EUHOMY Nugget Ice Maker, 1.8 lb Basket

For iced coffee at the kitchen counter, drinks during a get-together, or a small RV setup, nugget ice can be more satisfying than standard hard cubes. The EUHOMY countertop ice maker is designed to produce soft, chewable pellet ice, with the maker stating that the first batch is ready in as little as 6 minutes and daily output can reach 38 lbs. A built-in handle makes it easier to move between spots, though its 1.8 lb basket is a collection point—not a large reserve for serving a crowd all at once.

How to use it

Fill the 1.2 Qt water tank, press the button, and let the machine make ice, the “ADD WATER” and “ICE FULL” alerts indicate when it needs attention. The viewing window lets you check progress without lifting the lid, while the removable basket and scoop make it straightforward to collect and serve the nuggets. Picture setting it beside an iced-coffee station: people can scoop ice into their glasses as batches are ready, rather than relying on one large store of ice from the start.

The stated 6-minute start time and up-to-38-lb daily production are useful context, but they don’t mean the basket holds that much at once. You’ll still need to keep an eye on the alerts and refill the reservoir as needed. How much does a quick first batch help if you need ice for several people at the same moment? That depends on how steadily you can run and collect batches.

Pros

The main appeal is the nugget format: small, airy pieces suit iced coffee, smoothies, sodas, cocktails, and chewing ice, rather than the slower-melting, harder cubes some buyers prefer. A one-touch self-cleaning cycle, lift-up top, removable lid, and removable basket make routine handling less involved. The unit is listed at under 45 dB, and it includes a handle for carrying between a home counter, office, RV, or party setup. It’s a great fit if you want chewable ice on demand and have room to run a countertop appliance. Better avoided if you need a large built-in ice supply or specifically want conventional cubes, this machine is focused on nugget ice and has a modest basket capacity.

Buying verdict

This EUHOMY model makes most sense when chewable nugget ice is the priority and you’re happy to run a countertop machine in batches. Compared with a basic tray-and-freezer approach, it offers a faster route to fresh pellet ice and avoids filling trays by hand, compared with a setup intended to hold a large supply, its basket means more active collecting and attention. The self-cleaning cycle is convenient, but the product details don’t explain all ongoing care requirements, so don’t assume one button replaces every cleaning task. Choose it for drinks at home or a portable ice station where the handle is useful, skip it if you need a high-capacity reserve ready without monitoring the machine.
