Scotsman NU130GA-1A Review

Under Counter Ice Maker  8.5/10

By


Scotsman NU130GA-1AIf you’re a fan of restaurant-style nugget ice, which keeps soft drinks refreshingly cold, then you’ll appreciate the Scotsman nugget ice maker with 125 pounds of daily ice production. The machine, running at $2,499, is quite efficient, too, using about 40 percent less energy and 50 percent less water than similar models. The ice maker has a reversible door with a polished horizontal handle across the top. The inside contains simple controls that make regulating the temperature easy. The machine has to be installed over a gravity drain, but otherwise it’s easy to install this model either under a counter or as a freestanding unit.
