The EUHOMY IM-01 is a compact countertop ice maker that produces bullet-shaped ice. It sits on a counter, needs no plumbing and fills a basket with ice through the day. It is meant for homes, offices and small gatherings where a freezer tray is too slow. Here is what the features mean.
How it makes ice
EUHOMY says the machine produces about 26 lb (about 12 kg) of ice in 24 hours, with nine cubes ready in as little as 8 minutes. These are the brand's figures, and real output depends on room temperature and water temperature. Countertop ice makers typically produce a batch at a time, so a full basket takes a while to build up.
Bullet ice is a small, hollow-ended shape, which the brand describes as chewable. It suits drinks, smoothies and seafood displays.
Two cube sizes
The control panel offers two cube-size buttons. Smaller ice typically freezes faster, while larger pieces melt more slowly. The panel also shows when you need to add water through an indicator light.
Compressor and recirculating water
EUHOMY says the machine uses an efficient compressor that does not make much noise and uses little energy. A compressor is the same kind of cooling system used in fridges. The brand also says the water tank recirculates water, so unused water isn't wasted between batches. Water that sits for a long time should be replaced, as the manual describes.
Sensor and window
An infrared sensor detects when the ice basket is full and stops production so ice doesn't overflow. A transparent window lets you watch ice being made.
Cleaning and setup
No installation is needed. You fill the tank, plug in the machine and place it on a counter. Holding the power key for five seconds starts a cleaning mode, and EUHOMY says to clean the machine before first use. The exterior is silver stainless steel, which the brand describes as easy to clean. The listing notes that a blue or green colour on a new unit is a protective film.
Ice makers like this need regular cleaning of the tank and basket, so follow the manual.
Size and weight
It measures about 12.6 x 9.6 x 12.6 inches (32 x 24 x 32 cm) and weighs 17.2 lb (about 7.8 kg). It includes an ice scoop and basket.
Who it suits
It suits households that use a lot of ice, small offices, and people who entertain. It is less suited to those who need large quantities at once. Countertop machines also make ice that melts relatively quickly, so it is best stored in a freezer if you need to keep it.
What to check before you buy
- Space: you need a counter spot with air space around the vents.
- Output: 26 lb per day is the brand's maximum figure, so think about your peak needs.
- Water: use clean water as the manual advises.
- Noise: compressors still make some sound, so consider where you'll place it.
- Upkeep: plan for regular cleaning and draining.
- Ice storage: the basket is not a freezer, and ice melts over time.
