Kismile HZB-20DN Nugget Ice Maker, 44 lb/24H, Self-Cleaning, Black

Soft, chewable nugget ice gives drinks a crunchy texture and chills them without the hard cubes of a conventional ice maker. The Kismile HZB-20DN makes up to 44 pounds of ice per day, bringing a steady supply of pebble-style ice to a home kitchen, bar, or office.

Its removable 2.4-liter water tank makes refilling straightforward, while the ice-level indicator helps you see when it’s time to replenish the supply. Need ice for a round of cocktails or an afternoon of cold drinks? Place a cup beneath the dispenser and use the lever to release ice without handling it with a scoop.

The countertop design measures 16.34 inches deep, 10.63 inches wide, and 16.93 inches high. It adds nugget ice-making to a kitchen or beverage station without requiring a separate appliance setup.

What you’ll notice day to day

The HZB-20DN is built around a particular kind of ice: soft, crunchy nuggets that are easy to chew and work well in everyday drinks, slushies, and cocktails. Compared with choosing a machine that makes standard hard cubes, this model is for people who specifically want the texture of pebble ice at home. Its slow-melting quality is designed to help drinks retain their flavor as the ice melts.

A daily production capacity of 44 pounds supports regular use as well as gatherings where several people need cold drinks. The removable water tank holds 2.4 liters, and the visible ice-level indicator makes it easier to keep an eye on the supply. Buyers have praised its operation and ice production, with feedback describing it as effective for home use.

Worth noting

Dispensing is simple: position a cup under the outlet and operate the lever. That approach avoids scooping ice by hand and makes the machine convenient at a kitchen counter or self-serve beverage area. The stainless-steel body gives the appliance a clean look, while its black finish suits a range of countertop setups.

Insulation helps keep the ice frozen for up to five hours, so the supply can remain available between rounds of drinks. The machine’s dimensions are 16.34 inches deep by 10.63 inches wide by 16.93 inches high. Consider the available counter space and place it where the dispenser and removable tank are accessible for regular use.

Care & maintenance

For a routine clean, hold the ON/OFF button for five seconds to start the self-cleaning cycle, the cycle takes 10 minutes. The removable tank can be taken out for refilling and cleaning, and the drain plug provides a practical way to empty the unit when needed. These features make regular upkeep part of the countertop routine rather than a separate, complicated task.

When it makes sense

Choose this countertop nugget ice maker if the texture of soft, chewable ice matters as much as having ice ready for drinks. It suits a home bar, kitchen, or office where people can dispense a cup at a time, and its daily output is useful for keeping up with frequent beverage service or a get-together. The removable 2.4-liter tank, ice-level indicator, and self-cleaning function support straightforward day-to-day use. For a dedicated supply of pebble-style ice without relying on standard cube trays or separately sourced ice, the HZB-20DN brings production and dispensing together in one countertop appliance.
