Ice comes out just right, soft enough for drinks but not mushy. Machine feels solid, like it will last years.

Small but powerful. We push it hard during lunch rush, and it keeps up. Ice quality is consistent, every time.

This countertop nugget ice dispenser is amazing for our small café. Ice is soft, chewable, and easy to scoop. Feels like it was built for busy mornings.
