Some ice makers are meant for occasional drinks, this countertop nugget ice maker is designed to make chewable ice available at home or in an office.

Its compacted pebble ice works in sodas, cocktails, and slushies.

Who it’s for

The Kismile Z5825NB suits households and office spaces that want nugget ice close at hand without making a separate trip to buy it. Its countertop footprint measures 12.2 inches deep, 8.27 inches wide, and 11.02 inches high, making it practical for a spot where an appliance needs to stay within reach. Use it to prepare ice for everyday drinks, or keep it available when serving several beverages at home.

The pebble-style ice is made from layered ice flakes, giving it a chewable texture and a slower melt.

Why it’s worth it

Buyers often praise the nugget texture and compact size, while feedback is mixed on noise, reliability, and how much ice the machine produces in practice.
