If your bar burns through ice from open to close, the Mojgar 760LBS/24H unit and its 650 lb bin is the better call. Daily output is what splits this field, and the spread here is enormous: 100 lbs at one end, 760 lbs at the other. That single figure decides your footprint, your plumbing and your bin size before anything else does. In this guide 1.

The first was the missing output figure. A machine that describes itself as "high capacity" without publishing a pounds-per-24-hours number gives you nothing to plan around, and every unit here states one. The second was the countertop nugget maker wearing the word commercial in its title. Those hold a few pounds, drain into a tray you empty by hand, and belong in a different guide entirely. The third was any cabinet with no published dimensions, because a machine that does not fit is a return shipment, not a purchase. What survived is seven units spanning a wide range: - Two entry-position undercounter machines at 100 lbs/24H - One 200 lbs/24H unit and one 265 lbs/24H unit in the middle - Three big cabinets at 360, 400 and 760 lbs/24H Six of the seven publish a weight, from 42.3 lb up to 147.7 lb. Every one publishes exterior dimensions. Only one publishes a warranty term, which is the EUHOMY at 1 year manufacturer, and that gap matters more than the marketing copy on any of these listings. I also want to be straight about the phrase in the search. Amazon's own category here is Commercial Refrigerators & Refrigeration Equipment > Ice Machines, and every brand uses "commercial" in its title, but that word is not a certification. Three listings do claim ETL certification, one adds DOE, and the rest say nothing about it. Judge each unit on the numbers it publishes rather than the adjective on the box. ## Which daily output number do you actually need? Most guides to the best commercial grade ice maker start with cube shape or the control panel. Neither decides the purchase. Daily output does, because it sets the cabinet size, the drain requirement and the bin capacity all at once. Work backwards from consumption. A drink takes ice. A cooler of packed product takes far more. 1. **Under 100 lbs a day.** A home bar, a small coffee shop, a taproom that sells mostly cans. The two 100 lbs/24H undercounter units cover this and fit in a cabinet run. 2. **100 to 265 lbs a day.** A busy café, a small restaurant, a food truck commissary. The Tehanld at 200 lbs/24H and the VEVOR LB200TA at 265 lbs/24H sit here. 3. **265 to 400 lbs a day.** A full bar, a seafood display, a catering kitchen. The VEVOR 360 and FOHERE 400 have the 250 lb bins to buffer peaks. 4. **Above 400 lbs a day.** Hotels, event venues, high-volume restaurants. Only the 760 lbs/24H Mojgar reaches this. Here's the trick with output figures. They are rated at ideal ambient and water temperatures, so a machine in a hot kitchen in August produces less than the label promises. That is why bin capacity matters as much as the daily rate. A 100 lb machine with an 18-33 lb bin can only ever hand you 33 lbs at once, no matter how fast it cycles. The 650 lb bin on the premium Mojgar is the real difference between serving a rush and running dry mid-service. Buy one tier above your honest estimate. Undersizing costs you bagged ice every weekend. ## 1\. Mojgar Commercial Ice Maker Machine — Best overall **The Mojgar CIM-360F hits the sweet spot: 100 lbs of daily ice from the smallest and lightest cabinet in this set.** [![Mojgar CIM-360F stainless undercounter ice maker with open door showing cube bin — the compact 29.9-inch body that fits a standard counter run](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41j2UEPzuYL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GT4R28KY?tag=sbclearly-20) **Best for:** a home bar or small café needing undercounter ice **Skip it if:** you need more than 100 lbs of ice a day At 42.3 lb, this is by a wide margin the lightest machine here. The next lightest is the EUHOMY at 66.6 lb, and the big cabinets run past 140 lb. That matters on install day, because one person can position a 42.3 lb unit without a dolly or a second pair of hands. Its 29.9 x 15.2 x 15.8 in footprint is also the smallest of the seven, which is what makes the undercounter claim credible rather than aspirational. Output is 100 lbs/24H with an 18-33 lb bin, and Mojgar says the first batch lands in 10-18 minutes. The listing describes a three-step setup with a 1/2-inch male threaded faucet connection, one-touch self-cleaning, and an R290 compressor the brand credits with a 30% efficiency gain. Treat that efficiency figure as marketing rather than a measurement. It also sells faster than every other pick here except one. The trade-off is straightforward: it publishes fewer specifications than the EUHOMY, including no warranty term, and its bin is the smallest in the set. You get the best size-to-output ratio and give up buffer capacity. **Pros:** - Lightest cabinet in this set at 42.3 lb - Smallest footprint at 29.9 x 15.2 x 15.8 in - 100 lbs/24H output from an undercounter body - Cheapest of the seven picks - One-touch self-cleaning per the listing **Cons:** - Smallest bin here at 18-33 lbs - No warranty term published - Only one seller lists it - R290 efficiency saving is an unverified brand claim [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GT4R28KY?tag=sbclearly-20) ## 2\. EUHOMY Commercial Ice Maker Machine — Best for heavy use **The only pick here with a published warranty, and the specification sheet a business buyer actually wants.