Finished in professional-grade 304 stainless steel, this undercounter ice maker blends durability, performance, and clean aesthetics—making it an excellent choice for both outdoor kitchens and indoor wet bars.
Capable of producing up to 25 lbs of crescent-shaped ice per day, the BIM271OS is ideal for everyday entertaining, beverages, and light hosting.
