Hoshizaki KM-161BAK — Cube Undercounter Ice Machine, 23.8"W, 125 lb/day
The Hoshizaki KM-161BAK is a commercial self-contained undercounter ice machine that makes cube ice, rated up to 125 lb of ice per 24 hours. Cube ice is the default for bars and restaurants — slow-melting and clear in drinks. That 125 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 measures 23.8″ W × 28″ D × 39″ H with a built-in 78 lb storage bin. It is air-cooled — the simplest install, but it exhausts heat into the room and needs clearance. It is ENERGY STAR certified, NSF listed, wired for 115V. Manufacturer warranty: 3yr parts & labor; 5yr parts on compressor & condenser. Plan on a water filter — most manufacturers require it and hard water cuts production and machine life.
