Our take on the Mainstays Countertop Ice Maker, Nugget Ice, 35 lb Per Day

The Mainstays Countertop Ice Maker is a compact countertop machine that makes nugget ice, the soft chewable kind you get from a Sonic or a hospital ice machine. It claims up to 35 lb per day and holds 1.2 L of water in its reservoir. One-button operation plus ice-full and low-water alerts keep it simple to run. It suits small kitchens, dorm rooms, home bars and anyone who wants chewable ice without a plumbed-in appliance. Against rival nugget makers, it is a basic no-frills unit: no app, no scheduling, and a small reservoir that needs frequent refills.
