Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
Can I choose cube-style ice with a supplied auxiliary top tank?
Yes. The exact IM-FM listing and gallery identify cube-style ice and a supplied 1.5L upper tank, with a 0.5L built-in reservoir.
Explore this need in the finder →Can I require at least two pounds waiting in the collection basket?
No. Its stated basket capacity is 1.8lb; 34lb/day describes repeated production rather than collection storage.
Explore this need in the finder →Is a maximum nine-inch closed width confirmed by consistent current specifications?
No. The current description says 8.74in, while a current native feature image says 9.06in. Confirm the exact unit before relying on a tight fit.
Explore this need in the finder →The Euhomy Tile SE IM-FM is a cube-style countertop machine with a supplied top water tank and a relatively small collection basket. Its useful combination is manual filling, adjustable ice thickness and a start-or-stop timer. Choose it around the 1.8lb basket and the space needed above the tank, rather than interpreting its 34lb daily claim as a large supply waiting inside.
Cube-style ice for drinks, rather than nuggets
The current listing describes 16 cubes per cycle. These are square or rectangular cube-style pieces formed at the evaporator, a different shape from rounded hollow bullets or small nugget ice. Adjusting the freezing time changes their thickness; it does not select a different ice shape.
The page's short cycle headline is 13 minutes, while the exact manual describes typical cycles of approximately 10–25 minutes and a longer initial cycle depending on water and room temperature. Treat the shorter number as a maker's reference claim. For guests arriving soon, start early enough to collect several batches rather than expect the advertised daily total to appear immediately.
The basket is rated for 1.8lb at one time. Once its full indicator operates, remove ice so production can continue. That collection limit matters more than the 34lb/day claim when several people fill glasses together. For more collected ice between trips to the machine, compare the Tile Plus IM-FP, whose current listing specifies a 2.6lb basket.
What the daily output does and does not tell you
Euhomy advertises up to 34lb per day. The sources here do not attach that figure to a specific pair of room and feed-water temperatures. The manual explicitly says cooler water and cooler ambient conditions increase production. A warm kitchen, warmer refill water, thicker ice and a full basket all change the practical routine.
This is a useful machine to shortlist when the demand is repeated small collections through the day. It is less suitable if the requirement is 34lb already stored for one gathering. If ice needs to be ready well ahead of serving, plan a separate freezer container and the time to transfer batches. The daily production figure is not evidence of powered frozen storage.
The supplied top tank changes the counter arrangement
The official feature image identifies a 1.5L external top tank and a 0.5L built-in reservoir, accounting for the listing's 2L total water figure. Do not add another two liters to those quantities. The manual's filling route installs the top tank and fills it below its MAX mark with drinking water.
This is an auxiliary tank above the machine, not a side tank and not a direct plumbing connection. Leave access for opening and filling it. Someone looking specifically for an included side reservoir should compare an exact GE Opal Ultra configuration instead, while recognizing that Opal produces nugget ice rather than these cubes.
Check the dimensional discrepancy before choosing a tight space
The product description lists 8.74 inches wide, 11.89 deep and 15.83 high. A current feature image on the same listing instead shows 9.06 wide, 12.2 deep and 16.14 high. Those sets are close, but the difference matters under a narrow cabinet or beside another appliance. Confirm the delivered unit's dimensions and allow working room instead of relying on the smaller set for a close fit.
The manual also calls for six inches behind and at the sides for ventilation, plus a level location away from sunlight and heat sources. Closed-body width alone does not describe the working footprint. The top tank makes overhead access part of that footprint too.
Ice thickness and timing are separate controls
The plus and minus controls adjust the next freezing cycle in one-minute increments, up to six minutes longer or shorter than the default. Longer generally means thicker cubes. The setting takes effect with a new cycle and returns to default after the unit is powered on again, according to the manual.
The timer has a one-to-24-hour range. Set it while the machine is operating for delayed shutdown, or in standby for delayed startup. This is an elapsed delay, not a recurring daily clock schedule. A delayed start also means allowing time afterward for the first usable batch.
Keep the water path accessible for cleaning
The manual describes a 20-minute circulating clean program, started by holding the plus button for more than five seconds. The product copy and feature image show a shorter button hold, so follow the exact instructions and controls supplied with the unit. Clean the accessible parts with the prescribed mild detergent and rinse thoroughly; the cycle does not remove that work.
Euhomy calls for fresh water every 24 hours and cleaning the internal and upper tanks every three days. The water-distribution pipe and its holes also need attention if flow becomes obstructed. The bottom drain and the valve-controlled upper water path require access during emptying. Choose Tile SE for its smaller basket and supplied top tank when those refill and cleaning steps fit the kitchen; choose Tile Plus for a larger collection basket and higher qualified daily claim, or a nugget model when the shape itself is the priority.
