I got to see the Ice Leopard X1 at CES, and it’s a surprisingly thin machine, with a countertop footprint similar to that of a coffee maker. You can remove the ice bucket and put a lid on it, which a company representative said will keep it cold for up to four hours. It takes about an hour to fill the bucket completely.
