NewAir Countertop Bullet Ice Maker
Score: 77/100
Iceman Dual-Size Countertop Ice Maker
Score: 65/100Rankings
The NewAir AI-100BK is a freestanding countertop bullet ice maker delivering high daily output and rapid 6-minute cycles. It misses Energy Star certification and automatic shut-off, and its weight can be a handling issue. Ideal for small households, offices, or outdoor events needing on-demand bullet ice.
The Iceman RJ56-BUL-12 is a compact countertop bullet-ice maker that delivers a quick first batch and offers dual ice sizes with self-cleaning. Its limited ice basket capacity and need for manual water refills restrict heavy-use scenarios. Best for small gatherings or portable setups where speed outweighs volume.
