Typhur’s countertop ice maker focuses on one thing: producing chewable nugget ice, fast. This is the soft, crunchy texture popular in sodas and cocktails, and the machine delivers up to 35 pounds of it in a day. The stainless steel housing gives it a durable, kitchen-ready look that avoids feeling like cheap plastic.

It makes its first batch in about 15 minutes. The 1.5-liter water tank and 2.6-pound ice basket mean you can fill a few glasses quickly, though for a large party you’ll be refilling the tank throughout the day. At 150 watts, it’s efficient for an appliance that runs in cycles. The included self-cleaning pump is a practical feature, helping to manage mineral buildup with regular use.

The dual ice scoops and eight cleaning packets are thoughtful inclusions. Just know this is a dedicated ice maker, not a refrigerator. You’ll need to use the ice or transfer it to a freezer, as it will melt if left sitting. For daily nugget ice on demand, it’s a straightforward solution.
