Coway Icon Ice Malaysia 2026: The New Compact Ice-Making Water Purifier – Features, Price & Comparison

3 hours ago
9 min read


Imagine coming home after a long, hot day in Malaysia and enjoying a refreshing glass of ice-cold water without opening your freezer, filling ice trays, or waiting for ice cubes to freeze.

For many Malaysian households, having clean drinking water is already an everyday necessity. But as our lifestyles change, we increasingly look for appliances that offer more convenience, save space, and make daily routines easier.

That's where the new Coway Icon Ice (CHPI-7410N) comes in.

The latest addition to Coway Malaysia's ice-making water purifier range combines automatic ice production, instant hot water, advanced Nanotrap filtration, and a modern, compact design.

But with Coway AIS and Lucy Plus already available, is Icon Ice really worth upgrading to?

In this guide, we'll explore the new Coway Icon Ice's features, specifications, rental price, advantages, and differences compared with the Coway AIS and Lucy Plus.

Introducing the New Coway Icon Ice (CHPI-7410N)

The Coway Icon Ice is a premium countertop water purifier with a built-in automatic ice maker, designed for households that want purified drinking water and convenient ice production from a single appliance.

Unlike conventional water purifiers that only provide hot, cold, and ambient water, Icon Ice allows you to dispense ice and water separately or together.

It also introduces several improvements over Coway's existing ice-making models, including a larger ice storage capacity, a narrower body, and more flexible hot-water temperature controls.

1. More Ice, Less Waiting – 1.1kg Ice Storage

One of the biggest highlights of Coway Icon Ice is its 1.1kg ice storage capacity, making it the largest ice reservoir among Coway's three ice-making water purifier models compared here.

To put this into perspective:

  • Coway Icon Ice: 1.1kg

  • Coway Lucy Plus: 1.0kg

  • Coway AIS: 0.7kg

That means Icon Ice stores approximately 57% more ice than AIS.

According to Coway, a full Icon Ice tank can provide up to 15 glasses of ice, based on 10 small cubes per 150ml cup.

Whether you're preparing iced coffee in the morning, enjoying a cold drink after work, or entertaining guests during the weekend, having ready-made ice can make daily life more convenient.

Two Ice Cube Sizes

Icon Ice offers two ice sizes to suit different beverages:

Small ice cubes – approximately 7g

Suitable for everyday drinks and quick refreshments.

Large ice cubes – approximately 9g

Ideal for drinks where you prefer larger cubes that stay solid longer.

Coway states that ice production can take approximately 12 minutes for small ice or 14 minutes for large ice under specified conditions.

Actual production time and availability may vary depending on ambient temperature and usage.

2. Advanced 7-Stage UV Sterilisation for Better Hygiene

When choosing an ice-making water purifier, hygiene is just as important as convenience.

Ice is part of what we consume, so keeping the ice-making system clean matters.

Coway Icon Ice introduces a multi-stage UV-LED sterilisation system designed to help maintain hygiene throughout the ice-making and dispensing process.

Its care functions include:

  • UV care for the ice tray

  • UV protection for the ice storage tank

  • UV sanitisation of the ice dispensing outlet

  • UV sanitisation of the water dispensing faucet

  • Automated hot-water sterilisation for the ice tray

The UV system runs scheduled sanitisation cycles to help reduce bacterial contamination in the treated areas.

Coway's product materials describe up to 99.99% germ elimination, while the accompanying TÜV SÜD test disclosure reports 99.9% bacterial removal effectiveness in tested areas under controlled conditions.

These results should not be interpreted as a guarantee that all microorganisms are eliminated under every real-world condition.

For families who regularly enjoy ice-cold beverages, these automated hygiene features offer additional reassurance.

3. Coway Nanotrap Filtration – A Different Approach from RO

One of the most important differences between Icon Ice and Coway's previous ice-making water purifiers is its filtration system.

While AIS and Lucy Plus use Reverse Osmosis (RO), Icon Ice uses Coway's Double Nanotrap filtration system.

Its Double Filter Set combines:

  • Double Nanotrap Filter

  • Double Plus Inno-Sense (D) Filter

The system is designed to reduce impurities while improving the taste and odour of drinking water.

Coway also states that the filter system is certified to remove 99.99% of noroviruses under its specified testing conditions.

Nanotrap vs RO – Which Is Better?

Both technologies are designed to purify drinking water, but they operate differently.

Nanotrap filtration focuses on removing targeted contaminants while allowing more dissolved minerals to remain in the water.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) uses a membrane to remove a broad range of dissolved substances, including many dissolved salts and minerals.

Neither filtration method should automatically be considered superior for every household. The best choice depends on the incoming water quality, the contaminants of concern, and personal preferences.

For customers who prefer Nanotrap-filtered water and want an ice-making function, Icon Ice offers an option that was not available in Coway's AIS or Lucy Plus models.

4. Instant Hot Water with Four Temperature Settings

Most conventional water purifiers use a hot-water storage tank to maintain a supply of heated water.

