Portable Ice Make Question

I was just reading a thread about portable ice makers and had a specific question and did not want to hi-jack the thread.

If a portable ice maker claims it makes 33 pounds of ice in 24 hours and the ice bucket is 2.5 lbs, does this mean that once the bucket is full it stops making ice?

For example if I fill it up first thing in the morning and leave all day and come back at dinner time I should not expect more than 2.5 pounds of ice?

Curious.

  • I think how it works is that if you keep filing it up with water and removing the ice from the bucket every cycle it could potentially make 33 pounds a day. This spec speaks to the rate at which it can make ice...
