    A portable ice maker is a great decision for so many reasons. They are perfect for entertaining outside, everyday mealtimes, social events, specialty drinks, and a host of other uses.

    I have owned a portable ice maker for over 5 years now. I’m so glad that I decided to buy one years ago. They are so convenient, easy to set up and produce enough ice for my entire family.

    Ice Production26 lbs a day

    Storage Bin1.5 lbs

    Dimensions9.5 x 14 x 13 inches

    In this article, I will review a portable ice maker that’s popular to buy online – it’s the Costway Portable Ice Maker. I’m going to look at this ice maker’s features, the ways it can be used, and my overall thoughts concerning this unit.

    I purchased this ice maker myself using Amazon. I added a link at the end of this article where you can purchase this portable ice maker yourself.

    Design

    When I ordered this ice maker online, I had to begin with choosing which color I wanted for my kitchen.

    There are several colors to choose from, which I thought was a great touch. These colors available are:

    • Black
    • Navy
    • Red
    • Gray
    • White
    • Green (More of a retro green)

    This portable ice maker is made with food grade materials, certified with ETL, and the durable ABS surface is smooth and smudge free.

    At the end of the day, it looks like 98% of all the portable ice makers on the market. It doesn’t need water lines or a drain, and it’s clean and easy to use.

    The multi-colors are a great idea, and if you’re looking for a specific color to fit into your kitchen’s theme, you have the options with this ice maker.

    Features

    The Costway Portable Ice Maker produces 26 pounds of bullet-shaped ice each day. This ice maker has a sleek design, with the LED controls on the top of the lid. It’s easy to operate, just power on the unit, select the size of ice you want (small or large), and that’s all there is to it.

    It’s going to take about 8 mins to make the first batch of ice until things get rolling; you’re looking at ice every 6-7 minutes.

    Setup is a breeze. I removed the ice maker from the box and washed out the water reservoir with warm soapy water. I raised the ice maker’s internals several times and then filled the water reservoir with water to the full marker.

    I then plugged in the ice maker and began the ice cycle. That was all there was to it! The ice cycle continued for about 1 hour until it shut down with a full basket of bullet ice (it’s about 1.5 pounds of ice).

    Looking for a specific type of ice? You can learn all about the different types of ice and how you can use them here.

    Want to learn more about the different types of ice? Read my article here.

    The water tank can hold 2.2 liters of water, so you’re going to get a full basket of ice with one fill-up.

    As far as features, it’s a pretty standard portable ice maker with no real stand-out features. It’s light and easy to transport (weighs 17.5 pounds), simple to set up and get rolling, and produces a fair amount of ice each day.

    Uses

    Why should someone purchase this ice maker?

    There are several reasons why I would consider purchasing this ice maker, the first being size and weight. It’s light and easy to transport which makes it a perfect candidate for camping, RV or a boat. This ice maker is so light that I wouldn’t be afraid to take it anywhere.

    If you are looking for a small, compact portable ice maker and want to transport it a lot then I would suggest the Costway Portable Ice Maker.

    Another reason why I would consider the Costway Portable Ice Maker is the price. It’s so affordable. Though prices are always changing, it comes in at about $100 which I think is terrific.

    There is no doubt this ice maker is a great value. It’s small and compact, easy to transport, easy to operate and priced right.

    I guess, if you are looking for an affordable ice maker that produces 26 pounds of ice each day, then this ice maker is probably your best bet.

    Conclusion

    I recommend this ice maker if you’re looking for a durable unit and you don’t want to break the bank. This is maker isn’t going to be a large investment, and if you not sure a portable ice maker is right for you, then this is a good ice maker to test the waters.

    Overall, it’s a solid offering from Costway, at a great price.

    Why Trust Our Reviews

    Several years ago, I set out on an online journey to find a review on a product that I was going to buy.

    After reading several reviews without any real help, I purchased the product.

    In the end, the product wasn't what I expected. The frustrating part was I could have saved myself time if I would have read a proper product review.

    This is when Better Home + Living began, I set out to create a site with honest, informative product reviews. I put my heart and soul in every review that I write, and give you my honest opinion along the way. No fluff. No Hype. Just the way you need it.
