Sweetcrispy Countertop Ice Maker review
A compact, quiet ice maker that turns out a batch of bullet ice in about 6 minutes — useful when the fridge can't keep up.
Quick take
This portable ice maker produces 9 bullet-shaped ice cubes in 6-8 minutes, with a rated output of up to 26.5 lbs in 24 hours. It includes "Add Water" and "Ice Full" alerts, runs at a sub-40dB noise level, and comes with a scoop and basket for handling ice directly.
From our own use
When several people are in the house, a refrigerator's ice maker may not keep up. This countertop unit can produce more than 20 pounds of ice per day, making it useful for an office, a party, or any gathering where extra ice is needed.

Who it's for
Good fit
- Households where the fridge ice maker can't keep up with demand
- Offices, bars, or party setups needing extra ice on hand
- Anyone wanting a quiet, compact countertop option
Skip it if
- You only need ice occasionally, not regularly
- You need continuous large-batch output rather than 6-8 minute cycles
Design and daily use
The alert system (Add Water, Ice Full) takes the guesswork out of running it unattended during a gathering, and the sub-40dB noise level means it can sit on a kitchen or bar counter without becoming a background hum. It's built for repeat cycling rather than a single large batch, so ice builds up over the course of an event.
