Curved Crescent Design

The curved design of the cubes allows water to flow evenly over the surface of the evaporator during ice creation, ensuring that impurities are washed away instead of being trapped and frozen in conventional grid-style evaporators. It also ensures that cubes come off individually instead of in unusable sheets and clusters.

H-GUARD Plus Antimicrobial

To aid in your safety efforts, H-GUARD Plus Antimicrobial agent is embedded into the ice scoop and other key components of the ice machine to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms.

EverCheck Control Board

The EverCheck control board keeps operation simple and features an audible alarm and easy-to-use diagnostic features should a problem arise. Plus, the CycleSaver design increases energy efficiency, leading to less down time for cleaning. Removable air filters also help make cleaning and maintenance easy, and make maintaining your unit as stress-free as possible.

Stainless Steel Evaporator

The stainless steel evaporator is designed for increased efficiency with maximized surface area, a faster harvest cycle for increased production, and an increased bonded surface area that creates a stronger, more durable structure.

Ice Storage Bin

This ice machine comes with a built-in ice bin with a capacity of 38 lb. It keeps your ice cubes fresh and cold so you are able to serve your customers chilled beverages with crystal clear ice.

If I could rate this zero stars, I would. We have purchased three of these ice machines and all two of the three worked for maybe a month or so and the third doesn't work...just beeps at you. Customer support is a joke, with no resolution and three machines that are not worth anything more that a doorstop. Do not buy this machine!!

We appreciate your review, Justine. We wish this product would have worked out for you. Our Customer Solutions team will remain in contact with you about this.

This ice machine is working great for us. I have always had the best results with Hoshizaki products. This machine is pretty quiet and ergonomically comfortable to use.

I have paid to fix this 3 times. The pump purchased for this also broke. I would never recommend this product to another business. I hate writing a negative review but buyer beware.
