Sanitary Design

Because it dispenses ice right into the cup, it eliminates cross-contamination by removing scooping from the equation! The AgION antimicrobial treatment built into key ice contact areas helps to further minimize health risks.

Ample Storage Capacity

This ice machine is designed to produce up to 260 lb. of ice per day with a 12 lb. storage capacity.

Durable Construction

Featuring a stainless steel evaporator and exterior panels, this dispenser ensures durability and long-lasting use in your establishment.

Nugget Ice

Nugget ice is slow-melting and easy to chew, making it preferable to the cube-style ice found in most machines.

Quiet Operation

The Meridian's® improved internal components provide a more quiet operation, helping reduce the noise level in your facility.

Compact Size

With its small footprint, you can rely on this combination ice and water dispenser to make the most of limited counter space or floor space when used with a dedicated equipment stand (sold separately). Its specially designed contoured sides ensure greater breathability in tight spaces and allow the use of an external air filter.

Easy Cleaning and Maintenance

A large, removable sink and grill along with a large dispensing area make it easier to clean the hard-to-reach places. Plus, this unit features an intuitive LED diagnostic light system to reduce service times, and a convenient USB drive for quick software updates.

Great machine. Compact and quiet. There is an easy on/off switch hidden in the front that allows us to turn off the sensors when cleaning the machine. I only wish we had an option to switch between shredded ice and slightly larger cubes.

Very poor build quality. left over parts inside the machine. Multiple leaking internal fittings mostly because they were only finger tight. The clinch nuts, where used were poorly installed and turned when the screw was inserted. Half of the sheet metal screws were stripped and needed to be replaced. All of the screws for packaging were cross threaded and damaged the clinch nuts and had to be re-tapped. 2 of 4 internal ice maker bolts are cross threaded. These cannot be fixed because the refrigeration lines block them. Half of the enclosure screws that go into clinch nuts were cross threaded and needed to be repaired. If this was made in China or India I could understand but made in the USA and priced at over $, no way. Lastly the water dispense does not work from the fron panel. Either this was a return or Scottsman has big problems.

Thank you for your review, Sean! Our Customer Solutions team has been in touch with you about this ice machine. If you have any further questions, please contact Customer Solutions.

Works well. Came shipped low on refrigerant apparently as we had to have a service call from Scotsman right away to make it produce enough ice; not a fault of webstaurantstore.

Good machine for a small office. Capacity usually keeps up as secondary ice maker for large office area. It makes the crushed ice that you get in many restaurants. It can be a little difficult reading clear acrylic cups or glass. The trick is to hold hand around the cup to create shadow, it will dispense just fine. Note, these machines are not water coolers, just water dispensers, you want to get ice first then water to chill it.

I like this ice machine and water dispenser. Easy to use and install. Make sure you check the drain tube in the machine before installing it! Mine had come loose during shipment and leaked water after being installed. An easy fix, but it took a little while to figure out the problem.
