making iced coffee, scoop what you need, and make another when the basket is ready for more. The handle, compact dimensions, and included scoop support that sort of move-and-serve use.

There is a trade-off compared with a larger ice maker or a freezer-based setup: the small basket means frequent serving or transfers if several people need ice. Its listed daily output may suit regular household drinks, but the product details don’t establish how quickly it can replenish ice during sustained, high-volume use. If your priority is keeping a large reserve ready, a machine with more storage—or a freezer with ice already on hand—may fit better.

Tips for day-to-day use

Add water before starting, select the bullet-ice size you want, and keep an eye on the indicator lights as the machine runs. The two sizes give you a simple way to choose ice for different drinks without changing machines. When cleaning is due, the stated cycle is automatic, but it still requires you to add water and start it manually. For camping or RV use, its portable design is a practical advantage, you’ll still need a suitable countertop or other stable place to operate it.

Before you decide

How much ice does the basket hold? The listed basket capacity is 1 lb, even though the machine’s stated daily output is up to 26 lbs.

What kind of ice does it make? It makes bullet ice in two sizes, with 8 cubes produced in 6 minutes according to the product details.

Is cleaning automatic? It has a 30-minute self-cleaning cycle, but you need to add water and hold the ON/OFF button for 5 seconds to start it.

Final verdict

You may want to skip it if you need a large amount of ice ready at once or want built-in storage beyond the 1 lb basket. For drinks at home, a small gathering, or portable use where batches are enough, the quick first cycle, two ice sizes, and carry handle make this a purposeful alternative to relying on freezer trays. Choose it for convenient batch-making, not as a substitute for bulk ice storage.
