Fill the reservoir, plug it in, and you've got fresh cubes in minutes. Perfect for the boat galley, the dock, or the RV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIce runs out fast on a boat. You load the cooler before you leave the dock, and by mid-afternoon it's slush. The MagicChef MCIM27B is a portable countertop ice maker that solves that without a plumbed-in fridge or a run back to the marina. Fill the reservoir, plug it in, and it starts turning out fresh cubes in minutes. No water line, no drain hookup, no install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what it does. It produces up to 27 pounds of ice a day, nine cubes at a time, and holds up to 1.5 pounds in the storage bin ready to scoop. That's plenty for a day of drinks, a cooler top-off, or keeping the day's catch chilled. When the bin fills up, the unit pauses on its own. When the water runs low, an indicator light tells you to top it off. You're not babysitting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe controls are about as simple as it gets. An easy-touch control pad runs the whole thing, and two indicator lights keep you honest, one for ice level and one for water level. A viewing window on the front means you can see how much ice you've got without lifting the lid. Glance at it, know where you stand, keep the day going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere does it fit? On a boat, it lives in the galley of a mid-size cruiser or a houseboat where you've got counter space and shore power or an inverter. The footprint is small, 8.7 inches wide, 11.6 inches deep, and 11.4 inches tall, so it tucks onto a counter without eating the whole surface. It's just as at home at the dock, in the RV, in a lake house, or on the tailgate. Anywhere you've got a standard outlet and want ice without hauling bags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA word on how portable ice makers work, because it matters for how you'll use this one. The MCIM27B makes ice, it doesn't keep ice frozen long-term like a freezer. The storage bin is insulated, but it isn't refrigerated, so cubes that sit will slowly melt back down. That meltwater recirculates into the reservoir and gets refrozen, so nothing's wasted, but if you want a big reserve you scoop the ice into a cooler as it's made. Think of it as a steady supply machine, not a deep freeze. For most boaters that's exactly right. You make ice through the day and move it to the cooler or the drink bin as you go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow much ice is 27 pounds a day, really? For a couple out for the afternoon, it's more than you'll touch. For a full boat of six or eight people drinking through a hot Saturday, it keeps up if you scoop into a cooler and let it rebuild between rounds. The nine-cube cycle turns over quick, so the bin refills faster than you'd think. Plan on making ice ahead in the morning, banking a cooler's worth, and letting the machine top you up through the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleanup and storage were clearly thought through. There's an integrated water drain cap on the unit, so at the end of a trip you pull the cap, drain the reservoir completely, and wipe it dry before you stow it. That keeps standing water from going stale in a closed-up boat over the week. Drain it, dry it, done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is black, which hides fingerprints and galley grime better than a bright white box and looks at home next to most boat and RV interiors. The MCIM27B is a MagicChef, a brand that's been building home kitchen gear for decades, so the build is straightforward and the parts are what you'd expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCouple of honest notes so you buy right. This runs on standard household AC power, so on the water you need shore power, a generator, or an inverter sized to handle a compressor start-up load. It's not a 12-volt unit. And it's a countertop machine, so it wants a level, stable surface, not a cockpit sole that's pitching in a chop. Set it up at anchor, at the dock, or on a calm day and it'll keep the cubes coming. For weekend cruisers, liveaboards at the slip, and anybody tired of paying marina ice prices, it earns its counter space fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduces up to 27 lbs of ice a day so a full day on the water stays cold\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNine cubes per cycle, ready in minutes, no run back to the marina ice machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5 lb insulated storage bin holds a batch ready to scoop\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEasy-touch control pad with indicator lights for ice-full and water-low\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFront viewing window lets you check the ice level without lifting the lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated water drain cap makes end-of-trip cleanup and storage simple\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 8.7 in wide by 11.6 in deep footprint fits a galley counter or dock cart\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo plumbing or water line, just fill the reservoir and plug into standard AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish hides fingerprints and suits most boat and RV interiors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized MagicChef reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow much ice does the MagicChef MCIM27B make?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eUp to 27 pounds a day, nine cubes per cycle, with a storage bin that holds up to 1.5 pounds ready to scoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eDoes it need a water line or plumbing?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNo. It's a portable countertop unit.