** [![EUHOMY IM-02 stainless undercounter ice machine with LCD panel — the only unit in this set publishing a 1 year manufacturer warranty](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41DQHmtXrBL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W48P1HK?tag=sbclearly-20) **Best for:** an operation that runs the machine all day **Skip it if:** you have no floor drain Seven machines, one published warranty term. The EUHOMY IM-02 lists 1 year manufacturer coverage, and no other pick in this set states any warranty at all. For a unit that will cycle continuously in a commercial kitchen, that is the single most valuable line on the page. Output matches the Mojgar at 100 lbs/24H, with a 33 lbs bin and, per EUHOMY, 45 clear cubes per cycle in 11-15 minutes. The listing claims ETL certification for both household and commercial use, and an LCD panel that shows ambient temperature and lets you shorten or lengthen the cycle to change cube thickness. Thin for smoothies, thick for spirits. Read the installation line carefully before you buy. EUHOMY states this unit uses gravity drainage and includes no pump, so you need a floor drain or a gravity outlet below the machine. No drain, no install. At 66.6 lb it is over 24 lb heavier than the Mojgar for the same daily output, and its 31.3 x 17.5 x 16 in cabinet is slightly larger too. You pay that size penalty for the warranty and the certification claim. **Pros:** - Only pick in this set with a published warranty - 100 lbs/24H with a 33 lbs bin - ETL certification claimed for commercial and home use - LCD panel with ambient temperature readout - Second-cheapest of the seven **Cons:** - Gravity drainage only, no pump included - 24 lb heavier than the Mojgar for the same output - Larger footprint than the top pick - Only one seller lists it [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W48P1HK?tag=sbclearly-20) ## 3\. VEVOR Commercial Ice Maker Machine — Best upgrade **265 lbs/24H is the biggest output jump you can make while still installing under a counter.** [![VEVOR LB200TA black and silver ice maker with LED display — 265 lbs daily output from a body that still mounts under a counter](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41El23M7SAL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRFJP6VV?tag=sbclearly-20) **Best for:** a busy café outgrowing a 100 lb machine **Skip it if:** you need a big holding bin This is the step most buyers actually need. The LB200TA more than doubles the 100 lbs/24H units to 265 lbs/24H, and VEVOR still lists built-in, freestanding and undercounter placement as options. At 96.3 lb it sits between the small undercounter pair and the three large cabinets, and its 55-85 lbs storage is roughly double the bin on either 100 lb machine. VEVOR says it makes 90 cubes in 8-10 minutes, which is the fastest stated cycle in this set, and specifies 0.87 in (22 mm) square cubes. That is a genuinely useful number, because almost nothing else here tells you the actual cube dimension. The listing also claims ETL certification, cyclopentane foam insulation, and an LED display with timer, one-touch self-cleaning, plus full-ice, low-water and fault alerts. It sells briskly for a mid-position machine, second only to the two entry units here. The catch is proportional: 55-85 lbs of storage on a 265 lbs/24H machine means you are relying on the production rate during a rush, not a deep reserve. The two 250 lb bins further down this list hold far more. Note also that the published dimensions of 3.27 x 25.6 x 24.5 in look like a listing error on the depth figure, so measure your alcove against the real unit before committing. **Pros:** - 265 lbs/24H, more than double the entry units - Fastest stated cycle here at 8-10 minutes - Publishes an exact 0.87 in cube size - Undercounter, built-in or freestanding placement - Fault, low-water and full-ice alerts claimed **Cons:** - 55-85 lbs bin is small for the output - Published dimensions look inconsistent - No warranty term stated - Only one seller lists it [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRFJP6VV?tag=sbclearly-20) ## 4\. Tehanld Commercial Ice Maker — Best for quiet operation **200 lbs/24H and 10 thickness levels from a cabinet narrow enough for a service alcove.