EMPURA E-UCH280 commercial ice machine

The EMPURA E-UCH280 is a commercial self-contained undercounter ice machine, rated up to 207 lb of ice per 24 hours. That 207 lb/day figure is the AHRI rating (90°F air / 70°F water); real output runs lower in a hot kitchen, so size with headroom. It is air-cooled — the simplest install, but it exhausts heat into the room and needs clearance. It is ENERGY STAR certified. Plan on a water filter — most manufacturers require it and hard water cuts production and machine life.
