What makes this Tavata Portable Automatic Ice Maker Machine positively different from other available ice makers is it’s easy operation process. It offers an action panel which is more comfortable to use. It has clearly indicated buttons with their respective LED indicators.

3. Nickel-plated copper evaporator
You get your bunch of bullet ice in just 6 minutes from this Tavata Countertop Compact Portable Ice Maker, all thanks to its nickel-plated copper evaporators. One such best feature in this Tavata 26 lbs Ice Maker Review is its evaporator design.
There are 9 copper evaporators in this little countertop ice maker, which helps the water you fill in to get cooled and freeze with intense corrosion resistance and turn them into hollow, bullet-shaped ice cubes.

With the coating of nickel, these copper evaporators get even more effective in the process of quick ice making.
4. See-through window
A very prominent problem in many typical ice makers is that they get overflown and make a mess in the kitchen or any other place where they are situated. This Tavata countertop ice machine boasts a transparent window that allows you to peek through the cover and keep an eye on its ice level inside.
The see-through function is a great feature to have in any ice maker as you get to see when you need to take the ice bullets out of this machine. It also has integrated automatic overflow protection if you miss out on monitoring its ice level inside of this machine despite having a see-through window.
5. Ice size
When you invest your money exclusively in an ice maker, the main objective you want is to get quick access to ice cubes rather than depending on a refrigerator for the work. Hence, it is vital to make sure that you get the best out of your ice maker. A refrigerator can make regular sized ice cubes, but with this Tavata automatic ice maker, you can get two different sizes of ice cubes.
You can go for the small-sized ice by choosing “S” on its action panel, where it makes ice bullets ranging from 0.4 to 0.7 inches. On the other hand, you can choose the large ice cubes of 0.7 to 1.2 inches by selecting “L” on the action panel for multiple usage, like applying cuts and burns or preserving food items. Thus, this ability to choose desired cube sizes for all your different needs is an excellent option provided by this ice maker.

The rest of the process gets done independently without your manual interference from constantly checking on its progress. Furthermore, to simplify its operation, there is a timer just in case you need to set the duration of its process, keeping in mind how much ice you need.
7. Cleaning process
Cleaning an ice maker, at times, can be very tough and challenging. Cleaning anything as small as an ice maker is a not-so-easy task because you have to open the window and aim for the hard-to-reach spots inside it. Also, it takes a lot of time, and there’s a chance that you might get hurt while cleaning.

All you have to do is just fill in water in this ice maker and then turn its self-clean button on and witness how neatly your ice maker gets cleaned up all on its own.
