Every UAE summer kitchen has the same problem. You need ice for karak, laban, juice, and guests. Freezer trays take 4 hours and taste like old freezer.
We tested the EmiratBazar Ice Maker for one week in a Dubai apartment to see if AED 254.99 is worth it.
The Ice Maker :
Price AED 254.99. 90W ice making power, 165W de-icing, rated current 0.65A. UAE voltage 220-240V. Compact countertop size.
Test 1: Speed
- Ice tray: 3.5 to 4 hours for one tray of 18 cubes
- Ice maker: first 9 bullet cubes in 7 minutes. Full basket in about 55 minutes
Test 2: Power cost
At 90W for one hour, you use 0.09 kWh. At DEWA rates that is less than 0.05 AED per batch. Running it for a 3-hour family majlis costs less than a small water bottle.
Test 3: Taste and daily use
Bullet ice is hollow so it chills drinks faster and does not water down karak like big tray cubes. No freezer smell. Perfect for Ramadan iftar prep, summer pool parties, and daily iced coffee.
When to keep your tray:
If you use ice less than twice a month, save your money.
When the machine pays for itself:
- You host weekly
- You have kids who want slushies daily
- You cook with an air fryer and want less oil
Pair it with this: our 2 In 1 Glass Oil Spray Dispenser. Mist your air fryer basket for even cooking with less oil. It is the perfect healthy kitchen duo.
For UAE heat, if you make ice more than 3 times a week, the AED 254.99 Ice Maker is worth it. It arrives fast. Our review says "Good value, arrived in 2 days to Sharjah. Free shipping is included.
