Orien FS-55IM Review

Under Counter Ice Maker  7.5/10

By


Orien FS-55IMFor $1,055.70, this Orien undercounter ice maker can produce up to 44 pounds of ice a day. Its removable storage bin holds 25 pounds. Installation can be tricky if you don’t have a gravity drain nearby; you may have to buy a low-profile pump to pull the water to a sink or drain. However, this ice maker produces clear ice fairly quickly and without too much noise. Its reversible stainless steel door looks sleek and polished next to the cabinets or standing alone.
