Our verdict

The Mojgar and SUNGDOGIN share the same 15.75 by 15.16 by 29.88 inch body, but the Mojgar publishes a 42.28 lb weight and the SUNGDOGIN does not publish one. The EUHOMY publishes 100 lbs per 24 hours with a 33 lb bin. The VEVOR publishes 120 lbs per day and a 48 hour timer. The FOHERE publishes over 500 lbs per day with a 350 lb storage bin, and the Tehanld publishes 200 lbs per day with a 33 lb bin.

“Production and storage are published. Performance is not.”

What separates these five

Production is the first filter Published daily output across these five runs from 100 lbs to over 500 lbs. That range decides whether a machine suits a home kitchen or a busy bar.
Storage is the second filter Published bins run from 18 lbs to 350 lbs. A larger bin means fewer interruptions, but it also means a larger footprint.
Thickness control varies The Tehanld publishes 10 levels from -5 to 5, the only level count among the five. The other four publish an adjustable thickness without a number, or nothing at all.
Timers and scheduling differ The VEVOR publishes a 48 hour timer, the Tehanld a 0 to 24 hour timer and the FOHERE a 1 to 24 hour timer. The Mojgar and EUHOMY publish none.
Certification is stated plainly The Tehanld and EUHOMY publish ETL certification. The Tehanld also publishes DOE certification. The other three do not publish a certification in the features provided.

How we chose

Priorities, not a computed score. The inputs are published specifications, so we rank by what matters most and say how much.

  1. 30% Published daily productionIt separates a light commercial unit from a high volume machine more than any other figure.
  2. 25% Published storage capacityA bin that empties quickly undercuts a high production figure during a busy service.
  3. 20% Published dimensions and weightUnder counter and freestanding placement depends on the published width, depth, height and weight.
  4. 15% Published controls and timersThickness levels, self-cleaning and scheduling change how the machine is operated day to day.
  5. 10% Published certificationAn ETL or DOE listing is a stated third party mark, and its absence is worth noting.

How the Five Compare on the Numbers

Daily production is the clearest dividing line. The Mojgar and EUHOMY each publish 100 lbs per 24 hours. The VEVOR publishes 120 lbs. The Tehanld publishes 200 lbs. The FOHERE publishes over 500 lbs. Storage bins follow a similar spread, from the Mojgar’s published 18 to 33 lbs up to the FOHERE’s published 350 lbs.

Physical size separates them just as sharply. The Mojgar publishes a 15.75 inch width and a 42.28 lb weight. The FOHERE publishes a 22.3 inch width, a 33.5 inch depth, a 65 inch height and a 262 lb weight. Those two machines are built for different rooms before any other figure is considered.

The table does not tell you how any of these machines performs in a working kitchen. Nobody at Lush has used them. It also does not show energy use in kilowatt hours, water use per cycle, or warranty length, because none of those figures appear in the manufacturer material for these five models.

Production and Storage: Where the Five Split

Light commercial and home kitchens

The Mojgar publishes 100 lbs per 24 hours with an 18 to 33 lb bin and a 42.28 lb weight. The EUHOMY publishes the same 100 lbs per day with a 33 lb bin and a 66.58 lb weight. The weight difference between them is 24.3 lbs, which matters when a machine has to be moved into place by hand.

Both are stated for under counter installation and both drain by gravity, with no pump included and a requirement that the hose sit lower than the machine. The Mojgar publishes 15.75 inches of width against 15.96 on the EUHOMY, and the EUHOMY is the one of the two carrying a certification mark, ETL for household and commercial use. Neither publishes a timer.

Higher volume settings

The Tehanld publishes 200 lbs per day with a 33 lb bin and an 82.67 lb weight. The VEVOR publishes 120 lbs per day with a 33 lb bin and a 56.22 lb weight. The gap between those two production figures is 80 lbs per day, which is the largest step up among the under counter picks.

The FOHERE publishes over 500 lbs per day with a 350 lb bin. Its published height of 65 inches and weight of 262 lbs place it in a different category from the other four, which all publish heights between 29.88 and 32.5 inches.

Controls, Timers and Installation Requirements

Thickness and scheduling

The Tehanld publishes 10 adjustable thickness levels from -5 to 5, which is the only level count on this page. The Mojgar, EUHOMY and VEVOR publish an adjustable thickness without stating how many steps it has, and the FOHERE publishes none at all. On a bar that matters, because a thin cube chills a glass faster and melts sooner.

Timers differ too. The VEVOR publishes a 48 hour timer. The Tehanld publishes a 0 to 24 hour timer. The FOHERE publishes a 1 to 24 hour timer. The Mojgar and EUHOMY do not publish a timer in the features provided, so on those two the machine runs when it is switched on and stops when the bin is full.

Drainage and placement

The Mojgar and EUHOMY both publish gravity drainage with no pump included and a requirement that the drain hose sit lower than the machine. The VEVOR publishes a detachable water tank. The FOHERE, at 65 inches tall, is the one machine here that stands on the floor rather than sliding under a counter, so its drain run is a plumbing job rather than a hose into a sink.

