The Kismile Z5825NB is a compact countertop nugget ice maker that turns out chewable, soft nugget ice rather than hard cubes. It holds 1.1 liters of water and is rated for up to 34 lbs of ice in 24 hours, so it keeps a household supplied through the day. Its 12.68 x 11.3 x 8.66 inch footprint fits under most upper cabinets, and at 136 watts it draws modest power. It suits people who want Sonic-style chewable ice at home without a plumbed-in machine; rivals in this class typically cost more and are bulkier, but they often add a larger reservoir or a self-cleaning cycle. Owners rate it well overall, though some complain about noise and the small tank needing frequent refills.

Owners rate it 4.3 out of 5 and generally like the chewable nugget ice and the small footprint. Complaints center on noise and how often the tank needs refilling.
This countertop ice maker makes chewable nugget ice. The ice is made from crushed ice cut with blades. It is chewable and brittle, and it melts at a rate that preserves the flavor of drinks. The water tank holds 1.1 liters, and the ice maker can produce up to 34 lbs of ice in 24 hours.
It runs with low noise and uses a single button. A transparent lid lets you watch the ice being made, and a holder keeps the ice scoop within reach. An indicator light turns on when the water is low or the ice basket is full.
For cleaning, hold the ICE/CLEAN button for 5 seconds. The ring indicator flashes white and a 15-minute cleaning cycle runs, then exits automatically. Pressing the button again during the cycle stops it right away.
