Why this ice machine earns its place
This Ice-O-Matic unit is the smallest model in the UCG undercounter ice maker series, built for sites that need a proper supply of bistro cube ice without giving up valuable counter or back-bar space. It combines daily ice production with integral storage, so staff can scoop from the machine through service rather than constantly managing bought-in bags.
Its layout is the practical detail that matters. Complete front air discharge and a removable front air filter give you more freedom over where the machine can sit, especially in tighter bar and prep areas where side clearance is hard to protect. The air-cooled condenser keeps the specification straightforward, while the easy-access ice bin makes day-to-day use simple for drinks service, hospitality stations and compact catering operations.
Installation needs planning, not guesswork. This model drains by gravity and is not supplied with a drain pump, so a pump is required if the machine is installed lower than the drain standpipe. Ice-O-Matic also flags water quality clearly: in hard or medium water areas, a water filter is recommended to reduce limescale damage and help maintain ice quality.
