OYLUS Clear Ice Maker CE0316 Review

Intro

If you want crystal-clear, slow-melting ice for cocktails, whiskey, or iced coffee without fuss, the OYLUS CE0316 positions itself as a countertop solution with some pro-level features. The listing emphasizes 1.2" jelly-style cubes, ten adjustable size levels, a one-button self-clean cycle, and smart indicators for full-ice and low-water states. Owner feedback highlights fast cycles, a solid stainless-steel scoop/tong, and a compact footprint that fits small counters.

What it is / first look

The OYLUS CE0316 is a freestanding countertop ice maker described in the listing as a stainless-steel unit with a 1.6L water tank and an adjustable ice-size system. The listing calls out the ability to make eight 1.2-inch jelly-style cubes in about 20 minutes (the listing also notes the first batch can take about 23 minutes) and a daily production capacity the listing states as up to 26 lbs (the specifications list ice production per day as 12 kg). Physical specs in the listing show a compact footprint: 9.8" deep × 16" wide × 15.6" high and an item weight of 23.4 pounds.

The control surface is an LCD panel with a blue interior light and status indicators — the listing highlights an ice full indicator, a low-water alert, and a 24-hour timer so you can schedule cycles. Included in the box, per the listing, are the ice maker itself, an ice tong, a warranty card, and a user manual. The listing also notes a 1-year manufacturer warranty and a listed wattage/voltage of 260 watts and 110 volts respectively. Refrigerant type listed is R290a and the manufacturer/model name is OYLUS CE0316.

In daily use

Owners repeatedly point to three everyday wins: speed, the quality of the included stainless-steel scoop/tong, and the convenience of self-cleaning and indicators. Multiple owners report the machine reaching a full set of eight solid, uniformly shaped jelly cubes in the roughly 20-minute cycle the listing advertises, and several mention the first batch timing (around 23 minutes) as a reasonable expectation.

Best for small kitchens & apartments

The CE0316’s compact dimensions and 23.4-pound weight make it easy to tuck onto a tight counter, a small home bar, or office kitchenette. The listing describes the body as space-saving and owners confirm that it doesn’t dominate counter real estate. If you’re working with a small footprint and want better-than-traditional ice clarity, owner feedback suggests this unit behaves well in compact settings.

Home bar, cocktails, and single-serve drinks

The ice it makes is described in the listing as “crystal clear” jelly ice that melts slower than typical nugget or cloudy tray ice, and owners say the uniform 1.2" cubes look and perform well in drinks. The 10 adjustable ice-size levels give flexibility: the listing claims you can set thinner or thicker cubes for cocktails, smoothies, iced tea, or wine. Multiple owners appreciated the variety and that the cubes were consistently shaped.

Small gatherings and office use

Because the listing states a daily output of 12 kg (listed elsewhere in the product copy as up to 26 lbs), the unit can keep a small gathering supplied with ice across several cycles, provided you have the patience to refill water and empty the basket as it fills. Owner notes point to the ice-full indicator and low-water alert as features that reduce the babysitting load during casual entertaining.

Materials & build quality

The listing lists the material type as stainless steel; the product images and owner comments emphasize a stainless-steel look and a sturdy-feeling accessory set. Owners specifically praise the included stainless-steel scoop/tong, describing it as durable, well-weighted, resistant to odors, and comfortable to use. That accessory is a repeated positive theme in buyer feedback — a small but meaningful quality signal for everyday handling.

On the machine itself, the listing highlights an LCD touch panel and a blue interior light. Owners report the panel is easy to use and that the blue light makes monitoring simple in low light. The listing’s feature list also emphasizes the 1.6L water tank, the intermittent spray technology used to produce clearer jelly-style cubes, and the ability to make 8 ice cubes per cycle.

Hardware and finish notes you can rely on from the listing and owners:

• Material type is listed as stainless steel (manufacturer claim).
• Included components per the listing: ice maker, ice tong, warranty card, user manual.
• Owners say the included stainless-steel scoop/tong feels high quality and durable compared with plastic scoops they previously used.

