Well, they did it again, the team at ecozy reached out about a month and a half ago, asking if I would like to review their most recent product. After opening the link to Amazon and reading the description, it took me all of five minutes to get super excited about their newest ice ball maker and email the marketing team back with extreme enthusiasm. With that said, today’s review comes from the ecozy company, which can be purchased from Amazon here, and is of the ecozy 2.4” Vaultico One Plus Ice Ball Maker.

Before I get started, I want to state that this machine was sent to me again for free, with no strings attached. I am not being paid for this review, and I do not receive any commission if a reader decides to purchase this product. As always, this review will reflect my genuine opinion of the product, regardless of any external influences.

Let’s start this review with some of the marketing information from the ecozy Amazon website:

• Vaultico One Plus Ice Ball Maker – 2026 Refined Upgrade: Smallest Footprint Ever. CrystalFlux technology makes 2.4″ crystal-clear spheres that melt slower, chill deeper, and preserve whiskey’s pure flavor. Precision-engineered for the ultimate pour
• 2.4″ Ultra-Large Whiskey Ice in 40 Minutes: A compact, focused freezing system forms each 2.4″ sphere in about 40 minutes, delivering clear, dense ice while keeping the machine footprint minimal
• Easy Water Fill: Simply open the top cover to add water—no hassle. 0.21 gal tank for flexible placement, plus a bottom drain for quick, mess-free removal on any countertop
• Compact Ice Ball Maker: Makes up to 32 large spheres per day, storing 9 at a time—ideal for home bars or intimate gatherings. Minimal footprint, premium clear ice on demand
• Advanced Double-Layer Insulation: Non-transparent double-layer design cuts ice melt to 18% vs 26% in clear-window models, keeping ice colder for smoother whiskey. For best results when not serving right away, transfer spheres to your freezer after production to preserve clarity and shape
• Clean Made Simple: One-touch auto-cleaning cycle keeps every ice sphere pure and fresh, while the interior and basket can be manually wiped for a deeper clean anytime. (Caution: Always install the ice basket before activating self-cleaning.)

Since I received this $279 machine for free, I felt I should include most of ecozy’s marketing information above. So, if you have made it this far in the review, I appreciate it greatly and hope you continue reading below for my overall thoughts on the product.

I know I said this with the last review, but it seems that each time I am setting up one of these machines, the setup becomes easier and easier; this machine was no exception. By far the easiest machine to set up so far, the ecozy 2.4” Vaultico One Plus Ice Ball Maker is as easy as unbox an go! Additionally, this redesign and smaller unit is even more effortless as all you do is pour water in the top of the machine, rather than removing the basket, press the start button, and wait for your crystal clear, perfectly sized ice balls with an even smaller hole than previous models! I do not know how the ecozy engineering team just keeps making better and better machines each time, but bravo.

During what I like to call the trial period of using the machine prior to writing a review, I ran this machine just over a half-dozen times for approximately six to eight hours straight while at home. Each of these times, we were able to make between 15 and 30 ice balls or enough to fill one gallon ziplock bag. Now this is much less than the previous model that I reviewed; however, this model only makes one ball at a time in comparison to four. So why would you choose this model? Well, for me, the size of the machine tells the whole story, as Mrs. Bourbon Bossman will get more than half of her counter space back in our kitchen.

Overall, the ecozy team hit this one out of the park again, from the ease of setup to the simplicity of use, and ending with a machine that is more than half the size of the last. For someone like me who does not host and often enjoys my bourbon neat, having a product like this that takes up less space but provides a top-tier product when needed, that is Bourbon Bossman® Approved. I do not have much more to say, except we absolutely love this machine, and I thought I would never say that again after the last one!

Again, I am not being paid for this review, and I do not receive any commission. So if this ice maker interests you, please feel free to check out the ecozy 2.4” Vaultico One Plus Ice Ball Maker from Amazon here. Another big thank you to the ecozy marketing team for reaching out again for a fourth time, as I am beyond honored, and can honestly say I love your products!

Please remember, drinking bourbon is a personal adventure, so do not be afraid to drink it neat, with ice, or add some water. It’s your bourbon, you bought it, and you should enjoy it how you want to enjoy it!

Cheers! Prost! Sláinte!
