EUHOMY IM047 Countertop Nugget Ice Maker 40 lb

Overview

Countertop nugget ice makers trade hard cubes for soft, chewable pellets, and EUHOMY's IM047-VC produces a batch in 4 to 5 minutes, up to 40 lbs in 24 hours. It has a 1.3 qt water tank, a removable 1.3 lb basket, a carry handle and a 5-minute self-clean cycle. It is ETL certified with a 1-year service warranty.

Because the bin is not refrigerated, ice will start to melt if the machine sits idle, so owners who use it heavily tend to run it continuously and move finished ice to a separate container. Customer service came up unprompted in more than one review, with the company replacing a broken part at no charge.

• Up to 40 lbs of nugget ice per 24 hours
• 4 to 5 minute ice cycle, 1.3 qt tank
• Self-cleaning cycle and ice-full/add-water alerts
• Rated under 45 dB, ETL certified

Who it's for

Households, RVs or small offices that go through ice quickly and prefer soft, chewable pellets over hard cubes will get the most use from it. It is less suited to anyone wanting ice that stores itself in the machine's bin for days, since it is not a freezer.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Ice forms in 4 to 5 minutes per cycle and the machine signals when the basket is full or when it needs more water. Noise stayed low enough for a bedroom or office, matching the rated sound level.
