This scoop bucket provides a place to put your ice scoop or shovel when not in use. Primarily designed for the scoops that come with most countertop 2L ice makers, this scoop bucket is designed to be attached to the side of the machine and the scoop can be placed inside of it when not in use. This allows you to keep the scoop out of the way on your countertop and outside of the ice hopper to allow for the machine to maximize its ice production.
