I'm in love with this portable ice maker that churns out buckets of ice in just 5 minutes
"I got to take a look at the Ice Leopard X1 at CES, and it's a surprisingly slim machine, with a similar countertop footprint to a coffee maker. You can remove the ice bucket and put a lid on it, which a company representative said will keep it cold for four hours. Filling the bucket completely takes about an hour."
"The Ice Leopard X1 will be available in April, and will cost $150, which struck me as low for a machine like this compared to similar kitchen gadgets on the market. The metal base comes in four colors, while the bucket comes in eight colors. The bucket is dishwasher safe, which is always a nice bonus. This isn't the only quick ice maker we saw at CES this year: Govee also unveiled a 6-minute nugget ice maker, the GoveeLife Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro , at CES 2026,"
The Ice Leopard X1 makes nine bullet ice cubes (about one cup) in five minutes, claiming a very fast portable ice-making speed. The unit has a slim countertop footprint similar to a coffee maker and a removable ice bucket with a lid that keeps ice cold for up to four hours. Filling the bucket completely takes about an hour. The metal base is offered in four colors and the bucket in eight, and the bucket is dishwasher safe. The Ice Leopard X1 will be available in April for $150. A larger, more sophisticated Govee nugget ice maker at CES retails for about $500.