** [![Tehanld silver commercial ice maker with LED control panel — 200 lbs daily output from a 16.6-inch wide cabinet](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41rjaIYsOxL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H6WWZQCM?tag=sbclearly-20) **Best for:** a machine sitting near guests or a dining room **Skip it if:** you want a published warranty term The Tehanld's useful trick is width. At 32.5 x 16.6 x 19 in it is only 1.4 inches wider than the EUHOMY, yet it doubles that machine's output to 200 lbs/24H. If you have a narrow gap in a back bar and need more than 100 lbs a day, this is the shape that fits. Tehanld claims 96 cubes in 7-15 minutes, a 33 LBS bin, and 10 adjustable thickness levels running from -5 to 5\. That is the widest adjustment range of any pick here apart from the 30-level premium Mojgar. The listing also states ETL and DOE certification, which is the only DOE mention in this set, and an LED panel with one-click self-cleaning, a 0-24h timer and one-touch defrost. At 82.7 lb it is heavier than you might expect for the footprint, so plan the install. Its bin is also the same 33 lbs as machines making half the ice, which means the reserve empties fast under load even though production keeps up. It is the slowest seller of the four smaller units here, and like most of this set it publishes no warranty. You are trading paperwork for a narrow, capable cabinet. **Pros:** - 200 lbs/24H from a 16.6 in wide cabinet - 10 thickness levels from -5 to 5 - ETL and DOE certification claimed - 0-24h timer and one-touch defrost - Third-cheapest pick here **Cons:** - 33 LBS bin is small relative to output - No warranty term published - Heavy at 82.7 lb for its footprint - Sells slower than the other small units here [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H6WWZQCM?tag=sbclearly-20) ## Will it fit, and can you plumb it? Output gets the attention. Fit is what sinks orders. Run these four checks before you buy any commercial grade ice maker. - **Height, measured to the cabinet or ceiling above.** The FOHERE stands 65 in tall and the premium Mojgar 55.3 in. Neither goes under a counter. The Mojgar CIM-360F at 15.8 in and the EUHOMY at 16 in do. - **Width at the narrowest point of the path in.** The premium Mojgar is 36 in wide and the VEVOR 360 is 28.7 in. Doorways, corners and stair turns all count. - **Drainage.** EUHOMY states gravity drainage with no pump included, meaning you need a floor drain or a gravity outlet. Assume the same of the others unless a listing says otherwise, and confirm before you schedule any install. - **Water inlet.** Mojgar publishes a 1/2-inch male threaded faucet connection on the CIM-360F. Check what fitting your supply line uses. Weight is the other quiet obstacle. The three large cabinets run 144 lb, 147.7 lb and, for the 760 lb unit, an unpublished figure. That is a two-person lift at minimum, and 147.7 lb on a residential floor near a sink deserves a moment's thought. Air-cooled machines also need clearance to breathe. FOHERE describes its unit as air cooled, and every pick in this set uses a compressor that dumps heat somewhere. Boxing one into a sealed cabinet with no gap around it throttles output and shortens compressor life. ## 5\. FOHERE Commercial Ice Maker Machine — Most versatile **400 lbs/24H and a 250 lb bin, with the most complete published install kit in this set.** [![FOHERE 400 lb commercial ice machine with touchscreen and 250 lb bin — the tallest cabinet here at 65 inches](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41dy4uNVnDL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GZW3XGWV?tag=sbclearly-20) **Best for:** a bar juggling cocktail ice and bulk chilling **Skip it if:** your ceiling or alcove is under 65 inches The FOHERE is the pick I'd point a bar owner at when the demand is real but not hotel-scale. It publishes 400 lbs/24H, a 250 lbs stainless bin, and 132 cubes in 8-15 minutes. Combine 400 lbs of daily production with 250 lbs of storage and you get something the smaller picks cannot offer: a deep reserve that refills fast, so a Friday rush and a Saturday event both get served. FOHERE claims polypropylene foam insulation holding ice for 8+ hours, an LCD touchscreen with adjustable cycle time and scheduling, food-grade stainless construction, and a four-step install with a water filter, inlet and drainage hoses in the box. That included filter is worth noting, because most picks here leave filtration to you. Then there's the size. At 65 x 33.5 x 22.3 in it is the tallest unit in this set by nearly ten inches, and 144 lb makes it a two-person move. It publishes no model number and no warranty, which is a thinner sheet than the EUHOMY offers for far less money. It also sells slowest among the four larger machines. You are buying capacity and an install kit, not documentation. **Pros:** - 400 lbs/24H with a 250 lbs stainless bin - Water filter and hoses included per the listing - 132 cubes stated per 8-15 minute cycle - Insulation claimed to hold ice 8+ hours - Touchscreen with scheduling **Cons:** - Tallest cabinet here at 65 in - 144 lb makes install a two-person job - No model number or warranty published - Slowest seller among the large units [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GZW3XGWV?tag=sbclearly-20) ## 6\. VEVOR Commercial Ice Maker Machine — Best for families **Same 250 lb bin as the FOHERE in a cabinet more than 25 inches shorter.