SOZT 160LBS/24H High Output - Commercial Ice Maker Machine - 55…

The SOZT 160LBS/24H High Output - Commercial Ice Maker Machine - 55 Clear Ice Cubes/Round (11-20 Mins), 35LBS Storage, Stainless Steel Undercounter/Freestanding for Home/Bar/Outdoor is a 160 lbs/24h under-counter ice maker with a 35 lb storage bin, sold by SOZT on Amazon under ASIN B0FDWTPT1H, sold as model WQJR-CL55. Everything on this page is read off that listing — the specification table, the bullets and the photographs are SOZT's own, and the comparisons are against the rest of SOZT's range rather than against a marketing claim.

It was out of stock on Amazon when we last checked, on 2026-09-08. Availability on Amazon moves; the listing link on this page is live either way, so it is worth a look before writing it off. Within SOZT's under-counter ice makers it is the 13th most-reviewed of 13, and 12 of those 15 are still sold.

How it compares with SOZT's other under-counter ice makers

At 160 lbs a day it sits in the middle: 1 model make more, 13 make less.

Sizing it: output against bin

This one is rated at 160 lbs of ice in 24 hours into a 35 lb bin. Those two numbers are what decide whether it suits you, and the second is the one people skip. At its rated rate the bin fills in roughly 5.2 hours from empty, and a full bin stops the machine — so the daily figure is a ceiling you only reach if ice is being taken out steadily.

For a home bar or a small café that is usually fine: ice is drawn through the day and the machine keeps up. For a service that empties the bin in one rush — a lunch trade, an event — the bin is the number to buy on, not the output, because the machine cannot make the next 35 lbs any faster than its rating.

Two things worth knowing about every machine in this class. The rated output assumes a cool room and cold supply water; a hot kitchen in August will not hit the number on the box. And none of these are freezers — the bin is insulated, not refrigerated, so ice left in it melts and is remade, which is where the running cost goes.

Across the under-counter ice makers SOZT still sells, output runs from 100 to 450 lbs a day — Under Counter Ice Maker Machine… at the bottom and 450Lbs/24H Under Counter… at the top. The full range is on the SOZT Under-Counter Ice Makers page.
