What’s cooler than cool? Ice cold. What’s even cooler than that? Ice that’s made in 5 minutes or less. No, that’s not a typo — that’s how fast Euhomy’s new at-home ice maker, launching this week at CES 2026, makes cubes of frozen water. And I saw it in action.
We’re tracking all the latest news and launches from CES, and rumblings of the world’s fastest at-home ice maker had me hustling for a sneak peek.
Euhomy’s new Leopard ice maker has the new land speed record.
David Watsky/CNETIn a hotel suite at Mandalay Bay, ahead of the big Las Vegas consumer tech show, a representative for the small appliance brand poured tap water into the reservoir of the Ice Leopard X1. The small, sleek machine resembles a coffee maker more than an ice maker, thanks to its round, insulated bucket. It’s also compact — about half the size of a typical at-home ice maker.
As promised, in just under 5 minutes (yep, I timed it), I could hear bullet ice dropping into the 2.2-liter metal chamber. Bullet ice is the easiest type of ice to make quickly. Even so, Euhomy’s model churns it out a full 3 minutes faster than any other at-home bullet ice maker on the market.
Filling the tub completely (measured in ounces) takes about an hour, but when time is of the essence for getting more ice at a party or home happy hour — and when isn’t it? — the Euhomy makes hosting a little less stressful. Better yet, the insulated bucket keeps ice frozen for up to 4 hours without any electricity.
Euhomy’s line of ice makers has features we’ve not seen until now.

Another model, the Rock Plus Square, produces blocks of ice — ideal for cocktails — that are similarly even, smooth and translucent, and does so in about 30 minutes for three blocks.
Euhomy’s sphere ice makers turns out beautiful balls of ice — perfect for sipping booze.
David Watsky/CNETThe full line of ice makers will be available in April. The Leapord X1 portable ice maker will retail for $150. Both the square and sphere ice makers will cost $200.
