Nugget ice makers are trending for a reason
There's nothing quite like the crunch of Sonic nugget ice. After all, those slushies and drinks are a big reason why the iconic fast-food chain has remained popular for decades. Now that summer has arrived, the thought of having some of the cult-favorite ice at home is pretty appealing. Luckily, there is a variety of nugget ice makers you can buy for your home that range from top-of-the-line to super affordable, so there's one for everyone. We've rounded up our favorites, so the only thing left to do is decide which cool drink you'll be enjoying on those warm sunny ice, also known as pellet ice, has a rough side and a smooth side because it's made of ice flakes rather than a single cube. This is why it's much lighter than regular ice, has an airier texture and doesn't melt as fast in your drink, which eliminates the hassle of a watered-down beverage. This makes it perfect for cocktails and mixed drinks, but for most, the chewable, soft texture is what is so appealing. EUHOMY Nugget Ice Maker This ice maker can make up to 34 pounds in one day. It features a clear bin that lets you see how much ice is available and a removable basket. The ice is ready in six minutes. Frigidaire Countertop Crunchy Chewable Nugget Ice Maker This chic nugget ice maker is slim enough to fit on a countertop and yet makes up to 44 pounds of ice a day. The bin holds three pounds at a time, and the ice is ready within 15 minutes. Silonn Countertop Ice Maker This affordable nugget ice maker makes two types of cubes and has a handle for easy transport and a self-cleaning basket. Joy Pebble Nugget Ice Machine This ice maker operates quietly, has a light to indicate when the bin is full and features a self-cleaning mode that starts at the touch of a button. GE Profile Opal Countertop Nugget Ice Maker with Side Tank This nugget ice maker might cost more, but it's worth the splurge. It recirculates melted ice, which means clumping isn't an issue. It takes less than 15 minutes to produce the first batch of ice, it makes up to 24 pounds daily and it has an indicator light that'll let you know you're running low.
