- Does it make real nugget ice or crushed ice?
- It makes nugget ice: soft, chewable pellets formed by compacting flake ice. That is different from crushed cube ice.
- Do I need to plumb it in?
- No. It is a countertop unit with a refillable water reservoir, so you only need a power outlet.
- Can I control it with Alexa or Google Assistant?
- Yes. It supports Alexa, Google Assistant and IFTTT, and the app adds timers and remote control.
- How often do I need to empty the basket?
- The internal basket is small, so expect to empty it every batch or two when making ice for several drinks.
- Does it need regular cleaning?
- It has a self-cleaning cycle, but you should still drain and rinse the reservoir regularly to keep ice tasting fresh.
- Is it good for a party?
- For a small gathering, yes, but the modest daily output and small basket mean it works best as a supplement to bagged ice.
