I Use This Nugget Ice Maker Every Day And Now It’s The Cheapest It’s Ever Been

I firmly believe that ice has the ability to make or break a drink. There are a lot of factors to consider: how it fits in the glass, how quickly it melts, and, most importantly, how pleasant it is to chew.

That’s right: I’m an unapologetic ice eater. I don’t have anemia or any other underlying health issues; I just genuinely enjoy the textural experience of chewing on ice cubes. And when it comes to picking the right shape, most ice eaters can agree that nuggets are the optimal choice.

Beyond offering the perfect chew, nugget ice comes in small enough pieces to fit in any kind of cup. It also maximizes the surface area of your ice, which means that it’ll cool down your drink faster than virtually any other ice cube.

That’s why you can always find me using the Opal Nugget Ice Maker from GE Profile. I’m not kidding—I fill my cup with this nugget ice sometimes up to three times a day. It’s noticeably increased my water consumption, since I’m motivated to chug my drink to crunch on the ice left behind.

Nugget ice has long been a privilege limited to Chick-fil-A customers and people with access to massive commercial ice makers—until now.

GE Profile’s Opal Nugget Ice Maker is shockingly compact—their 1.0 version is about the same size as an Instant Pot. So it can hang out on your counter for whenever you need to fill your cup.

And these machines hold up to three pounds of ice at a time. So you can have enough ice for yourself and all of your friends. The Opal Nugget Ice Maker keeps churning out fresh ice, too. It makes a pound of ice in just one hour. You will literally never have to live without high quality ice again.

The best part? This Prime Day, you can get this ice machine and enjoy the nugget magic at a seriously steep discount. The GE Profile Nugget Ice Maker is the cheapest it’s ever been.

The original 1.0 version is nearly 50% off at $228. But if you’re feeling like treating yourself, their 2.0 version with an accompanying XL water tank is also on sale at $529. It’s an investment that I can confirm is worth every penny.
