VEVOR Countertop Ice Makers: Nugget, Bullet, Clear Cube and Commercial

This VEVOR Countertop Ice Maker makes chewable nugget ice at up to 44 lbs in 24 hours, with the first batch ready in 7 to 10 minutes. Nugget ice is soft, porous and easy to chew, and it chills drinks quickly because of its high surface area. VEVOR pairs a 1.8 L main tank with a 1.4 L auxiliary tank, so you refill less often during a long session, and 4 lbs of ice storage sits in a pull-out drawer.

Touch controls handle one-touch ice making and self-cleaning, with a 12 to 15 minute cleaning cycle and indicators for “ice full” and “add water”. The listed noise level is 55 dB, and the unit weighs 23.8 pounds with a stainless steel exterior. It draws 192 watts. The listing’s model number field just repeats its dimensions, 9.45 x 13.78 x 14.76 inches, so no model code is given.

This is the pick for large groups who love nugget ice. It gives way to the 33 lb nugget model if space matters more than volume, and to the cube model if you want a quieter machine.

• 44 lbs of nugget ice per day, first batch in 7-10 minutes
• 1.8 L main tank plus 1.4 L auxiliary tank
• 4 lbs of storage in a drawer-style bin
• One-touch self-cleaning with 12-15 minute cycle

This VEVOR Countertop Ice Maker (model HZB-20AF/S) produces 24 cubes in about 15 minutes and up to 45 lbs of ice in 24 hours. It makes three cube sizes: thin cubes for chilling seafood and beer, and larger cubes for drinks. The listing calls them cubes and does not describe their shape in detail, so if you have your heart set on the bullet-style ice many portable machines make, confirm the shape from the product photos.

It has a 3.2 L water tank and a 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs) ice basket, a stainless steel body and a transparent lid for checking progress. Indicator lights warn when water is low or the basket is full, and there is a self-cleaning mode. VEVOR rates it below 42 dB, the quietest in this group, which matters if it sits near your streaming setup. It measures 10 x 14 x 15.2 inches, weighs 21.6 pounds and draws 100 watts. One inconsistency: the specifications list a capacity of 26 pounds, which does not match the 45 lbs per day claim.

Choose it for quiet rooms and everyday drinks. It gives way to the nugget models if chewable ice is the goal.

This VEVOR Countertop Ice Maker (model BS-303) is the compact nugget option, making up to 33 lbs per day with ice ready in 7 to 10 minutes. It has a 0.8 L water tank and 1.2 lbs of drawer storage, both much smaller than the 44 lb model. What it adds is dual water supply: fill it by hand or connect it directly to tap water with the included 1/4 inch water tube.

The self-cleaning cycle is listed at 5 minutes, shorter than the larger nugget model, and it has the same “ice full” and “add water” indicators. It runs at 55 dB, weighs 18.1 pounds and draws 105 watts. The box includes an ice scoop and a user manual. For more on this ice style, see our VEVOR nugget ice maker guide.

This model suits a smaller room or a setup near a water line. It gives way to the 44 lb model when you host bigger crowds.

Home bars and all-day tournament events

The VEVOR Commercial Ice Maker Machine (model LB70TA) is in a different league. It produces up to 80 lbs of ice per day and makes 32 cubes in 8 to 10 minutes. The cubes are 0.87 inch (22 mm) squares with a clear look, and you can adjust the freezing time to change thickness.

Storage tops out at 13 lbs, and the ice-full light turns on at 6.8 lbs, while the specifications list a capacity of 12 pounds. Cyclopentane foam insulation and a stainless steel exterior keep ice frozen for 6 to 8 hours after power off. The LED display shows ambient temperature, a timer, self-cleaning and alerts. Connect the inlet and drain hoses for auto fill and drain. It is ETL certified, weighs 38.6 pounds and fits on a counter, under a counter or in a cabinet, with four screw-in leveling feet.

This is the machine for home bars and all-day LAN events. It gives way to the portable models for casual use.

Whiskey and cocktail nights

This VEVOR 1.6″ Clear Ice Cube Maker makes three large 1.6 inch square cubes every 25 to 35 minutes, up to 22 lbs or 108 cubes per day. Clear ice has fewer trapped air bubbles, so it melts more slowly and dilutes drinks less, which makes it ideal for whiskey and bourbon.

It has a 2.4 L water tank, an insulated interior, a 2.5 lbs drawer basket holding 10 to 12 cubes, adjustable thickness, one-touch cleaning and 24-hour scheduling. It runs at 55 dB, draws 250 watts and measures 15.16 x 9.45 x 14.96 inches. The listing does not specify its weight.

Choose it for cocktail nights. It gives way to any other model here when you need a lot of ice quickly.

This second VEVOR 1.6″ Clear Ice Cube Maker listing has the same title and feature list as the one above: three 1.6 inch cubes every 25 to 35 minutes, 22 lbs or 108 cubes per day, a 2.4 L tank, a 2.5 lbs basket, 24-hour scheduling and 55 dB operation. The difference is in the data: this listing gives a model number, HZBF-0340, and a weight of 23.6 pounds, while it does not list wattage or dimensions.

The listings do not explain whether they differ in color, packaging or seller. Buy whichever is available, but check the product photos. For other options in this size class, see our guide to 26 lb portable ice machines with handles.
