Overview
A kitchen counter with an outlet and room for a small appliance is where this nugget ice maker earns its place. The batch system filters and recirculates water, then freezes it into soft chewable nuggets that drop into the removable bin. A side tank feeds the reservoir so production continues between top fills, and the SmartHQ app handles scheduling and bin lighting.
Chewable nugget ice on the counter, without a water line or a cabinet cutout, is what separates this machine from a freezer tray or a plumbed unit. The batch design means the bin fills in cycles, so output depends on how often you empty it and top up the reservoir and side tank. Upkeep is part of ownership: descaling packets, a reusable air filter and a drain cycle are meant to be run on a schedule.
Who it's for
Nugget ice fans who want chewable ice from a countertop footprint and will keep the reservoir and side tank topped up. Skip it if the machine must connect to a water line, fit under a cabinet, or run without descaling and filter care.
Pros and cons
- Chewable nugget ice, not cubes
- Side tank extends production between refills
- App control for scheduling and bin lighting
- Front panel storage for descaling packets
- No water line connection listed
- Ice bin holds only a small amount
- Manual refills required
- Descaling needed on a schedule
Performance notes
Nugget texture comes from the batch freezing and recirculation cycle, so soft chewable ice depends on the machine running its cycles rather than standing idle. Daily output tracks how often the bin is emptied and the reservoir and side tank are refilled, since the bin stores only a small amount. The drain and dry step and the reusable air filter limit standing water and dust, which is what preserves the freezing path over time.

Frequently asked questions
What comes in the box with the Opal Mini Pro?
The box holds the ice maker, a drip tray, an ice scoop, six descaling powder packets, a descaling filter, a reusable air filter and a half gallon side tank.
How does the side tank change how often I refill?
The included half gallon side tank feeds the reservoir so the machine keeps producing between top fills. The bin still holds only a small amount of ice, so you empty it as it fills.
What kind of ice does the Opal Mini Pro make?
It makes nugget ice, also called pebble or pellet ice, which is soft and chewable rather than a hard cube.
Does the Opal Mini Pro need cleaning?
Yes. It uses descaling powder and a descaling filter, has a reusable air filter, and runs a drain and dry step between cycles. The front panel stores the descaling packets.
