The Koolaire KYT1700N-261 is a commercial remote-condenser ice machine, rated up to 1490 lb of ice per 24 hours. That 1490 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 uses a remote condenser, exhausting heat outside for a quieter, cooler room. It is ENERGY STAR certified. Plan on a water filter — most manufacturers require it and hard water cuts production and machine life.
