Review: Still Going Strong After a Few Months – Great Ice Maker - I bought the Nugget Countertop Ice Maker a few months ago, and I’m happy to say it’s still working great with no issues. It’s been exactly what I needed for my kitchen. The machine makes ice quickly and produces the perfect nugget ice that’s great for drinks. Whether it's iced tea, coffee, or just water, the ice is always refreshing. The setup was straightforward, and I love how easy it is to use. Just press a button, and it starts making ice in no time. The self cleaning function is a great feature that saves me from having to spend extra time cleaning it manually. One downside is that it can be a bit noisy, especially if you're in a quieter environment, but it’s not a huge issue for me. Also, the ice basket fills up fairly quickly, so if you’re hosting a gathering, you might need to empty it a couple of times. Overall, I’m really happy with the ice maker. It’s compact, efficient, and makes great ice for everyday use. If you’re looking for an easy to use ice maker that makes nugget ice, this one is a solid choice!
Review: Easy to use, easy to clean - This makes plenty of ice for our wants. It's not going to make it super fast, but it'll be faster than filling an ice tray or waiting for your fridge ice maker to get some ice. It makes tiny pellets, and makes roughly two cups of ice at a time. Perfect for us. We simply fill a two gallon freezer bag for some ready made ice and break it up with a rubber mallet when we want some. it does break up really well and doesn't stay in huge chunks. Whether it's for soda, water or an iced coffee, this has been fantastic ice. The machine did make some funky noises once. I turned it off, unplugged it for a little bit, then plugged it back in and started it back up. No issues since. Don't let it run constantly. It is a small machine and needs breaks. It does not keep the ice in the basket frozen forever. Hence the reason why we bag and store some, and make more as we need it. Having ready made pellet ice that isn't costing us a lot by the bag is fantastic and saves us a trip across town to grab more. I've had zero issues thus far, and filter water before I fill it. I do expect I will have to run a descaling cycle on it to clean, but it does have a self cleaning cycle I can run with descaler, then follow up with a couple rinse cycles. Much like I do with my single cup coffee maker. The ice comes out tasting great and doesn't leave anything behind in my drinks. It doesn't melt too fast and is a little more solid than some popular ice providers, which I love. I might have to get these as holiday gifts for my offspring, as they love pellet ice as well. For the price, portability and size, I'm really digging on this ice maker. Time will tell on lifetime of this machine, but if I get a good couple years out of it, it will have easily paid for itself in that time. Perfect on a budget. Edit: We're in September now, and it's still running like a champ. My husband and I enjoy cold, icy drinks every day. No running problems at all, and the ice doesn't come out tasting or smelling funky. I have yet to run a descale because I put filtered water through it. We run it long enough to fill a two gallon freezer bag, then let it sit and rest while we use the current supply. The bag goes in the deep freeze, and when we want some we smack it a little with a rubber mallet to break up the chunks that freeze together so we have a cup full of good ice.

### ⭐ SCAM PRODUCT, DON’T BUY!
*by M***E on August 7, 2025*

This was a great product until it wasn’t. The motor stopped working conveniently a week after the one-year warranty expired. I reached out through their customer service link, which took me to a chat page. It took days to get a response, and when I replied, it took several more days just to be told, “Sorry, you’re out of warranty.” The engine gave out literally a week after the coverage ended. What a scam. I chose this product because of the reviews and figured spending $160+ would mean I was investing in something reliable. I was wrong. On top of that, Amazon sent a follow-up survey asking if the issue was resolved, but there was no option to explain what actually happened. So is Amazon aware this company is selling questionable products? Are they even looking into it? We followed all the cleaning instructions and treated the machine properly. The motor failed anyway. I bought this for my dad on Father’s Day last year because he loves chewing ice. Sure, I could buy another one, but after this experience and Amazon’s weird follow-up, how am I supposed to trust any other ice machines on here? Customer service was disappointing. I didn’t want a refund. I just wanted it fixed. I was willing to send the broken unit back, but they didn’t offer that as an option. Don’t waste your money unless you’re okay with a one-year lifespan and no support. I’d give this product negative stars if I could.
