KMFurnila Countertop Ice Maker, 26 lb Daily Capacity

Where it shines

Running out of ice mid-gathering—or waiting for trays to freeze—can make serving cold drinks a hassle. This KMFurnila countertop ice maker is designed to produce nine bullet-shaped cubes in about 6–8 minutes, with a stated daily output of up to 26 lb. That makes it useful for topping up drinks as you go, rather than relying only on a freezer tray or a large bag of ice.

For a casual get-together, you could make a batch while setting out glasses, then use the included scoop to serve. The built-in basket holds up to 0.9 lb, though, so it’s a countertop batch maker, not a large ice-storage solution. If you prioritize having ice ready in smaller batches, its compact footprint and carry handle are appealing, if you prefer keeping a large reserve on hand, a bigger storage setup may suit you better.

Quick overview

The machine measures 11.1 in. L × 8.9 in. W × 11.8 in. H, so it’s intended to sit on a counter and can be moved between spaces using its built-in handle. The product description names home, office, RV, and boat use. It does not provide a product weight, so the handle signals portability, but how easy it is to carry will depend on your setup.

You can choose small 0.75-inch or large 0.94-inch bullet ice. Smaller cubes are described as cooling drinks quickly, larger ones are intended for slower-melting drinks such as cocktails and iced coffee. The touch panel and infrared sensors alert you when water is low or the basket is full, which can reduce the need to keep checking during use. The maker also lists operation under 55 dB, that figure is according to the maker, with no further testing details provided.

Cleaning & care

A one-touch self-cleaning cycle is included. The description says to hold the control for five seconds to start the cycle, which runs for 30 minutes. That offers a straightforward way to handle routine cleaning, but it doesn’t explain whether any additional cleaning steps are needed or how often to perform them. If you want detailed care instructions before buying, those aren’t included in the product information provided here.

The basket’s 0.9-lb limit is also worth factoring into upkeep and everyday use: you’ll need to serve or move ice out as you make more, rather than expecting a deep supply to stay stored in the machine. The included scoop helps with serving, but the description doesn’t specify a separate storage container.

When it makes sense

Worth considering if you want a compact way to make bullet ice for drinks at home or to move between a kitchen and an RV. The two cube sizes give you some flexibility for quick chilling or drinks where slower-melting ice is preferred, and the low-water and full-basket alerts make the process less hands-on.

It may not suit you if you need a large batch ready at once or want substantial built-in storage: the basket holds only 0.9 lb, even though the stated daily output is higher. This is best approached as an on-demand countertop appliance, not a replacement for a high-capacity freezer supply. If that tradeoff fits how you serve drinks, its compact dimensions, included scoop, and self-cleaning cycle address practical everyday needs, if uninterrupted bulk ice matters more, look for a solution centered on storage capacity.
