A Game-Changer for Ice Lovers!!
If you're looking for a high-capacity, undercounter ice maker that delivers crystal-clear ice for your home or business, the Newair Undercounter Ice Maker is a fantastic choice. After testing it, here's my honest review of its performance, features, and whether it's worth the investment. Design & Build Quality Right out of the box, the stainless steel finish gives this ice maker a sleek, modern look that fits seamlessly into any kitchen, bar, or outdoor setup. It's built for undercounter installation but can also function as a freestanding unit, giving you flexibility depending on your space. Performance & Ice Quality One of the standout features is its ability to produce up to 80 lbs of ice per day—more than enough for large gatherings or heavy daily use. The ice itself is clear and slow-melting, perfect for cocktails, sodas, and high-end beverages. Unlike cloudy ice from traditional freezers, this machine's clear ice is purer and enhances the overall drinking experience. Ease of Use & Installation The controls are user-friendly, and it operates quietly, which is a huge plus for home settings. Installation requires a water line and drainage setup, so you may need professional help if you're not handy with plumbing. However, once installed, it runs efficiently with minimal maintenance. Pros: ✔️ High ice production (80 lbs per day) ✔️ Clear, slow-melting ice that enhances drinks ✔️ Sleek stainless steel design ✔️ Undercounter or freestanding option ✔️ Energy-efficient and relatively quiet operation Cons: ❌ Requires a water line and drain (not plug-and-play)

Fantastic Ice Maker – Perfect for Home Entertaining
I recently purchased the Newair 15" Undercounter Nugget Ice Maker, and it has been a game changer for my kitchen! This machine is sleek and stylish with its stainless steel finish, fitting perfectly under my counter, though it can also be used freestanding. It produces up to 66 lbs of nugget ice a day, which is incredible for parties or even just daily use. The nugget ice is soft, chewable, and perfect for cocktails, sodas, or just regular water – it feels like having restaurant-quality ice right at home! It produces ice quickly, so I never run out, even when entertaining guests. Installation was straightforward, and it operates quietly. I love how it blends seamlessly into my kitchen, and the ease of use is fantastic. If you're in the market for a high-quality, durable ice maker that delivers great-tasting ice, I highly recommend this one. It's worth every penny!

An ice making beauty
This undercounter ice maker is incredible, and quite easy to install as well if you have the space. The manual is written really well so you have no issues with the installation. After purchase I have hosted a couple parties and it's been amazing, ice never ran out, no more rushing to the store for ice bags. No regrets, this is my favorite home appliance of the year!

Amazing
The amount of nugget ice this ice maker produces is incredible! 66 lbs a day is more than enough for the whole family and was a life saver during the summer heat. It pumps ice out an incredible pace and ensures there will always be some in there to use. Highly recommend!

The nugget ice from this machine is perfect for drinks. The stainless steel design looks great in my kitchen, and it was easy to set up. I love that it connects to the water line, so I never have to refill it.

- Q
What is the plumbing layout requirement for undercounter installation? How far back from the front if the cabinets and how far from the edge of opening should the drain be? How much space behind the unit does it need? Installing unit on one end of a 8'X4' island cabinet and we are getting ready to pour the concrete slab on grade floor and we need to know exactly where to locate the drain & water supply valve? Very crucial dimensions at this point and we do not have a unit in our hands yet? Do u have a installation manual perhaps that would have these dimensions? Thank You
