Drainless vs Drain-Required
For IMC25BI, IMC22, and IMC20, the real advantage is not just the ice itself. It is the easier installation path without a dedicated drain requirement. IMB55BI belongs on the same compare page, but it should be understood as the premium clear-ice branch with different installation planning.

If you are looking at IMC25BI, IMC22, or IMC20, the biggest advantage is not just the ice itself. You get a simpler installation path, easier replacement planning, and a more approachable built-in upgrade for kitchens, bars, RVs, and everyday home spaces.
Why IMB55BI is a different choice
IMB55BI belongs in the same IM Series family, but it gives you a different experience. Choose it if you want ultra-clear bullet ice and a more premium drink setup, and you are comfortable with a drain-required installation path.
