A:AnswerThe XPIO23SWOW has a large capacity that can hold up to 3lbs (48 ounces) of ice at one time. You'll need to refill the water once the Opal runs out of water and stops producing ice . The side tank accessory can yield up to 2 times more ice and avoid the need for frequent refills with the added capacity of an included 0.75 gallons (96 ounces).
A:AnswerThis unit does not store ice, as the ice bin is not refrigerated and will not keep ice if the unit is turned off. As ice melts, the water is then recirculated back into the reservoir to make new ice. As long as the unit is powered on and has water, it will continue to make fresh ice.
