The compact self-contained design of the Whynter gives any kitchen or workplace the convenience of dispensing ice and water from one system. In addition to efficiently making perfectly bullet-shaped ice cubes, this convenient 2-in-1 unit can make up to 26 lbs. of ice per day. This unit can hold up to 2 liters of water that can dispense as cold water (melted ice) or even room-temperature water with a simple push of a button. Always looking to make our appliances just a little better, we have designed an optional direct water connection function for this dispenser. The direct connection allows you the convenience of having a continuous supply of ice and water without having to refill the water reservoir!
