Freezimer Countertop Ice Maker (Review)

Freezimer countertop ice maker can produce up to 33 pounds of ice in 24 hours which is 27% more than most countertop ice makers. With that being said sheer output of ice is not the only thing that matters so is Freezimer countertop ice maker any good?


Ice Production

Freezimer countertop ice maker produces a batch of 9 bullet-shaped ice cubes every ~7 minutes. They can be a bit wet because the ice basket is not refrigerated (this is the case with all countertop ice makers at this price point) but overall ice quality is good and they taste pure.

It can also make ice cubes in two sizes: small and large. Smaller ice cubes can pass through bottle opening whereas the larger ones are more better suited for drinks in glasses.

Larger ice cubes don’t look much bigger than smaller ones however in this case looks are deceiving as they are significantly larger in volume (which is what actually matters).


Noise

Freezimer countertop ice maker is equipped with a fan that runs constantly but it’s not noisy at all. You do notice the noise initially but you get used to it within few days

Freezimer countertop ice maker also makes some noise when it drops ice in the basket but it’s not any louder than other countertop ice makers.


Self-Cleaning mode

Freezimer countertop ice maker has self-cleaning mode. This is something most countertop ice makers don’t have (but some do).

Just add water to the water reservoir, select ‘’Clean” mode and it will automatically begin self-cleaning process. Once it has finished use the drain plug to pour out all the water.


Materials

Housing of Freezimer countertop ice maker is made of thickened stainless steel whereas interior is made of food grade Polypropylene. Between the two there’s 19MNM ternary foaming layer which works as insulation to slow down the melting process of ice cubes since ice basket doesn’t work as a freezer.


Aesthetics

With it’s stainless steel exterior and sleek design Freezimer countertop ice maker is very attractive. This is perhaps what matters the least but it’s certainly an advantage that this model is more attractive than most of its competitors.


Ice Basket & Water Reservoir

Both the ice basket and water reservoir are larger than on most countertop ice makers. What this means is that it can hold more ice and that you won’t have to refill the reservoir as often.

Ice basket holds up to 3.3 pounds of ice cubes whereas water reservoir has 2.8 liter capacity.


Dimensions

Freezimer countertop ice maker measures 9 inches in width, 15.3 inches in depth and 16.5 inches in height.


Verdict

Freezimer countertop ice maker is certainly better than most of its competitors. The actual differences are small but they do add up making it clear that this is one of the best countertop ice makers in this price class.
