Delivery Information
Price Match
The Follett Champion 7 is a countertop ice dispenser designed for self-serve or staff-operated ice delivery in commercial environments. It produces and stores a continuous supply of Follett's characteristic nugget-style ice, dispensing it on demand via a touchscreen interface. The unit is intended for locations where reliable, hygienic ice availability matters throughout the service day — hotel beverage stations, healthcare facilities, staff canteens, and similar settings.
In practice, the Champion 7 is built to handle steady, consistent demand rather than high-volume batch requirements. The integrated ice-making and dispensing system means ice is produced in-unit and held ready, avoiding the need for separate icemaker-to-bin transfers. The touchscreen provides straightforward operation for both guests and staff, and its self-help diagnostics help on-site teams identify minor issues without immediately calling an engineer.
From an operational standpoint, several features are worth noting:
- Drainless design removes the need for a floor drain connection at the point of installation
- Internal UV light and Agion antimicrobial protection work continuously to maintain ice hygiene
- Clean-in-place sanitation prompts help teams keep maintenance on schedule
- Touchscreen interface is straightforward for unsupervised self-serve use
- Compact footprint suits countertop installation in space-constrained service areas
Installation is relatively straightforward compared with many ice machines. The drainless operation removes a common plumbing obstacle, requiring only a water supply connection and an appropriate power supply. That said, water quality should be considered — hard water areas may benefit from an inline filtration solution, as scale build-up affects both ice quality and long-term reliability. This model does not include an internal Claris water filter. Adequate ventilation around the unit should also be factored in during placement.
The Champion 7 is well suited to moderate-demand environments where consistent ice availability and hygiene assurance are priorities — healthcare settings, hotel room-service stations, and staff refreshment points being typical applications. For sites with heavier throughput requirements or where ice feeds multiple service points simultaneously, a higher-capacity unit would be worth considering.
If you're unsure whether the Champion 7 fits your service volume or installation setup, we're happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Follett Champion 7 suitable for a busy hotel lobby or high-footfall beverage station?
The Champion 7 is well suited to moderate, steady demand — hotel room-service floors, staff canteens, and healthcare ward stations are typical use cases. For a high-footfall lobby or a station serving multiple points simultaneously, it's worth discussing your service volume with us to confirm the unit will keep pace.
What are the installation requirements for the Champion 7?
The unit requires a mains water supply connection and an appropriate electrical supply at the point of installation. Because it operates drainlessly, there is no requirement for a floor drain, which makes positioning more flexible. You should still ensure adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation, and in hard water areas an external inline filter is advisable to protect ice quality and machine longevity.
How is ice hygiene maintained in day-to-day use?
The Champion 7 combines an internal UV light with Agion antimicrobial surface protection on ice-contact components, both of which operate continuously during normal use. The unit also prompts operators when a clean-in-place sanitation cycle is due, helping teams stay on top of routine maintenance without relying on memory or manual scheduling.