Icon Ice takes a different approach with its instant-heating system.

Instead of storing hot water in a conventional heated tank, it heats water during dispensing.

Users can choose between four hot-water temperature settings:

Temperature

Suggested Everyday Use

45°C

Warm drinking water

70°C

Certain warm beverages

80°C

Tea and hot drinks

90°C

Coffee and other hot beverages

The most suitable temperature depends on the beverage or food being prepared.

For example, instant noodles and certain food products may require boiling water according to their preparation instructions.

Icon Ice also provides ambient and cold drinking water, making it a versatile appliance for daily family use.

5. Customisable Water Volume and One-Touch Ice Water

Another useful feature of Icon Ice is its adjustable water dispensing volume.

Instead of manually estimating how much water to pour, users can choose from four preset volumes:

  • 125ml

  • 250ml

  • 500ml

  • 1,000ml

This is especially useful when filling a drinking glass, preparing beverages, or refilling a water bottle.

Ice and Water in One Touch

Icon Ice also features combined ice-and-water dispensing.

Its four preset combinations are:

Setting

Ice

Water

Quick Sip

10 cubes

150ml

Everyday Glass

15 cubes

250ml

Tall Glass

20 cubes

350ml

Big Refill

25 cubes

500ml

Simply choose your preferred setting and let the machine dispense the selected combination.

The actual number of ice cubes may vary depending on ice availability and operating conditions.

Icon Ice also includes convenient recipe presets for tea, drip coffee, and cup noodles.

6. Slim 24cm Design – Ideal for Modern Malaysian Kitchens

Kitchen space is valuable, especially in condominiums, apartments, and modern homes where countertop space is limited.

Despite its larger ice storage capacity, Coway Icon Ice measures just 240mm wide.

Compared with Coway AIS, which measures 270mm wide, Icon Ice is approximately 11% narrower.

It is also shorter and less deep than AIS.

The compact design allows customers to enjoy an automatic ice maker without needing a separate floor-standing appliance.

Icon Ice comes in four colours:

  • Ice White

  • Ice Gray

  • Ice Blue

  • Ice Pink

Whether your kitchen features a minimalist white interior, contemporary grey cabinets, or a more colourful design, Icon Ice offers several options to complement your home.

7. Coway Icon Ice vs AIS vs Lucy Plus – Which Should You Choose?

Coway Malaysia currently offers three ice-making water purifiers with different designs and capabilities.

Choose Coway Icon Ice If You Want:

A compact, modern water purifier with the largest ice storage capacity among these three models.

Icon Ice is especially attractive for households that enjoy iced beverages, prefer Nanotrap filtration, and want instant hot water with adjustable temperatures.

Its slim design also makes it suitable for kitchens where space is limited.

Choose Coway AIS If You Want:

An ice-making water purifier with RO filtration at a lower monthly rental price.

AIS provides 1.8 litres of cold water, 1.8 litres of ambient water, and 1.5 litres of hot water, making it a practical choice for customers who prefer conventional water storage tanks.

Its 0.7kg ice capacity is smaller than Icon Ice's, but it remains a capable countertop ice-making water purifier.

Choose Coway Lucy Plus If You Want:

A floor-standing water purifier with a larger cold-water reservoir and convenient hands-free ice dispensing.

Lucy Plus offers 2.5 litres of cold water, 3.5 litres of ambient water, 1.5 litres of hot water, and a 1.0kg ice storage tank.

Its floor-standing design makes it suitable for workplaces, offices, and homes where a countertop installation is not preferred.

For customers who prefer predictable monthly payments without arranging routine filter replacement separately, a rental package may be a convenient option.

9. Is Coway Icon Ice Worth It in 2026?

If you already own a water purifier that provides hot and cold drinking water, upgrading to an ice-making model may initially seem like a luxury.

However, consider how often your family uses ice.

Do you regularly prepare iced coffee, tea, juice, or other cold beverages? Do you find yourself refilling ice trays or purchasing bags of ice when entertaining guests?

If so, having an automatic ice maker integrated into your drinking water purifier could be a worthwhile convenience.

Icon Ice offers several meaningful advantages:

Larger ice storage: Its 1.1kg capacity is the biggest among the three Coway ice-making models compared here.

Compact design: At just 24cm wide, it occupies less countertop width than AIS.

Flexible hot water: Four temperature settings make it easier to prepare different drinks.

Automated hygiene care: Scheduled UV and hot-water sterilisation functions help maintain cleanliness in selected areas of the appliance.

Modern convenience: Customisable water volumes and one-touch ice-and-water dispensing simplify daily use.

However, customers who mainly drink cold water in large quantities should consider that Icon Ice has a smaller cold-water tank than AIS or Lucy Plus.

Likewise, customers who specifically prefer RO filtration may find AIS or Lucy Plus more suitable.

Ultimately, Icon Ice is best suited to households that place a high value on convenient ice production, flexible dispensing, and compact design.
