Overview and Features
Naixer TH-260B Compact Ice Machine – 260 lb/Day Full Cube Ice Maker
Every day, the TH-260B produces up to 260 lbs (118 kg) of hard, 22×22×22mm full cube ice — the kind of ice that melts slowly, keeps drinks cold without watering them down, and looks as good in a whiskey glass as it does in a takeout cup. All of that ice lands in a built-in 45 kg (100 lb) insulated storage bin that’s part of the machine, not a separate purchase. There’s no external bin to match, no hidden line item on the invoice, no second installation to schedule. One power connection, one water line, one drain — and you’re making ice.
Three things that define the TH-260B’s value from day one:
Self-contained design with no hidden storage bin cost. Modular ice systems from brands like Hoshizaki and Manitowoc often list the ice head at one price and the compatible storage bin at another — adding $800 to $2,000 to the total. The TH-260B includes its bin right in the chassis. You pay once, install once.
Full cube ice that works across your entire beverage program. The 22×22×22mm cubes are hard, clear, and slow-melting — ideal for spirits at the bar, soft drinks in the dining room, iced coffee at the counter, and bagged ice for retail.
A 3-year full machine warranty covering core systems and key components. Where many compact ice machines in this capacity class ship with only 12 months of coverage, the TH-260B protects your investment through the years when repairs are most likely to occur.
Built for Tight Spaces, Without Compromising on Ice Quality
The machine stands 920 mm tall, which means it fits comfortably under many commercial bar counters and prep tables that offer at least 940–960 mm of clearance. For standard 34-inch (864 mm) residential-height counters, it works best as a freestanding unit placed beside or between other equipment — still compact, still accessible, just not hidden entirely beneath the countertop. Wherever it sits, the front-accessible control panel and bin door make daily scooping and periodic maintenance straightforward.
The air-cooled condenser uses no water for heat rejection, which keeps monthly utility bills predictable. And because the R290 refrigerant system is both energy-efficient and environmentally responsible — with a lower global warming potential than traditional HFC refrigerants — the TH-260B runs clean without sacrificing cooling performance. If you’re comparing this machine against others in its class, our 2026 ice machine price guide breaks down the total cost of ownership differences between self-contained and modular systems.
Full Cube Ice — The Shape That Works for Everything on Your Menu
A commercial ice machine lives and dies by the quality of the ice it produces. The TH-260B makes full cube ice — hard, crystal-clear, 22×22×22mm squares that chill drinks without turning them watery. This is the ice shape that works across an entire beverage program without forcing you to run multiple machines for different stations.
The 108-tray evaporator system produces consistent cubes batch after batch. Each freeze cycle is precisely controlled — not rushed — so the ice forms hard and clear, without the cloudy center or soft texture that signals a cheaper machine cutting corners on freeze time. When a customer orders a premium whiskey on the rocks, the ice in that glass should look as good as the spirit it’s chilling.
Because full cube ice melts slowly, you also use less of it per drink. The cubes hold their shape, displace liquid efficiently in the glass, and don’t force you to over-pour to compensate for rapid dilution. Over hundreds of drinks per night, that efficiency shows up in your beverage cost margin.
If you’re still evaluating which ice type best matches your menu and service style, our guide to commercial ice types walks through every option — full cube, half cube, nugget, flake, and crescent — with recommendations by industry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kind of ice does the TH-260B produce?
A: The TH-260B produces full cube ice — crystal-clear, hard, 22×22×22mm squares. This is the most versatile ice shape for bars, restaurants, and cafes. It melts slowly, keeps drinks cold without watering them down quickly, and works equally well in premium cocktails, soft drinks, and bagged retail ice.
Q: Can the TH-260B fit under a standard counter?
A: The TH-260B stands 920 mm (about 36.2 inches) tall. It fits comfortably under many commercial bar counters and prep tables with at least 940–960 mm of clearance. For standard 34-inch (864 mm) residential-height counters, it’s best positioned as a freestanding unit beside other equipment. If you need a machine that fits under a lower counter, the TH-280B compact ice machine offers a similar production capacity in a shorter cabinet.
Q: Does the TH-260B come with a storage bin, or do I need to buy one separately?
A: The storage bin is built right in. The TH-260B is a self-contained unit with a 45 kg (100 lb) insulated bin integrated into the chassis. You do not need to purchase a separate bin — unlike modular systems from Hoshizaki and Manitowoc that list the ice head and storage bin as two separate items.
Q: How does the TH-260B compare to a Manitowoc or Hoshizaki ice machine?
A: The TH-260B offers a self-contained design with a built-in bin, a 3-year full machine warranty, and factory-direct pricing. Comparable Hoshizaki and Manitowoc models in this capacity range are often modular, which means the storage bin is a separate purchase that adds $800 to $2,000 to the total cost. The TH-260B gives you similar daily output and warranty protection without the hidden bin expense.
Q: What does the 3-year warranty cover?
A: The 3-year full machine warranty covers core systems and key components — parts and labor — on the entire machine. This exceeds the 12-month coverage standard on many budget compact ice machines and matches or exceeds the base warranty of premium competitors.
