I consider myself a bit of a home bar enthusiast, and after investing in good whiskey and glassware, the last logical upgrade was the ice. I was tired of cloudy, quickly-melting cubes from trays, so I took a leap and bought the Euhomy Commercial Sphere Ice Ball Maker. It promised those crystal-clear, slow-melting spheres you get at high-end bars, and it’s completely transformed my cocktail game.
The Ice Quality and Production
The quality of the ice is genuinely professional. The machine produces perfectly round, crystal-clear spheres that melt incredibly slowly, meaning my bourbon stays chilled and undiluted for the entire time I enjoy the drink. The machine makes about 4 spheres every 38 to 40 minutes, which sounds slow, but the overall daily output of 150 pieces is massive. I run it in batches, and since the basket stores about 56 spheres, I can quickly build up a freezer stash. This continuous, high-volume production is why it feels "commercial"—it ensures I’m always ready for a large gathering or a spontaneous whiskey night without ever touching a mold or a tray.
Convenience and Maintenance
The setup offers great flexibility. While I chose to use the built-in water reservoir for now, the option to connect it directly to a water line for non-stop production is a brilliant feature for a true home bar integration. The self-cleaning function is a lifesaver for hygiene, activated by a simple long-press of a button. Since using distilled water is crucial for clear ice, I run the self-clean cycle frequently to maintain purity and prevent scaling.
I appreciate the intelligent features like the GlacioLock technology (which helps insulate and slow melt once the basket is full) and the transparent window that lets me check the ice level. The unit itself, in black, is certainly large—it demands dedicated counter space—but it looks sleek and powerful, like a true piece of high-end kitchen equipment.
This Euhomy ice maker is definitely overkill if you only need a handful of cubes, but if you love hosting, appreciate premium whiskey and cocktails, and want an endless supply of perfect, slow-melting, crystal-clear ice spheres, this machine is a game-changing luxury worth every penny.
