Euhomy Tile Plus IM-FP review

The Euhomy Tile Plus IM-FP is the larger-basket alternative within the Tile pair. Its current listing specifies 24 cube-style pieces per cycle, a 2.6lb collection basket and up to 45lb daily production. It also has adjustable freezing time and delayed startup or shutdown. The main checks before purchase are the water-bottle mounting arrangement, clearance around the fan and the cleaning instructions for the delivered edition.

More cubes collected between visits

The 2.6lb basket is the useful comparison with the Tile SE IM-FM and its 1.8lb basket. A larger basket gives more collected ice before someone needs to empty it and restart the collection routine. It remains very different from the 45lb daily figure, which describes potential production over repeated cycles rather than the amount held at once.

The current feature image advertises 24 pieces in 13 minutes. The exact manual describes approximately 13–25 minutes per freezing cycle, with a potentially longer first batch depending on initial water and room temperature. Plan the first drinks around actual batches becoming available. For a party, begin collecting ahead of the arrival time and use freezer storage if the ice must wait.

The output is cube-style ice, rather than rounded bullets or nugget pellets. Plus and minus adjust freezing time, so the pieces can be thicker or thinner. That changes the amount of ice formed and the time spent freezing it; it does not turn this model into a nugget machine or a large-sphere maker.

The 45lb claim needs its qualification

The current page advertises up to 45lb per day, without an exact ambient-and-water-temperature test pair in the sources reviewed here. The manual explains that cooler room and water temperatures support greater output. Ice thickness, refill conditions and time spent stopped with a full basket also matter to the day's production.

If a particular warm-room output is essential, require a manufacturer figure at those conditions rather than use the headline alone. The machine can still be a useful candidate for regular cube collections, but a daily claim cannot establish a specific amount in the basket or confirm powered freezer retention.

Manual filling is clear; bottle feeding needs a package check

The current listing's feature image shows a 3.2L water tank and an optional inverted bottle arrangement using a bottle no larger than three gallons. It also advises choosing a compatible capped bottle. The supplied IM-FP manual, however, identifies the bottle support seat as present on certain units only.

Before planning around a large bottle, check that the exact package has the appropriate mount and confirm the bottle-and-cap fit. Do not infer that a bottle is supplied or that any household jug fits. This is a different arrangement from Tile SE's explicitly supplied 1.5L auxiliary top tank.

For the documented manual-fill route, open the upper tank cover and fill below the FULL mark. The manual specifically says not to pour water into the smaller internal tank beneath the ice basket: that is not the refill reservoir. This distinction is worth learning before the first refill, especially if moving from an ice maker that fills directly below its basket.

Allow space to use and ventilate it

The current product description and matching feature image list approximately 9.9 inches wide, 14.2 deep and 14.6 high. Leave additional room to open the top and collect ice. A bottle-ready setup would also need substantial extra height and room to lift the bottle safely.

The manual calls for six inches behind and on both sides, with the machine level, indoors and away from direct heat and sunlight. The visible side fan needs that working clearance. A cabinet gap only a little wider than the body is therefore not the intended installation, even if the closed machine can be slid into it.

Use the controls for the actual task

Adjust freezing time in one-minute increments, up to six minutes, for subsequent cycles. If cubes are too thin, increasing the freezing period is the relevant control. If the basket is full, take out ice so the unit can resume; changing thickness is not a substitute for collection.

The timer's action depends on the current state: it schedules a later stop while the unit is running and a later start while it is off. This is a relative delay rather than a recurring daily timetable. The manual notes that the shutdown appointment becomes invalid after shutdown, so recheck timing when beginning another session.

The cleaning cycle is only part of ownership

The exact manual describes a roughly 20-minute automatic clean, while a current product feature image says 30 minutes. Follow the instructions and actual cycle indicators for the supplied edition. Allow time for the cycle to finish, then complete the required rinsing and draining rather than plan around an assumed universal duration.

Change water every 24 hours and clean the unit about every three days, including the water-distribution pipe when needed. The manual describes the upper reservoir's valve-controlled drainage and separate cleaning of both tanks. Choose Tile Plus when its larger basket, 24-piece batch claim and lower closed height are useful; choose Tile SE for its supplied auxiliary tank, or compare the Newair NIM045SS00 for another documented cube machine with a timer and cleaning cycle.
