BT-210 Commercial Undercounter Ice Machine – 210 lb Compact Cube Ice Maker (Air-cooled)
Overview and Features
The Naixer BT-210 is a self-contained commercial undercounter ice machine engineered for busy cafes, bars, small restaurants, and hospitality spaces where reliable, high-volume cube ice production is non-negotiable but floor space is limited. It produces up to 210 lbs (95 kg) of crystal-clear 22×22×22mm cube ice per day, with a generous 51 kg (112 lb) built-in storage bin that keeps ready-to-use ice within arm‘s reach—all from under a standard counter.
In the foodservice industry, ice is a daily operational necessity. From restaurants and bars to hotels and cafés, a reliable commercial ice machine directly affects beverage quality, service speed, and customer satisfaction. Undercounter ice machines provide compact, efficient ice production for space-constrained commercial operations—fitting beneath counters while producing various ice types for different applications. These self-contained units are the smart choice for operations where the ice machine lives in the service area, not in a back hallway.
The BT-210 sits in a sweet spot of the undercounter category: substantially more daily output than entry-level 80 lb units, yet still compact enough to slide under a standard counter. For a busy gastro-pub, a high-volume coffee shop, or a 100-seat restaurant, this is the machine that keeps the well stocked through the dinner rush without occupying a square foot of precious floor space. Small to mid-size operations will find this output sufficient for their daily needs, handling approximately 300-500 iced beverages per shift.
BT-210 Product Specification
Key Features:
210 lb (95 kg) Daily Production: Enough for 300-500 iced beverages per shift—ideal for a busy gastro-pub, high-volume coffee shop, or mid-size restaurant. This capacity ensures continuous ice supply even during peak hours, preventing the dreaded “out of ice” moment during the dinner rush.
Crystal-Clear 22×22×22mm Full Cube Ice: Standard full cube ice that is the most common ice type in commercial operations. Full cube ice melts slowly, looks clean in any glass, and is highly versatile across soft drinks, iced coffee, cocktails, and blended beverages.
Generous 51 kg (112 lb) Built-in Storage Bin: A large insulated bin that keeps ice ready for peak demand without requiring constant machine cycling. The bin-to-production ratio ensures ample buffer during the busiest service periods.
Compact Undercounter Design (680×600×750mm): The BT-210 measures 680×600×750mm—roughly 26.8 inches wide, 23.6 inches deep, and 29.5 inches high. Fits beneath standard commercial counters while leaving ample clearance for ventilation, making it ideal for bars, cafes, and small kitchens where every inch counts.
Self-Cleaning Cycle: The built-in automatic cleaning function handles descaling and sanitizing with a single button press—no disassembly, no specialized training, no service call required. Regular cleaning every 6 months is recommended to maintain peak hygiene and ice quality.
R290 Refrigerant: Environmentally friendly hydrocarbon with ultra-low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3. As of January 1, 2026, self-contained air-cooled ice machines that produce 1,000 lbs of ice or less must use R290 refrigerant under the EPA‘s Technology Transition Rule. The BT-210 is fully compliant and future-ready, aligning with the industry-wide shift toward natural refrigerants for energy-efficient operation.
Durable Stainless Steel Construction: Robust stainless steel exteriors and food-grade internal components provide durability, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning. Commercial models feature durable construction, high production rates, and advanced features for demanding operations.
Why an Undercounter Ice Machine Makes Sense for Growing Operations
For small to mid-sized restaurants, bars, and cafes, an undercounter ice machine offers a combination of space efficiency, workflow convenience, and ice quality that larger modular systems or portable countertop units simply cannot match.
Fits where space is tight. Undercounter commercial ice machines are compact and ideal for operations that need serious output without sacrificing floor space. Specifically designed to fit beneath counters or in areas where floor space or height restrictions prohibit use of larger equipment. The BT-210‘s modest footprint slides under a standard counter while producing more than double the ice of entry-level units.
Ice where your staff actually needs it. An undercounter ice machine placed beneath the bar or directly beside the service well eliminates the constant back-and-forth trips to a distant ice machine in the back hallway. Bartenders scoop and pour in one motion. Coffee shop staff don’t leave the counter. Service flows smoothly instead of stuttering every time someone needs to restock the ice bin.
Professional ice at a cost-effective price point. Full cube ice is the most versatile and widely accepted ice type in foodservice. Undercounter ice machines are more compact and less expensive than modular ice machines, making them a popular choice for smaller businesses. With the BT-210, you get commercial-grade cube ice at a price that makes sense for independent operators—without sacrificing the daily output a busy service demands.
Designed for Restaurants, Bars, Cafes, and Small Hospitality Spaces
The BT-210 is purpose-built for environments where daily ice demand is substantial but square footage is at a premium. Its compact, self-contained design fits under standard counters in bars, restaurant kitchens, and hotel breakfast stations. Undercounter ice machines are most suitable for bars, cafés, small kitchens, and other settings where space is restricted but quality ice remains essential.
Small to Mid-Sized Restaurants & Gastro-Pubs: Reliable 210 lb daily output handles a full dinner service without breaking a sweat. Full cube ice chills cocktails, soft drinks, and iced teas effectively while maintaining a clean, professional presentation.
Bars & Cocktail Lounges: Keep ice directly under the bartender’s station. The BT-210 produces standard full cubes—the workhorse of the cocktail well—scooping cleanly, chilling effectively, and presenting beautifully in every glass.
Cafes & Coffee Shops: Iced lattes, americanos, and cold brew require consistent, clear cube ice. The BT-210 provides reliable daily output for a busy neighborhood cafe or small chain location.
Hotels & Motels: Ideal for breakfast buffet stations, poolside bars, and floor-by-floor ice service for smaller properties。Compact footprint fits in utility rooms and hallway alcoves.
When selecting a commercial undercounter ice machine, always choose a model with slightly higher capacity than your estimated daily requirement to avoid shortages during peak times. For larger operations requiring more than 300 lbs of ice per day, consider Naixer‘s modular TH-320C or TH-500C models. For operations with limited daily demand (under 100 lbs), the TH-80B or TH-150B may be a better fit.
