Euhomy Dart H1 Silver IM-18SX review

The separately listed Dart H1 Silver IM-18SX is a manually filled bullet-ice machine with a stated 1.2-liter reservoir and 1.3-pound collection basket. It is useful for someone who wants direct front-panel operation and a portable handle. Its name needs care: this is a different listing and control layout from the IM-06S Silver color option on the ordinary Dart H1 page.

Why the suffix matters

Euhomy's current native product data identifies this configuration as IM-18SX. Its exact page links a manual for the IM-18S family, whose illustrated vertical front panel matches the current product picture. That is the relevant operating document; the IM-06D/S manual describes the other H1 body's horizontal top controls.

Before ordering a silver H1, check the model number and the controls in the listing. The ordinary H1 page includes a Silver variant called IM-06S. A stainless exterior is not sufficient to tell these apart. Nor does the Silver finish mean that the internal reservoir and every ice-contact part are stainless steel.

A 1.3-pound basket, rather than a day's frozen reserve

The current page specifies a 1.2-liter water tank, nine bullet pieces in as little as six minutes, up to 26.3 pounds per day and 1.3 pounds held at once. The daily and basket figures serve different purposes. The larger number requires repeated production, water refills and collections; it is not the quantity waiting for guests when you lift the lid.

The linked manual gives a six-to-thirteen-minute cycle range depending on conditions, while the current daily claim lacks a corresponding room-and-water temperature pair. Leave time for production and do not treat the minimum cycle headline as a guaranteed first harvest. The hollow bullet shape is also a different choice from nuggets or clear cube systems.

Euhomy's FAQ says the machine has no preservation function. Use ice promptly or transfer it to a freezer for longer storage. An appliance that recirculates melted water can keep making ice, but it does not maintain a basket as a frozen reserve throughout an afternoon.

Front controls and straightforward refilling

The illustrated panel has an Ice/Clean button, Add Water indication and Ice Full indication. You lift the cover, remove the basket and add drinking water below the marked line. When water is insufficient, the manual calls for stopping, refilling and restarting; it also requires a pause before restarting the compressor.

The full-ice sensor stops production when the basket fills. Keep the machine away from direct or reflected sunlight that can affect that sensor. The supplied handle helps carry it between suitable locations, but filling, emptying, ventilation and access to a grounded outlet remain necessary parts of setup.

The manual contains a generic reference to selected ice size, yet its control diagram and current page do not establish a separate size-selection control. If two selectable bullet sizes matter, Dart H1 Pro IM034 explicitly documents them. Do not buy this Silver configuration on that assumption.

A clean program followed by physical cleaning

Both the current description and the linked manual describe a thirty-minute cleaning cycle. They differ on activation: the page says hold for three seconds, while the manual says more than five. Check the instructions supplied with the exact unit rather than forcing a button sequence that does not respond as expected.

After a clean cycle, drain the water and rinse as instructed. The manual separately calls for removing the basket, washing accessible interior surfaces with suitable diluted detergent and a soft cloth, rinsing, draining and drying. It specifies changing water every twenty-four hours and emptying and drying the tank for longer periods without use. The current FAQ recommends weekly cleaning; that does not replace checking the water and surfaces each day.

Resolve the dimensional discrepancy before a tight fit

The current page lists 9.25 inches deep, 11.54 wide and 11.61 high, while another description uses length and width labels. The linked IM-18S specification table gives width × depth × height as 222 × 294 × 290 millimeters, approximately 8.74 × 11.57 × 11.42 inches. These are not consistent enough to guarantee a tight cabinet opening.

Ask for the delivered IM-18SX revision's measurements. The linked manual also requires at least six inches at the back and sides, so a closed-body outline alone is insufficient. Current setup guidance calls for twenty-four hours upright before first startup; the older manual gives a shorter settling period.

Choose this configuration for its documented small basket, manual reservoir and direct front controls when you can accommodate the working space and regular care. Choose Pro for documented remote control and two sizes. For a larger collected quantity with cube-style ice, compare Tile Plus IM-FP, whose 2.6-pound basket serves a different preparation plan.
