Hoshizaki cubelet ice maker sizing, cabinet styles, and installation
Built for compact beverage service, a Hoshizaki cubelet ice maker combines mini cubelet production and built-in storage in a cabinet less than 15 inches wide. Compare standard-height, ADA-height, stainless-door, and custom-panel C-80BAK configurations.
Highlights
- The stainless-door Hoshizaki C-80BAK and ADA-height C-80BAK-AD each produce up to 92 pounds of mini cubelet ice per day and store up to 27 pounds.
- The custom-panel-ready C-80BAK-DS has a standard-height cabinet, while the C-80BAK-ADDS combines panel compatibility with an ADA-compliant height. The customer supplies the decorative panel.
- All four models measure 14 7/8 inches wide and 22 5/8 inches deep. Standard models are 33 1/2 inches high, and ADA models are 31 1/2 inches high.
- Each Hoshizaki cubelet ice maker in this family is air-cooled, self-contained, front-breathing, and equipped with R290 refrigerant and a 115V NEMA 5-15P plug.
Best for
- Offices, break rooms, hotel suites, and hospitality spaces
- Bars, cafés, lounges, and compact beverage stations
- Installations requiring ADA-height equipment
- Kitchens using a customer-supplied cabinet panel
Before you buy
- Confirm the format and suffix. These are complete machines with storage, not modular heads or automatic dispensers; AD means ADA height, DS means custom-panel ready, and ADDS includes both features.
- Size production and storage separately. The bin holds 27 pounds, not a full day’s output, and warmer air or inlet water can reduce production below the published maximum.
- Measure the opening, countertop height, door swing, delivery route, and service area. For DS models, verify the panel’s required dimensions, weight, and hardware.
- Provide potable water and approved drainage. Use a code-compliant gravity drain or confirm the optional HS-5061 drain pump; the pump isn’t included.
- Supply a dedicated 115V, 15-amp circuit, and keep the front intake and exhaust clear. The manual requires at least 15 inches of front clearance and enough rear space for connections.
- Outdoor approval doesn’t eliminate operating limits or maintenance. Follow the current manual for site conditions, filtration, cleaning, sanitizing, and approved chemicals.

Hoshizaki cubelet ice maker FAQs
What is cubelet ice?
−
Cubelet ice is Hoshizaki’s small, chewable, compressed nugget-style ice. The pieces chill drinks and have a softer bite than solid cubes, although texture and density vary between Hoshizaki’s Cubelet and Soft Cubelet lines. The C-80BAK family makes mini cubelet ice.
Is Hoshizaki a good ice maker?
+
Yes. Hoshizaki is a reputable commercial ice-machine brand with published technical documentation and service resources. Even a well-built machine needs correct sizing, installation, water quality, and routine maintenance to perform reliably.
What is the smallest Hoshizaki ice machine?
+
Among current Hoshizaki cubelet machines with built-in storage, the C-80BAK family is the compact option at 14 7/8 inches wide and 22 5/8 inches deep. ADA models are 31 1/2 inches high, while standard models are 33 1/2 inches high.
How often should a Hoshizaki ice machine be cleaned?
+
Clean and sanitize the C-80BAK machine and bin at least twice a year, or more often when water quality or operating conditions require it. Hoshizaki also specifies cleaning the bin drain every three months; follow the current C-80BAK instruction manual.
What are common problems with Hoshizaki ice machines?
+
Common symptoms include low output, poor ice quality, leaks, slow drainage, unusual noise, and shutdowns. Possible causes include scale, restricted water flow, blocked airflow, a dirty condenser, a clogged bin drain, drain-pump trouble, or component faults. Follow the manual’s basic checks, then contact Hoshizaki support before replacing parts.
