![]() Pros: Runs quietly, one water tank is enough for an hour of ice productionĬons: Bulky, takes longer to produce enough ice to fill a glass Water capacity: 1.5 quarts, 4.5 with side water tank.The Magic Chef can be used outdoors, but as with all of the best ice makers, the manufacturer recommends that you leave it in its final position for about an hour before using it. I did notice that some hair and dust particles stuck to the machine and were super visible on the white exterior. The drainage port is on the underside of the machine, so it requires some finagling to open it and place a vessel for catching the excess water underneath. The noise level was no higher than other machines, which is especially useful if you're bringing the ice maker into a small space. ![]() The large ice cubes did not take much longer to form than the small ones, and I found that the Magic Chef actually over-delivered on its claim: both sizes were ready to use in under 10 minutes. The ice came out fully formed and the cubes were identical in size and shape. This is enough ice to fill an eight ounce glass. The Magic Chef doesn't have many bells and whistles, but it delivers on its key promise: you will get nine pieces of small or large ice in 15 minutes or less. Pros: Can be used outdoors, runs quietly, small and large ice produced in under 10 minutesĬons: Not easy to drain, white finish attracts dust However, this was the case for all of the ice makers I tested, so the NewAir kept its place as the best ice maker. The small ice started losing shape just from the heat of my hand the medium and large ice cubes were more substantial. ![]() If you shut off the machine mid-cycle, any ice formed will drop back into the water tank. This speed is standard among ice makers with one or two sizes, but I was impressed by the NewAir's consistent timing in all three sizes.ĭraining the leftover water was easy because the NewAir's drainage port is conveniently located on its side near the bottom, as opposed to underneath the machine. Regardless of the size you select, each ice cycle produces nine pieces of ice and takes under 15 minutes to complete. After running two small cycles, one medium, and one large, there were still over two quarts left. Pros: Three ice sizes, large water tank capacity, ice is evenly shaped across sizesĬons: Bulky, small ice is on the thin sideĪt three quarts, this ice maker's water tank had the largest capacity out of all the machines we tested. Ice sizes: 3 (small, medium, and large). ![]()
