EXNOS ZB-001H 2-Inch Ice Ball Maker, 4 Spheres per 35-Minute Cycle

For whiskey drinkers who want round ice in their glass, the EXNOS ZB-001H makes 2-inch ice spheres with a dedicated countertop ice maker. Its spherical format gives cocktails and spirits a distinctive presentation.

A steady supply can also help when serving several drinks. The maker produces four spheres per average 35-minute cycle and can make up to 144 per day.

If you mainly need everyday cubes, a standard ice maker serves a different purpose. This model focuses on spherical ice for whiskey and cocktails, with manual or connected water supply to suit your routine.

Everyday use

Use the EXNOS to prepare round ice for whiskey pours, cocktails, or other cold drinks. The 2-inch sphere format creates a consistent look across servings, while the stated daily output is useful when you want more than a few pieces ready for a gathering. Production runs in batches of four, so you can plan around the average cycle time rather than relying on a single large batch.

Choose between manual water filling and automatic supply by connecting a water pipe. The 1.6-liter tank supports the manual-fill setup, while the connected option is designed for hands-free water supply during continued use. A low-water alert helps you know when water needs attention. The LED touch panel also displays ice-making progress and water and basket status, making it easier to check operation at a glance.

Getting the most from it

Set the maker up where its 18"D x 12"W x 18"H footprint fits comfortably, then select the water-supply method that works for your serving routine. For occasional drinks, manual filling keeps operation straightforward. For longer periods of use, connecting a water pipe enables automatic water supply. The ice-full alert helps you track basket capacity, and the one-touch self-cleaning function offers a convenient way to handle routine cleaning.

This is a focused alternative to buying a general-purpose ice maker when the shape of the ice matters. The maker is built around 2-inch spheres for whiskey and cocktails, rather than a mix of shapes or standard cubes. Its combination of batch production, status alerts, and flexible water supply makes it practical for preparing ice ahead of a tasting or keeping drinks available during a get-together.
