Countertop Soft-Serve Maker 18 L/h

The SIHAO A168 is a new countertop ice-cream and yogurt machine rated at 1200 W with a twin-hopper layout. Each 3 L stainless-steel hopper feeds a single flavour, while a centre nozzle blends both for a third option. Output reaches 18 L per hour, making it suited to cafés, small restaurants or high-volume home use.

Buyers needing 2+1 flavour flexibility

Operators who want two distinct flavours plus a mixed swirl from one footprint will match this design. Kitchens limited to a single flavour, or sites without a dedicated 1200 W circuit, should consider a smaller single-hopper unit instead.

Twin 3 L hoppers 1200 W compressor

The decisive specification is the pair of 3 L hoppers driven by a 1200 W compressor using R410a refrigerant. That combination fixes the 18 L/h output and the 2+1 flavour capability, so the buyer can confirm the machine fits their volume and menu plan.

Questions about this item

What power supply does the 1200W compressor require?

The machine runs on a standard corded electric connection; the 1200W compressor draws power directly from the mains outlet.

Will the 22.6 x 16.7 x 30 in footprint fit on my existing countertop?

At 22.6 inches wide, 16.7 inches deep and 30 inches tall, it needs a sturdy counter section at least that large and able to support 152 lb.

How can I confirm the 18 L/h output is being reached after setup?

Watch the intelligent LCD panel — it shows real-time temperature and timer data so you can verify the compressor is cycling correctly and producing at the rated 18 litres per hour.