** [![VEVOR LRM-F360AB brushed stainless ice machine with touchscreen — 360 lbs daily output from a 39.3-inch tall cabinet](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41dy4uNVnDL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GZW3XGWV?tag=sbclearly-20) **Best for:** a large household or event space with occasional peaks **Skip it if:** you cannot move a 147.7 lb cabinet into place Compare the LRM-F360AB to the FOHERE directly and the case makes itself. VEVOR publishes 360 lbs/24H against 400, and an identical 250 lbs bin, but its cabinet measures 39.3 x 28.7 x 22 in. That is 25.7 inches shorter and 4.8 inches narrower than the FOHERE. For a garage, a basement bar or a large kitchen where a 65-inch tower is a non-starter, that difference decides it. VEVOR credits the unit with 156 ice trays, a 12-15 minute cycle, insulation cotton over a galvanized sheet casing, and a touchscreen handling thickness and one-touch self-cleaning. Ice thickness here is set by changing cycle time rather than a numbered scale, which is less precise than the Tehanld's -5 to 5 range but simple enough. The weight is the problem. At 147.7 lb this is the heaviest unit with a published figure, more than three times the Mojgar CIM-360F. It also carries the second-highest price position in this set while producing 400 lbs less per day than the top unit, and it publishes no warranty. Two sellers list it, which is more than any other pick here, but that is thin consolation for the missing paperwork. **Pros:** - 250 lbs bin in a 39.3 in tall cabinet - 360 lbs/24H daily output - 156 ice trays claimed - Touchscreen with one-touch self-cleaning - Listed by more than one seller **Cons:** - Heaviest published weight here at 147.7 lb - No warranty term stated - Thickness set by cycle time, not a numbered scale - High price position for less output than the premium pick [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GFLSZ68C?tag=sbclearly-20) ## 7\. Mojgar Commercial Ice Maker Machine — Best premium **760 lbs/24H and a 650 lb bin put this in a different weight class from everything else here.** [![Mojgar 760 lb commercial ice machine with LCD panel above a 650 lb insulated storage bin — nearly double the output of any other pick](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41chfmIPQ9L._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H7BNJV3K?tag=sbclearly-20) **Best for:** a restaurant, hotel or seafood counter with all-day demand **Skip it if:** you have less than 36 inches of width Nothing else in this set is close. The Mojgar 7031754-88 publishes 760 lbs/24H, which is 360 lbs more per day than the FOHERE and more than seven times the two entry units. Its 650 lbs bin is 2.6 times the largest other reserve here. If your operation goes through ice from breakfast prep to last call, this is the only pick on the list that keeps up without a bagged-ice backup plan. It also has the finest control of the seven. Mojgar states 30 adjustable thickness levels against the Tehanld's 10, an LCD panel with a timer, automatic self-cleaning, and an external PP cotton filter to keep sediment out of the water system. The bin is described as multi-layer stainless steel with thick insulation. The costs are real. It is the most expensive pick here, its cabinet measures 55.3 x 36 x 22.2 in, and 36 inches of width is more than many service doorways allow. It publishes no weight at all, which for a machine this size is the specification you most want before install day, and no warranty either. Only one seller lists it, and it is the slowest seller of the seven. Buy it because your volume demands 760 lbs, not because bigger sounds safer. **Pros:** - 760 lbs/24H, nearly double the next-highest output - 650 lbs insulated storage bin - 30 thickness levels, the most here - External PP cotton filter included per the listing - LCD panel with timer and auto self-cleaning **Cons:** - Most expensive pick in this set - No published weight, awkward for install planning - 36 in wide cabinet needs a clear path in - No warranty term stated - Slowest seller of the seven [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H7BNJV3K?tag=sbclearly-20) ## What more money buys in this set The price ladder here tracks output and bin size almost perfectly, which makes the decision cleaner than in most appliance categories. At the entry positions you get the two 100 lbs/24H undercounter units and the 200 lbs/24H Tehanld. Small footprints, 18-33 lbs of storage, and the only published warranty in the whole set. The cheapest pick here is also the lightest and smallest. In the middle sits the VEVOR LB200TA at 265 lbs/24H with 55-85 lbs of storage. This is the fit-and-capacity compromise: more than double the entry output, still installable under a counter. At