DUMOS targets a simple, common frustration: waiting for ice. Their countertop ice maker delivers its first batch in six minutes. That speed changes how you host a party or just make an afternoon drink.

You get nine bullet-shaped cubes from that initial cycle. The machine can produce about 26 pounds of ice in a day. The 1.5-liter water reservoir means you’re refilling it, not constantly plumbing it in. A clear window lets you watch the process, which is oddly satisfying. You can choose between two cube sizes—smaller ones for chilling a drink quickly, larger ones for slower melting in a whiskey glass.

It’s a straightforward appliance. The trade-off for its compact size and speed is that it’s a maker, not a freezer. The ice it produces will begin to melt if left in the basket for hours. For keeping a cooler stocked or serving a crowd, you’ll want to use the ice shortly after it’s made.
