Antarctic Star Countertop Ice Maker — 11.8 kg/day, 6-Minute Clear Cubes, Compact Quiet

Antarctic Star Countertop Ice Maker produces restaurant-style ice in as little as 6 minutes, delivering up to 26 pounds of fresh ice per day from a compact countertop footprint.

Compact, fast, and energy-aware, this countertop ice machine is designed to supply steady batches of clear, ready-to-use ice for home kitchens, small gatherings, RV trips, or office break rooms. It balances speed and sustainability with a streamlined motor that reduces energy use by roughly 30%, a self-cleaning cycle to prevent off-flavors, and near-silent operation below 40 dB so it won’t interrupt conversations or work.

How quickly does it make ice and how much can I expect daily?

This model starts producing ice in as little as six minutes and can make up to 26 pounds of ice in a 24-hour period, depending on ambient temperature and water supply. It’s tailored for steady, frequent use rather than industrial-scale production.

• First batch in ~6 minutes for immediate needs.
• Up to 26 lbs/day capacity for gatherings or regular use.
• Continuous cycles maintain a ready reservoir of ice.

What features help maintain ice quality and reduce upkeep?

Built-in one-touch self-cleaning keeps mineral buildup and odors down, so ice tastes neutral and stays clear longer. Regular weekly cycles or a clean after two weeks of inactivity are recommended to preserve performance.

• One-touch self-clean mode for hassle-free maintenance.
• Sealed water path limits contamination and off-odors.
• Clear-cube production reduces cloudy, brittle ice.

Will it fit in small spaces and travel well for trips?

With a footprint of 8.66" x 10.39" x 11.22", the unit is intentionally compact for countertops, RV countertops, tailgates, or small bars. Its size and weight make it easy to move while still holding enough capacity for social events.

• Small footprint fits tight countertops and campers.
• Lightweight design simplifies transportation and storage.
• Fast-cycle performance suited to on-the-go entertaining.

How quiet and energy-efficient is the Antarctic Star ice maker?

Acoustic design keeps operation under 40 dB so it blends into background noise without distraction. The optimized motor and streamlined construction lower energy consumption by approximately 30% compared with conventional models.

• Library-quiet operation (<40 dB) for minimal disturbance.
• Motor and layout engineered to cut energy use by ~30%.
• Lower running costs and reduced carbon footprint.

Who is this for?
