Customers’ reviews
While some customers have noted a few cons, such as the machine’s tendency to make large sheets of ice and slightly “wet” cubes due to the storage area not being below freezing, many have praised its efficiency and clear ice-making capabilities. One customer noted that the ice cubes were perfect for their freezer’s ice dispenser and crusher, while another found that cleaning their machine improved the clarity of their ice.
Overall, this machine is a great addition to any kitchen, office, or bar. The convenience of not having to constantly buy bags of ice, combined with the quality and clarity of the ice produced, makes this product a must-have for any home mixologist or avid ice lover.
Product Description
The NewAir ClearIce40 Silver Counter Top Ice Maker Machine is the perfect solution for those who need a lot of ice, quickly. With the ability to make up to 40 pounds of ice every 24 hours, this compact automatic ice maker is perfect for any kitchen, office, bar, or home.
The simple two-button operation means that there is no learning curve, and clear indicator lights let you know when the ice is ready and when you need to add water, without any guesswork. The ultra-insulated storage area inside the machine keeps your ice colder for longer, and water from melted ice drains back into the machine and is recycled in the next round of ice making.
But the real star of this machine is the clear ice that it produces. Clear ice makes a big difference in the quality of your drinks. It melts more slowly so you don’t water down high-quality scotch or tequila. Clear ice cubes also generate less fizz, so you never end up with a half-filled glass of soda.
Overall, the NewAir ClearIce40 Silver Counter Top Ice Maker Machine is a great investment for anyone who needs a lot of ice, quickly and efficiently. The compact size and easy operation make it perfect for any space, and the clear ice it produces is a game changer for anyone who takes their drinks seriously.

User Experience
We have gathered reviews from different customers who have tried and tested the NewAir ClearIce40 Silver Counter Top Ice Maker Machine. Based on these reviews, here are some of the things that customers have experienced.
Fast Ice Making
Many customers have noted that this ice maker produces ice quickly, with some even reporting that it can make a batch in under 15 minutes. Compared to many refrigerators with an in-built ice maker, this is really impressive. With this ice maker, you can have your drinks chilled with ice in no time.
Initial Setup and Use
Some customers have noted that this ice maker takes a while to make its first batch of ice after initial setup, especially if the water used is not chilled. However, once that first batch is produced, the ice maker continues to produce ice quickly. Also, according to some reviewers, the controls can be a bit vague at times, but the ice maker is relatively easy to operate.
Ice Clumping Issue
While most customers praise the clear, bar-like cubes produced by the NewAir ClearIce40 Silver Counter Top Ice Maker Machine, some have reported issues with clumping. According to these customers, the ice produced can stick together in sheets, making it challenging to use. However, others have noted that waiting a bit after a batch has been made can make the crystals separate more quickly.
Comparative Analysis
Overall, customers have found the NewAir ClearIce40 Silver Counter Top Ice Maker Machine to be much faster and more efficient than many other ice makers in the same price range. Some have noted that it takes up more counter space than expected, but most customers have found it to be worth the investment. Compared to other ice makers, this model is relatively quiet, and the clear ice produced is ideal for high-quality drinks. Most importantly, customers have noted that once you get the hang of using it, it is relatively easy to operate, and maintenance is minimal.
Pros and Cons
Pros
We love the NewAir ClearIce40 Silver Counter Top Ice Maker Machine for a variety of reasons. Firstly, it makes a lot of ice very quickly. In under 15 minutes, we can have a full batch of ice ready to use. Additionally, the ice that it produces is crystal clear, which visually looks neat but also means that sodas and other beverages barely fizz when poured over it.
The machine also has a decent amount of storage for ice, and it creates sheets of ice, which makes it easy to fill up a cup with lots of ice.
Cons
While we love this machine, there are a few cons worth mentioning. For starters, the unit can be a bit loud. However, it’s not in an offensive way, so it’s not a deal-breaker. Additionally, the controls can be vague, and sometimes it doesn’t turn on or doesn’t kick on when the ice full flap is lifted.
Another minor issue is that occasionally it makes a monster ice sheet and can’t seem to defrost it off. Turning it off seems to cycle a defrost cycle and remove it. Additionally, the ice is slightly “wet,” as the storage area isn’t below freezing. While this is good in that the ice won’t stick to each other, it also means it’s always melting a little.
Lastly, we do have some concerns about the long-term durability of this machine. Although it has a nice stainless steel box, it’s a bunch of cheap-looking plastic parts inside. Additionally, the sounds it makes don’t make us feel like it’s of the highest quality, and it takes up quite a bit of counter space.
Overall, despite the cons, we love this machine. It’s perfect for anyone who drinks a lot of water and likes it to be very cold with ice. It’s slightly more work than using a water dispenser and traditional ice maker from the fridge, but it’s way faster, and we never run out of ice.

Does the ice maker produce clear ice?
Yes, this ice maker produces crystal clear ice, which is perfect for quality drinks.
Do the ice cubes clump together after they are made?
While we have seen some reviews noting ice cubes sticking together, this can be easily solved by breaking up the ice with a scoop or shaking the storage compartment.
Is there thick insulation?
Yes, this ice maker has extra thick insulation, which keeps your ice colder for longer in the ultra-insulated storage area. Water from melted ice drains back into the machine and is recycled in the next round of ice making.
Is this ice maker durable?
Many users have experienced continuous and reliable use of the NewAir ClearIce40 Silver Counter Top Ice Maker Machine for years, and we have seen reviews of users who prefer this unit to cheaper ice makers that have not lasted as long.
Can you make thicker ice cubes?
Yes, there is a trick to making thicker ice cubes, which is holding the start button for about five seconds when you turn on the appliance. The trade-off for thicker ice cubes is that the flat sheet of thick ice cubes comes off as a solid sheet, so using a metal scoop is recommended to break up the sheet. Notably, the standard plastic scoop that comes with the unit is not up to the task of breaking up the thick sheet of ice cubes.
