Tested by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute:The Best Countertop Ice Maker
New York, NY, October 1, 2010 - Hammacher Schlemmer announces The Best Countertop Ice Maker after it outperformed all other models in tests for ice making efficiency, ease of use, quietness, and features.
The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute is a not-for-profit corporation established in 1983 to research, test, and rate products objectively and without commercial bias. After extensive side-by-side comparison testing of leading products within a specific category, the Institute awards The Best title to the model that outperforms all other candidates.
The Best Countertop Ice Maker needed only eight minutes to make 12 ice cubes and made 18½ lbs. of ice in eight hours--56% more than a lesser model.
"The Best Countertop Ice Maker produced thick cubes that took three hours and fifteen minutes to completely melt and remained frozen longer than any other model's ice cubes," explained Sheri Camarata, Product Research Supervisor for the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute.
A decibel meter was used to measure the noise produced by each ice maker and The Best model did not even register a reading on the decibel meter, far superior to other units that produced up to 24.8 decibels of noise
Earning a perfect score for ease of use, The Best Countertop Ice Maker only requires the user to fill it with water, select an ice cube size, and push the start button to make ice. The Best Countertop Ice Maker freezes ice cubes in three different sizes, it produces up to 33 lbs. in 24 hours, and has an automatic cleaning mode.
The Best Countertop Ice Maker is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $249.95. For more information, please visit www.hammacher.com/11742 or call 1-800-543-3366.
