Euhomy's Ice Leopard X1 debuts at CES, claims a cup of ice in five minutes

Euhomy unveiled the Ice Leopard X1 at CES 2026, and the company claims it is the world's fastest portable ice maker, able to produce nine bullet ice cubes — about one cup — in five minutes.

ZDNET's Alison DeNisco Rayome saw the machine at CES and described it as a surprisingly slim unit with a countertop footprint similar to a coffee maker. The ice bucket is removable and comes with a lid that a company representative said will keep ice cold for four hours; filling the bucket completely takes about an hour.

The Ice Leopard X1 will be available in April and will cost $150. The metal base comes in four colors and the bucket in eight, and the bucket is dishwasher safe; DeNisco Rayome said the price struck her as low compared with similar kitchen gadgets.

ZDNET noted another rapid ice maker at CES: Govee's GoveeLife Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro, which makes nugget ice in six minutes but is much larger, described as more sophisticated, and retails for $500.
