I’ve shared my preference for the portable ice maker, but it was a very tricky decision. There’s another contender that caught my eye, literally. The colour is so lovely that I almost forgot to check out the finer details. This NewAir AI-100R Portable Icemaker is a rich red. That crimson shade that I used to drool over as a kid when passing a shoe store if it displayed shiny shoes in this same colour.
As a younger adult, I even purchased a pair of patent leather shoes in crimson to satisfy my childhood longing. But these shoes couldn’t produce ice! So I had to turf them. LOL.
The NewAir AI-100R is a tad smaller than my other choice producing up to 28 pounds of ice in a day and it starts churning out cubes within 15 minutes. It’s easy to clean and one of the qualities of these portable ice makers that I like is their ability to recycle the water from the melted ice blocks.
So if you don’t use the ones that have been produced, they will just melt and then go back through the system. I guess the downside is that they don’t hold the cubes in a freezer compartment. That’d be a great quality to incorporate into a portable ice maker!
I’m off to check out some more ice makers and I’ll make sure to keep you posted on my latest finds.
