Quyndor’s CX-33 countertop ice maker delivers a specific kind of freedom. It’s for the person who needs a steady supply of ice without a dedicated water line or a full freezer drawer. This unit prioritizes speed and placement flexibility over massive, long-term storage.

It produces its first batch of nine bullet-shaped cubes in about seven minutes. The 1.3-liter storage bin holds roughly two pounds of ice at a time, which is perfect for topping up a cooler or serving drinks at a gathering. The compact, 14.7-pound design lets you move it from a kitchen counter to a patio table without fuss. The self-cleaning function is a practical touch for maintenance.

This is a supplemental ice source. You’ll want to use the ice it makes, as it will begin to melt and clump together if left in the bin for extended periods. For its intended role—quick ice on demand for small groups—it performs reliably and quietly.
