About Newair
Luke and Mariella Peters started Newair in 2001 with a desire to build a company based on their family values. This mission can be traced back to stories from the early days, such as when Mariella chased down a UPS truck, kids in tow, because the garage did not have a UPS pickup and she wanted to make sure customers received their orders. Newair, like its founders, has a “whatever it takes” mentality.

I started out using bags of ice from the store, which works OK. Then I decided that it would be nice to have an icemaker in the house, so I looked at portable ice makers. I'm not sure how difficult it would be to run a water line to where the refrigerator is and really don't want to go to that much trouble since I do rent this house. A portable ice maker is easy to set up and can go with me when I move.
Having had an excellent experience with the NewAir AIC-210 Commercial Grade 1 Quart Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker , I put the NewAir brand at the top of my list when I looked at portable ice makers. I finally settled on the Newair AI-215SS Stainless Steel Portable Ice Maker with 50 Lbs. Daily Capacity because I liked its features and I liked it's high daily capacity.
The unit has a self-cleaning cycle, which I very much appreciate. My sister used to have a portable ice maker, but it did not self-clean and she said it was really difficult to do manually with her model (I don't know what brand she had.) I put the self-cleaning cycle on, using the manual's recommended solution of one part water to one part white vinegar. After running it through a cleaning cycle with the vinegar solution, I ran a cycle with clear water to `rinse' it. The procedure is very similar to using a vinegar solution to clean a coffeemaker. After both the vinegar solution cycle and the fresh water cycle, I set the appliance on the edge of the kitchen sink, aiming the drain plug to empty the unit into the sink. At the end, I had to tilt the ice maker a little to get the last of the liquid out. Draining it might be a little easier if the drain plug were placed underneath the unit, but I'm not sure if that is mechanically feasible. Still, it wasn't hard to drain it, although I do think there is room for improvement.
Once it had been freshly cleaned, I filled it with fresh water and set it to make medium-sized ice cubes. The window on the top lid allows you to watch it make ice cubes, which is only exciting for about a minute. Mostly it is nice to simply see what stage the cycle is in. The ice maker comes with a basket to catch the ice in after it has made, and an ice scoop for serving it. Both of these items can be run through the dishwasher on the top rack, but they were also very easy to hand wash.
I filled a couple of large zip style bags with ice ( Hefty One Zip 2.5 Gallon Jumbo Bags 16ct (pack of 2) ) and stored one in the upright freezer in the garage and the other in the kitchen freezer for serving. The bags are easy to handle and can be zipped up to protect the ice. I also like that I can write the date I made the ice on the bags.
The maker produces bullet-shaped `cubes' that fit nicely in most glasses and work wonderfully in most drinks.
You can use this maker during parties if you want to keep ice going throughout the party rather than make a few batches beforehand.
While this machine does make ice cubes, it does not keep them frozen after it has made them. However, as the ice melts in the basket, holes in the basket allow the water to drain back into the water reservoir, recycling it to make another batch of ice bullets.
I am very pleased with this ice maker. It does everything I want and has proven very reliable so far. The only thing that would make it easier to make ice would be if it could be connected to a water line, but I really didn't want that feature because it would have required an installation I'd need help with. With the AI-215SS, I was able to unbox it and go with no assistance from anyone.
To reiterate, this makes refrigerator based icemaker's look like a child's toy. It is a remarkable well-designed well-made piece of equipment that sits on the countertop requiring only occasional water. It is easy to clean out easy to maintain quiet end effective and I just don't have enough superlatives to say about both the icemaker and the company. By the way, I have used two lesser icemakers ordered from Amazon over the last couple of years and there is not even the remotest comparison. This is not the cheapest model but it is by far the best value
