The EUHOMY Countertop Nugget Ice Maker makes soft, chewable pellet ice (the sonic style people love) in about 6 minutes from first pour, and up to 34 pounds over a full day. It sits on a counter, holds roughly 3 pounds of ice in the basket, and runs a self-cleaning cycle so you are not scrubbing the reservoir by hand. There is no drain line to install: you fill the tank, and melted ice recirculates back so nothing is wasted. It fits home kitchens, small offices, and anyone who likes chewable ice in drinks rather than hard cubes. Best fit for daily ice drinkers and entertainers; it keeps ice fresh while running but is not a deep freezer, so the basket is meant to be scooped, not stockpiled.
Pros
- Makes chewable sonic-style nugget ice most home makers cannot produce
- First batch is ready in about 6 minutes, full basket keeps up with a party
- Self-cleaning cycle and recirculating water mean low upkeep and no drain hookup
Cons
- It makes ice on demand but does not keep a frozen reserve, so ice slowly melts back into the tank if you leave it sitting

Frequently asked questions
Does it need a water line or drain hookup?
No. You pour water into the built-in reservoir and melted ice recirculates back into the tank, so there is no plumbing to install.
How long until the first ice comes out?
About 6 minutes from the first pour for the first batch, then it keeps producing continuously up to roughly 34 pounds over 24 hours.
Is the ice actually soft and chewable?
Yes, it makes soft pellet nugget ice similar to what many drive-through drink chains use, not hard cube ice.
Does it clean itself?
It has a self-cleaning cycle you can run periodically. You should still empty and wipe the reservoir regularly to keep the ice tasting fresh.
