Our verdict

A countertop machine for chewable nugget ice without a plumbing line. Buyers who want a large batch at once or a quieter-than-listed machine should look elsewhere.

Overview

What arrives is a countertop appliance, not a plumbed under-counter unit, and it makes soft nugget ice from a pour-in reservoir. The compressor and auger run on household current, so the machine only needs a level surface and an outlet. A one-touch cycle flushes the water path between batches.

Chewable nugget ice at home usually means a machine with an auger, and this one earns its counter space for drinks that call for that texture. The output is steady rather than fast in bulk, and the listing gives no bin capacity, no water reservoir size and no ice basket, so anyone planning parties around it should check those limits first.

Who it's for

A home bar, office kitchenette or dorm room where soft nugget ice for a few glasses matters more than volume. Skip it for a busy bar or a family that empties a full bin at a cookout, since the listing gives no bin or reservoir figures.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Chewable nugget texture
  • Runs on a standard outlet
  • Self-cleaning cycle at one touch
  • Quiet rating for an open kitchen
Cons
  • No bin capacity listed
  • No water reservoir size listed
  • No ice scoop or basket listed
  • Not a plumbed machine

Performance notes

Nugget texture comes from an auger that shaves and compacts ice, which is why the output is soft and chewable instead of cubed. How fast a batch accumulates depends on the water temperature and how often the bin is emptied, and the listing gives no bin capacity to plan around. The self-cleaning cycle handles the water path, while the condenser still needs clear air around the vents.

Frequently asked questions

What comes in the box with the Kismile Z5825NB?

The listing lists the ice maker itself as the only included component. No scoop, ice basket, hose or other accessory is stated, so plan on supplying your own.

Does the Kismile nugget ice maker need to be plumbed in?

No water line is listed. It is a countertop machine that runs on 120 volts and 120 watts, so it needs an outlet and a level surface rather than a plumbing connection.

Where can the Kismile countertop ice maker sit?

Its footprint is 12.2 by 8.27 inches and it stands 11.02 inches high, which suits a counter or a sturdy tabletop near an outlet. Keep the vents clear so the R600a refrigerant circuit can shed heat.

What kind of ice does the Kismile Z5825NB make?

The listing describes nugget and pebble ice, the soft chewable style produced by shaving and compacting rather than freezing clear cubes. First ice is stated at 7 minutes.