Safety considerations

The listing calls out multiple safety-minded features: a low-water alert that notifies you when water is below the required level, and a self-cleaning cycle claimed to help prevent odors and build-up. The listing also states that the low-water alert “effectively prevents dry burning,” and owner feedback echoes that the alert is useful for avoiding motor strain. Those features reduce common failure modes that lead to damage in countertop ice makers.

The product specifications list refrigerant as R290a and electrical ratings as 260 watts at 110 volts. The listing does not include third-party safety certifications in the copy you were given here; if you need certification details (electrical or refrigerant-safe handling), verify those on the current manufacturer/listing documentation before purchase.

Owner feedback does not surface repeated safety complaints. Instead, owners highlight quiet operation, the clarity of status indicators, and the convenience of using the one-touch self-cleaning cycle. Still, because this is a refrigeration appliance, the usual cautions apply: follow the user manual for placement, use the listed electrical specs, and confirm any installation or disposal guidance the manufacturer provides for refrigerants and long-term service.

Who this is for / who should skip

The CE0316 is a fit for cooks and hosts who want better-looking, slower-melting ice without permanently dedicating freezer space or buying a high-capacity built-in unit. It’s pitched and reviewed by owners as a countertop machine aimed at home bars, small kitchens, offices, and casual entertaining.

Good fit if you:

• Want clear, uniform jelly-style cubes for cocktails, whiskey, iced coffee, and wine (the listing highlights crystal-clear, slow-melting ice).
• Have limited counter space — the listing dimensions are 9.8"D × 16"W × 15.6"H and the listing calls it compact and space-saving.
• Like the convenience of a one-touch self-cleaning cycle and smart indicators for full-ice and low-water (both are listed features and owner feedback highlights them).
• Appreciate included metal accessories — owners repeatedly praise the stainless-steel scoop/tong for durability.

Skip it if you:

• Need industrial or continuous high-volume ice for large parties all day — check the listed daily production (specs show 12 kg per day; the listing elsewhere mentions up to 26 lbs).
• Require a built-in or under-counter design — this is a countertop model with a small footprint.
• Need confirmed certification documentation for refrigerants or electrical safety and that documentation is not available to you — the listing includes refrigerant type R290a and electrical specs, so verify manufacturer literature if that’s critical.

Verdict

The OYLUS CE0316 is positioned as a compact, feature-rich countertop ice maker that aims at home hosts and cocktail lovers who want professional-looking ice without committing freezer space. The listing’s core claims — crystal-clear jelly cubes, 1.2" cube size, an adjustable 10-level size control, an indicated 8-cube cycle time of roughly 20 minutes (first cycle around 23 minutes), a 1.6L tank, and a daily production figure listed as up to 26 lbs (specs show 12 kg) — are backed in owner feedback by consistent notes on speed, reliable indicators, and the quality of the included stainless-steel scoop/tong.

Strengths called out by multiple owners: fast cycle speed for a home unit, clear and attractive ice, a compact footprint, quiet operation, useful LCD indicators, and a high-quality stainless-steel scooper/tong included in the box. The one-button self-cleaning function is specifically appreciated by owners as reducing maintenance friction; several reviews describe that cycle as effective and easy to run.

What to watch for: the listing includes refrigerant R290a and the electrical specs (260W / 110V), and the warranty is a manufacturer 1-year warranty as listed. The listing does not supply third-party certification details in the product copy you were given here, so buyers who need certification documentation should verify that material on the current listing or with the manufacturer. Also, if your household needs truly heavy-duty, continuous ice production, compare the listed per-day production (12 kg / listed up to 26 lbs) to your expected demand before committing.

Check before you buy (quick checklist)

• Confirm the dimensions (9.8"D × 16"W × 15.6"H) will fit your intended counter or bar spot.
• Verify your outlet matches the listed electrical specs (260 watts, 110 volts).
• Note the listed refrigerant (R290a) and consult the manufacturer/user manual for handling, placement, and disposal guidance.
• Check that the included accessories meet your expectations (the listing lists an ice tong; owners report a durable stainless-steel scoop/tong).
• Confirm the manufacturer 1-year warranty and keep the warranty card/user manual that come in the box.
• Decide whether the listed daily production (specs: 12 kg per day; listing also cites up to 26 lbs) fits your entertaining needs.
