We compared two countertop ice makers: the EUHOMY Countertop Ice Maker and the TANGZON 15kg/24H Ice Maker Machine.
What we looked at
Daily ice output, thickness control, and price.
The verdict
If you want the lower price on a compact machine producing up to 12kg of ice a day in two sizes, the EUHOMY is the value pick at £67.99. If you would rather pay £61.91 more for up to 15kg a day with 13 thickness settings and a 24-hour timer, the TANGZON is the alternative, at £129.90, though only 14 were left in stock when checked.
