Overview
EUHOMY built the IM013 around the chewable nugget ice that soda fountains made popular, and the numbers back up the appeal. It starts producing in about 7 minutes and can put out roughly 35 pounds over a full day, which is enough to keep cups topped up through dinners, parties, and the after-school rush.
At 11 by 9.1 by 12.6 inches it has a true countertop footprint, and the stainless steel exterior reads a step more polished than the all-plastic budget machines. It comes with an ice scoop and basket, runs on a standard 115-volt outlet, and includes a self-cleaning cycle so upkeep stays simple.
At $179.99 it sits in the middle of the nugget-ice pack: more than a basic bullet-cube maker, but priced fairly for the soft ice and the faster start. A 4.4-star rating across more than 4,600 reviews suggests most buyers are satisfied with how it performs day to day.

Performance notes
With about 35 lbs of daily output and a 7-minute first batch, this is sized for steady household use rather than occasional cubes. The nugget format means ice melts a little faster than dense cubes, so it's best enjoyed fresh. The self-cleaning function and removable basket keep the reservoir easy to manage, and the 115-volt draw works on any standard kitchen outlet.
What buyers say
Buyers most often praise the chewable texture of the ice and how quickly the machine starts producing. Owners also like the stainless look and the self-cleaning feature. The most common complaints with countertop nugget makers like this center on noise during the cycle and the need to keep the reservoir filled, since it isn't connected to a water line.
