Silonn DWW01 Countertop Ice Maker, Two Bullet Ice Sizes, Self-Cleaning

At 12.3" x 8.7" x 12.6", the Silonn DWW01 is a compact countertop ice maker designed to add on-demand ice without relying on a built-in freezer dispenser. Its listed capacity is up to 26 pounds of ice per day.

It makes nine bullet-shaped cubes in about six minutes and offers a choice of two ice sizes. That gives you some flexibility for everyday drinks or serving guests, rather than one fixed cube size.

The machine includes an ice basket and scoop, plus a self-cleaning function. One important distinction: the basket is for collecting ice temporarily, not keeping it frozen for long-term storage.

At a glance

The DWW01 has a 2L water tank, a control panel for starting production and choosing a size, and indicator lights for low water and a full basket. A transparent lid lets you see the ice as it collects, while a sensor stops production when the basket is full. The listed dimensions make it a countertop appliance to consider for a kitchen, office, bar area, or party setup where a separate ice supply is useful.

The two bullet-ice options serve different purposes. The smaller pieces are intended for quickly chilling drinks or seafood, the larger pieces are suited to cocktails and beverages where slower melting is preferred. That choice is a practical advantage over a basic ice tray, which offers no control over size or timing, though the machine does need water and countertop space while running.

Everyday use

For a gathering, you can start making ice ahead of time and move finished batches to sealed bags in the freezer. The supplied basket makes collection straightforward, but it is not a substitute for a freezer bin. If you want ice available for an extended period, transfer it rather than leaving it in the machine.

The maker is described as having a low-noise design, and its compact format may suit a shared kitchen or work area. It’s a great fit if you want fresh batches without filling and freezing trays in advance. It may not suit you if you expect the appliance itself to store ice frozen for later, the manufacturer says the basket is only for temporary collection.

Usage tips

Use the controls to add water, start the machine, and select the preferred cube size. Keep an eye on the indicator lights so you can respond when water is low or the basket is full. For hosting, begin production early and transfer batches to the freezer as they are ready, leaving room for new cubes to drop into the basket.

The self-cleaning cycle starts by holding the ON/OFF control for five seconds. The supplied care guidance recommends regular cleaning, emptying residual water before storage, and letting the interior dry fully. It also recommends bottled water rather than filtered water. During startup, the first batches may be smaller or thinner, the manufacturer notes that cube size can increase as the unit and water cool.

Questions before you buy

Does the ice stay frozen in the basket? No. The basket collects ice but does not keep it frozen long-term. Move ice to a freezer if you need to store it.

Can I choose the ice size? Yes. The machine makes two bullet-ice sizes, selectable from the control panel.

What comes in the box? The listed components are the stand-alone ice maker, an ice basket, and an ice scoop.

When it makes sense

This model makes sense when you want countertop ice in batches, with a choice of sizes and a stated output of up to 26 pounds per day. It offers a more hands-off alternative to filling trays, especially when drinks are being served regularly or several people need ice. The main trade-off is that production and storage are separate: plan to transfer batches to a freezer if you need to keep them frozen. For occasional use, consider whether a tray-based approach already meets your needs, the DWW01 is more relevant when making fresh ice on demand is the priority.
