Overview
Aeitto's NIMA countertop unit makes nugget style ice, the softer, chewable cubes common in sonic-style drinks, producing up to 55 lbs a day from a 3.6L water tank with a 3.2 lb ice basket.
Nugget ice differs from hard cube ice in texture, being softer and easier to chew, which is the appeal for cocktails and smoothies where cube ice can feel harsh. The 5-minute release cycle and automatic sensor-based cycling are meant to keep a countertop unit topped up without constant attention.
- 55 lbs of nugget ice per 24 hours
- 3.6L water tank, 3.2 lb ice basket
- 5 minute ice release cycle
- Self-cleaning mode with sensor-based auto cycling
Who it's for
Suits anyone who prefers chewable nugget ice for drinks at home, office or small gatherings and wants a countertop unit rather than a built-in ice maker. Less suited to someone who specifically wants hard, slow-melting cube ice, since nugget ice melts faster by nature.
Pros and cons
- Produces chewable nugget ice rather than standard hard cubes
- 5 minute ice release cycle
- Automatic sensor-based cycling pauses and resumes on its own
- Self-clean mode with a simple button hold
- 3.2 lb ice basket is small relative to the 55 lb daily output, so ice needs regular transfer to storage
- No rating or review data available yet
Performance notes
The 3.6L tank and 3.2 lb basket are sized to run through several cycles before refilling, with each cycle releasing ice in about 5 minutes. An infrared sensor pauses production once basket ice rises above it and resumes automatically about 30 minutes after the level drops, keeping the machine running unattended. Self-cleaning is triggered by holding the clean button for 3 seconds and finishes in about 15 minutes.