The Tehanld publishes a four step installation with a water filter, inlet and outlet pipe, foot spikes, drain pipe and ice shovel included. The FOHERE publishes a five step installation with a water filter, inlet hose, draining hoses and four feet. The Mojgar and EUHOMY publish no comparable parts list.

Cycle Times, Cleaning and What Is Covered

How fast the first batch arrives

Four of the five put a number on a cycle. The Tehanld states 96 cubes in 7 to 15 minutes, the EUHOMY 45 clear cubes in 11 to 15 minutes, the FOHERE 8 to 15 minutes and the VEVOR a first batch in 10 minutes. Those are not comparable figures, because a cycle time and a cube count are different things.

Only two state how many cubes come out at once, which is the figure that decides whether a bar keeps up during a rush: 96 on the Tehanld against 45 on the EUHOMY. The Mojgar publishes no cycle time at all, and no listing here states a cube size, so a thin cube and a thick one are counted the same way.

Self-cleaning, alerts and warranty

All five publish a cleaning function of some kind. The Mojgar, EUHOMY and VEVOR each state a one-touch cycle, the FOHERE an auto-clean, and the Tehanld puts a figure on it: a 10 minute self-cleaning cycle alongside a water filter. That is the only cleaning duration published anywhere on this page.

Alerts split the same way. The Tehanld publishes water shortage and ice full alerts with an auto stop, the FOHERE a full ice reminder and water shortage alerts, and the VEVOR an ice full light that comes on at 19 lbs. Only the Mojgar publishes a warranty, 24 months on the machine and 24 months on the compressor, and the other four publish none.

Which One Fits Your Kitchen

Narrow under counter space. The Mojgar publishes a 15.75 inch width and a 42.28 lb weight, the lightest of the five picks, against 15.96 inches and 66.58 lbs on the EUHOMY. Both are stated for under counter installation.

Thickness control matters most. The Tehanld publishes 10 levels from -5 to 5, the only level count among the five. The Mojgar, EUHOMY and VEVOR publish an adjustable thickness without a count, and the FOHERE publishes none.

Certification is a requirement. The Tehanld publishes ETL and DOE certification. The EUHOMY publishes ETL certification for household and commercial use. The other three picks do not publish a certification mark in the features provided.

Scheduling ahead of service. The VEVOR publishes a 48 hour timer, the longest published window among the five. The Tehanld and FOHERE publish 24 hour windows. The Mojgar and EUHOMY do not publish a timer.

High volume output. The FOHERE publishes over 500 lbs per day and a 350 lb bin. Its published height is 65 inches and its published weight is 262 lbs, so it needs floor space and a plan for delivery.

What We Could Not Verify

Several figures that would help a buyer compare these machines do not appear in the manufacturer material for these five models.

  • Energy consumption in kilowatt hours is not published for any of the five.
  • Water consumption per cycle is not published for any of the five.
  • Warranty length is published only by the Mojgar, 24 months on the machine and 24 months on the compressor.
  • Decibel figures are published only for the VEVOR, which states operation under 50 dB.
  • Bin capacity is published as a range on the Mojgar, 18 to 33 lbs, with nothing to say what moves it between the two.
  • Thickness level counts are not published for the Mojgar, EUHOMY, VEVOR or FOHERE.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 24H in a model name mean?+

It refers to a 24 hour production window. The Mojgar publishes 100 lbs per 24 hours, the Tehanld publishes 200 lbs per 24 hours, and the FOHERE publishes over 500 lbs per 24 hours. The figure describes capability as the manufacturer states it, not a measured result.

Do these machines include a drain pump?+

The Mojgar and EUHOMY both publish that they use gravity drainage and that a drain pump is not included. The Mojgar states a floor drain is required and that the drain hose must sit lower than the machine. The VEVOR publishes a detachable water tank and the FOHERE a set of draining hoses, and neither of those is a pump either.

Which machine publishes the largest storage bin?+

The FOHERE publishes a 350 lb stainless steel storage bin, the largest of the five. The Tehanld, EUHOMY and VEVOR each publish a 33 lb bin. The Mojgar publishes an 18 to 33 lb bin, the only range rather than a single figure.

Can any of these be built into a counter?+

The Mojgar, EUHOMY and Tehanld all publish under counter installation, at 15.75, 15.96 and 19.0 inches of width. The FOHERE publishes a 65 inch height, which is a freestanding format rather than an under counter one, and none of the five publishes a required air gap around the cabinet.

What ice thickness settings are published?+

The Tehanld publishes 10 levels from -5 to 5, and that is the only level count among these five. The Mojgar, EUHOMY and VEVOR each publish an adjustable setting without saying how many steps it has, and the FOHERE publishes nothing about ice thickness at all. Nobody publishes a cube size in inches.

Is certification published for these machines?+

The Tehanld publishes ETL and DOE certification. The EUHOMY publishes ETL certification for household and commercial use. The Mojgar, VEVOR and FOHERE do not publish a certification mark in the features provided here.
