Gevi GIMN- 1000B Nugget Ice Maker, 38 lb/24h, Black, Self-Cleaning

Gevi’s GIMN- 1000B makes chewable nugget ice and offers manual or automatic water filling, so you can choose between topping it up yourself and connecting it for continued filling. Its listed production is 38 pounds in 24 hours, making it relevant for a home kitchen or office that uses more than a few cubes at a time.

The unit also has a self-cleaning function and double-layer insulation. Keep in mind that its countertop footprint is 17.3"D x 9.7"W x 16.7"H, so available space matters before choosing it.

What to know

This is a countertop nugget ice maker, not a standard-cube machine. Its soft, chewable ice is intended for drinks and snacking, and the maker can produce up to 38 pounds over 24 hours. The product information says ice production starts in about 5 minutes, with a first batch in 10 minutes or less, actual output may depend on operating conditions, so treat those figures as guidance rather than a guarantee for every setup.

Water can be added manually or through the automatic filling option. The listed package includes a 10 ft 1/4-inch hose, an ice basket, an ice scoop, and a user manual. An infrared sensor pauses production when the basket is full and turns on an indicator light. A touch panel provides On/Off and Clean buttons, while the internal cleaning system is intended to help with routine maintenance and mineral buildup.

The insulated design is described as retaining up to 85% of the ice’s original temperature for 12 hours at 80°F ambient temperature. That is useful for serving over a stretch of time, but the product description recommends moving ice to a freezer for longer-term storage. The stated operating noise is about 50 dB, which may be worth considering if the machine will sit near a quiet workspace.

Quick sizing guide

At 17.3 inches deep, 9.7 inches wide, and 16.7 inches high, the Gevi needs a countertop spot that can accommodate its full dimensions. Leave room around the vents for heat dissipation, as the manufacturer notes that high internal temperatures can affect ice-making capacity. It suits you if you have a dedicated counter area and want nugget ice available at home or in an office. Not the best choice if the available surface cannot fit the listed dimensions or provide airflow around the vents.

Everyday use

For a drink station or a small gathering, the nugget format offers a different experience from hard, conventional cubes: it is designed to be chewable and can be served with beverages or on its own. The basket-full sensor helps manage production when ice has accumulated, and the two filling methods let you choose between manual refills and automatic water supply. Compared with a simpler ice tray or a basic cube maker, this model focuses on ongoing countertop production and nugget-style ice, a freezer-based approach may make more sense if you only need occasional ice or want to store it for longer.

Questions before you buy

How much ice can it make? The listed capacity is 38 pounds in 24 hours. The product information says production begins in about 5 minutes and the first batch is ready in 10 minutes or less.

Can it be connected to an automatic water supply? Yes. It supports manual filling and automatic filling, and the listed included components include a 10 ft 1/4-inch hose.

Will ice stay in the machine for long-term storage? The insulation is described as retaining up to 85% of the ice’s original temperature for 12 hours at 80°F. For longer storage, the manufacturer recommends transferring the ice to a freezer.

Should you buy it?

Choose the GIMN- 1000B if chewable nugget ice, countertop production, and a choice of manual or automatic water filling match your routine. Its dimensions, need for vent clearance, and recommendation to use a freezer for longer storage are practical considerations, especially if counter space is limited or you want to keep ice on hand for extended periods. The product’s stated capacity and included basket and scoop make its intended use clear: regular access to nugget ice without relying only on trays or buying it ready-made.
