Product Overview

Finding a reliable source of ice that doesn't swallow up your kitchen space can be a real headache. Introducing the Nice Ice N25, a brilliant commercial countertop ice maker designed to sit neatly on your work surface, churning out a steady supply of ice exactly when you need it. It's the perfect partner for any business that needs quality ice on tap without the drama of a huge, freestanding unit.

Specifically built for small to medium-sized establishments like bustling cafés, local pubs, and intimate bistros, this machine delivers a solid 25kg of fresh ice every 24 hours. The handy 5kg storage bin ensures you've always got a ready supply for that unexpected rush. With its sleek stainless steel finish and compact footprint, it looks the part on any back bar or in any prep area, working away quietly and efficiently.

What really makes the Nice Ice N25 a winner is its simple, no-fuss operation. The automatic water fill means you can 'fit and forget', letting it top itself up from the mains, while the auto cut-off saves energy once the bin is full. It’s the smart, dependable solution to keeping your customer's drinks perfectly chilled, service after service.

The Nice Ice Advantage: Reliability When It Counts

Beyond the daily output and stainless steel finish, the Nice Ice N25 embodies a 'fit and forget' philosophy crucial for small businesses. It isn’t packed with complex digital displays or features you’ll never use. Instead, its design focuses on one core task: making ice, reliably and consistently, day in and day out. This straightforward engineering means fewer potential points of failure and easier maintenance, translating to lower long-term running costs and less risk of a breakdown during a crucial Saturday service. The inclusion of a self-diagnostic system is a nod to business reality—it helps you identify a simple issue, like a blocked water line, before it becomes a major problem. For a café or small bar where every piece of equipment has to earn its keep, this focus on dependable, no-fuss performance is its greatest asset.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Copper Kettle," a popular tea room in the heart of the Cotswolds, found their domestic ice maker couldn't handle the summer tourist rush for iced teas and cold drinks. They needed a professional, yet compact, upgrade.

"We were constantly running to the shops for bags of ice, which was a nightmare. The Nice Ice N25 was the perfect fit for our small prep area. It just sits there and does its job, and we've never been caught short since. It's been absolutely brilliant for us."

Eleanor Vance – Manager

The new machine completely eliminated their mid-service ice shortages, allowing them to confidently meet customer demand and increase iced drink sales by over 30% during peak season.

How Automatic Fill Gives You One Less Thing to Worry About

Ever had a staff member forget to refill the ice machine, only to find it empty during a mad rush? The 'Automatic Fill' feature on the Nice Ice N25 is designed to make that problem a thing of the past. It works by connecting the machine directly to your mains water supply with a simple hose, much like a washing machine.

Think of it like a self-filling kettle that never runs dry. Internal sensors detect when the water level for ice-making is low and automatically draw in more water, without you having to lift a finger. This means you get a non-stop, consistent supply of ice without any of the manual labour. It frees up your team to focus on what they do best: serving customers, not babysitting the equipment.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

Position the unit on a flat, stable countertop, ensuring it's level using the adjustable feet.
Leave at least 15cm of clear space around the sides and back for proper air circulation to prevent overheating.
Connect the supplied inlet hose securely to a standard 3/4" BSP mains water connection.
Ensure the drain hose is positioned correctly over a nearby drain or waste pipe.
Plug into a dedicated 13 amp socket, switch on, and allow it to run one full cycle before using the ice.

Keeping It Going

Wipe the stainless steel exterior daily with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent.
Empty and clean the storage bin at least once a week using a food-safe sanitiser to maintain hygiene.
Check the air vents regularly and clear any dust or debris to maintain cooling efficiency.
Schedule a periodic descale of the machine, especially in hard water areas, to prevent limescale build-up.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Ice Maker

Not sure which ice machine is the right fit for your business? Here are a few key things to think about before you choose.

Output vs. Demand

Always base your choice on your busiest day. A professional ice machine with a 25kg output is fantastic for a café or small bar, but a large, busy restaurant might need a unit producing 100kg or more.

Size and Placement

A commercial countertop ice maker is a brilliant space-saver. If you have room, an under-counter model can be tucked away neatly. Always measure your available space twice before ordering!

Water Connection

Mains-fed (auto-fill) machines like this one are incredibly convenient but do require plumbing. Manual-fill models offer more portability but need constant attention from your staff.

Storage Bin Capacity

The bin holds the ice that's ready to serve. Make sure its capacity (here, 5kg) is enough to get you through an hour or two of your busiest service without running out.

Type of Ice

This machine produces 'bullet' or 'thimble' ice, which is an excellent all-rounder for cooling drinks. Other machines produce cubes, flakes, or nuggets for different applications like cocktails or food displays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much ice does this machine actually make per hour?

A: It produces up to 25kg over a full 24-hour period, which works out to just over 1kg of fresh ice every hour, on average.

Q: Does it need to be plumbed in?

A: Yes, this is an automatic-fill model. For it to work continuously, it needs to be connected to a mains water supply using the included kit.

Q: Does the storage bin keep the ice frozen solid?

A: The 5kg bin is well-insulated to slow down melting, but it isn't a freezer. It's designed for the ice to be used regularly throughout service.

Q: What kind of power socket is needed?

A: Nothing special, just a standard UK 13 amp socket. The machine comes with a plug already fitted for you.

Q: Is it noisy when it's running?

A: It operates with a low and consistent hum, similar to a domestic fridge-freezer. In a commercial setting, it is very unlikely to be disruptive.

Q: How should I clean it?

A: The stainless steel exterior can be wiped down daily. The bin should be emptied and cleaned weekly with a food-safe sanitiser to ensure perfect hygiene.

Q: What shape is the ice it produces?

A: It makes popular 'bullet' shaped ice (also known as thimble ice), which has a large surface area for cooling drinks down quickly.

Q: What if my counter isn't perfectly level?

A: That's no problem. The machine is fitted with adjustable feet, so you can easily level it for stable and efficient operation.
