Avanti’s countertop ice maker is built for one job: producing a lot of ice, fast. It’s a straightforward appliance that prioritizes speed and volume over bells and whistles. For a home bar, a small office, or a weekend gathering, its purpose is immediately clear.

It creates a batch of bullet-shaped ice in about six minutes. Over 24 hours, that adds up to 26 pounds. The digital touch controls are simple, and the self-cleaning function is a practical feature for maintenance. At 105 watts, it’s efficient enough to run without worrying about a huge spike in your energy bill.

The portable design is genuinely useful. You can move it from the kitchen to the patio without much effort. Just know it’s an ice maker only—it doesn’t store ice, so you’ll need to use the included scoop and transfer cubes to a freezer bin if you want them to last. For consistent, on-demand ice, it delivers.
