Our take on the Simzlife 35 Lbs. Nugget Ice Maker Countertop

The Simzlife 35 lb Nugget Ice Maker is a countertop machine that makes chewable pellet ice, the soft kind sold at fast-food drive-throughs. It is portable and rated for 35 pounds of ice per day, enough for a household's drinks and a small gathering. At $149.99 at Target as of November 3, 2026, it sits at the low end of what nugget makers cost, well under the $300 to $500 premium brands charge.

Questions and answers

Is the Simzlife nugget ice maker worth it?
If you want chewable pellet ice at home and do not want to spend $300 or more, it is a reasonable buy at $149.99 at Target as of November 3, 2026. Expect budget-level speed and noise rather than premium performance.
How much ice does it make per day?
Simzlife rates it at 35 pounds per day. Real output depends on room temperature and how often you empty the bin.
Does it need a water line?
No. It is a portable countertop unit with a refillable water reservoir, so you fill it by hand and drain it when needed.
How does it compare with a GE Profile or Opal nugget ice maker?
Those premium machines cost several times more but typically run quieter and produce ice faster. The Simzlife trades some of that polish for a much lower price.
What do I need to do to maintain it?
Descale and drain it regularly, and dry the bin between uses. Nugget machines build up mineral scale, which affects taste and output.
When is it cheapest?
Nugget ice makers usually drop during holiday sales and in summer promotions. The current best new price is $149.99 at Target as of November 3, 2026.