the top, the three premium-position machines all bring bins measured in hundreds of pounds. The FOHERE and VEVOR 360 share a 250 lbs bin, and the premium Mojgar jumps to 650 lbs. What extra money does not buy in this set is documentation. Six of the seven publish no warranty term, and the one that does is the second-cheapest pick. Higher spend gets you output, storage and finer thickness control, not a longer guarantee. ## The verdict If you need ice for a home bar, a small café or a taproom, buy the Mojgar CIM-360F. It delivers 100 lbs/24H from a 29.9 x 15.2 x 15.8 in cabinet weighing 42.3 lb, which no other pick matches, and it is the cheapest of the seven. If you run a restaurant, hotel or seafood counter that pulls ice all day, buy the Mojgar 760LBS/24H instead. Its 650 lbs bin and 760 lbs/24H output are the only figures in this set built for continuous commercial demand. The cutoff is roughly 150 lbs of ice a day. Below it, the undercounter machines cover you and the small bin never becomes a problem. Above it, production rate stops being the constraint and reserve capacity takes over, which is when a 250 lb or 650 lb bin earns its footprint. The EUHOMY IM-02 has one advantage neither Mojgar can answer: it is the only pick here with a published warranty, at 1 year manufacturer, plus a claimed ETL certification for commercial use. If a stated warranty term is what lets you sign off on the purchase, it is the machine to buy, and its 100 lbs/24H output matches the winner exactly. ## What these listings do not tell you Four gaps show up across this set, and each one is worth a question before you commit. - **Noise levels.** Not one listing publishes a decibel figure. Several describe quiet compressors, but there is no number to compare, so treat placement near a dining room as a risk. - **Power draw and voltage.** Two picks claim energy certifications, and one claims an annual saving, but no unit publishes wattage or voltage. Check that before wiring a large cabinet. - **Ambient temperature limits.** Output ratings assume favourable conditions. A machine in a hot back kitchen will fall short of its label, and none of these listings states the test conditions. - **Filter and cleaning consumables.** Two picks mention an included filter. None publishes a replacement interval or a part number, so budget time to find out. The premium Mojgar's missing weight figure deserves special mention. It is the largest cabinet here, and the one specification you need to plan a delivery and install for is not published. ## FAQ ### Is a commercial grade ice maker worth it for home use? A commercial grade ice maker is worth it at home if you host regularly or want clear cubes on demand, and the two 100 lbs/24H undercounter units here are the sensible entry point at 42.3 lb and 66.6 lb. Skip it if a freezer tray covers your needs, because these machines require a water inlet and a gravity drain. ### Which is cheaper to run, a small or large ice machine? Cheaper to run generally means matching output to demand rather than buying big. A 760 lbs/24H machine cycling constantly for a household wastes energy, while an undersized unit runs flat out and never catches up. Two picks here claim energy certifications, the Tehanld listing ETL and DOE, but no unit publishes a wattage figure to compare directly. ### Do these ice makers need a floor drain? These ice makers need drainage, and EUHOMY states its IM-02 uses gravity drainage with no pump included, so a floor drain or gravity outlet is required. Mojgar describes attaching a drain hose on the CIM-360F alongside a 1/2-inch male threaded water inlet. Confirm your drain situation before ordering any unit in this category. ### Mojgar CIM-360F or EUHOMY IM-02: which should I buy? Between the CIM-360F and the IM-02, both produce 100 lbs/24H. The Mojgar wins on size and weight at 29.9 x 15.2 x 15.8 in and 42.3 lb, plus a lower price position. The EUHOMY answers with the only published warranty here, 1 year manufacturer, a 33 lbs bin and a claimed ETL certification. ### What is the most common mistake buying a commercial grade ice maker? The most common mistake buying a commercial grade ice maker is reading only the daily output figure and ignoring bin capacity. A 200 lbs/24H machine with a 33 LBS bin hands you 33 lbs at once during a rush. The 250 lbs and 650 lbs bins on the larger picks here exist for exactly that reason. Start with an honest count of how much ice a busy day actually consumes, then measure the height and width of the space and confirm your drain. Those three numbers point at one machine, usually before price enters the conversation. For most buyers that machine is the Mojgar CIM-360F, because 100 lbs a day from the smallest and lightest cabinet in this set is a genuinely hard combination to beat. If your day looks more like all-day service, the 760 lbs/24H Mojgar and its 650 lb bin is the one that will not leave you buying bagged ice on a Saturday night. *Last updated: October 5, 2026\.
