Normal ice cubes are not good enough here. This $549 machine makes soft, chewable nugget ice. It can make up to 38 pounds a day. That is enough for a party or one very thirsty aunt.

The first batch takes about 10 minutes. The bin holds 3 pounds, and melted ice goes back through the machine. It is 17.5 × 10.5 × 16.5 inches and uses 240 watts. Your freezer has made ice for years, but it never had this kind of budget.

It has SmartHQ Wi-Fi, schedules, status checks, Alexa, and Google voice control. Now you can ask about ice without walking to the ice. Finally, progress.

A second look from our human-approved catalog. Check the Amazon product page for current price and availability.
