The VEVOR SKF-AT70FT is a compact, light-commercial ice maker. VEVOR rates it at up to 70 lb of ice cubes per 24 hours and positions it for home bars, coffee shops, offices and small restaurants that need a steady supply of cubes.
Output and storage
Daily output is quoted as up to 70 lb (about 32 kg) under test conditions of 50-100.4°F (10-38°C) ambient temperature. Ice makers commonly produce less when the room is warm, so the real figure depends on where you put the machine. The bin holds 12 lb (about 5.4 kg), which means the machine stops making ice once the bin is full and starts again as you use cubes.
The machine uses 36 ice trays and makes a batch in 12-15 minutes, depending on ice thickness. VEVOR says the compressor is powerful and operates quietly.
Insulation
VEVOR says cyclopentane insulation at least 20 mm thick, plus a quality shell, helps ice stay frozen for 6-8 hours when the machine is idle. Insulation matters because in a bin that is not itself a freezer, ice slowly melts, and better insulation slows that down.
Two ways to supply water
The machine has two water inlets. It can be connected directly to a tap or fed from bottled water. That flexibility helps in places without a plumbed connection, though the listing doesn't describe the fittings, so check the manual for what is needed and where the drain goes.
Controls and thickness adjustment
An LED digital display and mechanical buttons control the machine. Ice thickness is adjusted by lengthening or shortening the ice-making time. Thicker cubes take longer to form and melt more slowly in a drink. An indicator light shows the machine's status.
Self-cleaning
A one-touch automatic cleaning function is included. Ice machines need regular cleaning because water leaves mineral scale, so follow the manual for how often to run it and which cleaning products to use.
Size and weight
The unit measures 13.2 x 13.7 x 25.2 inches (about 34 x 35 x 64 cm) and weighs 35.3 lb (about 16 kg). That fits on a counter or in a corner of a bar, but allow space around it for airflow, as the manual describes.
What to check before you buy
- Daily ice need: compare 70 lb a day and 12 lb of storage with your peak demand.
- Room temperature: output is quoted for 50-100.4°F ambient; a hot room may lower it.
- Water and drainage: check how the water inlets and drain connect where you plan to place it.
- Ventilation: leave the clearances the manual asks for.
- Cleaning routine: plan for regular cleaning and descaling.
- Power: check the electrical requirements in the manual.
