It holds up to 1,000 lb. of ice and measures 48" W x 31" D x 54.4" H on its 6" adjustable legs. The first ice that drops in is the first ice that comes out, so the ice stays fresh.

Easy ice removal
The opening is designed for maximum accessibility when you remove ice.
Stainless and poly
Stainless steel exterior with a corrosion-resistant poly bin liner. Foamed-in polyurethane insulation preserves the ice supply.
