DO YOU ever feel like drinks taste better based on the shape of the ice? Much like cutting a peanut butter sandwich diagonally, there is no scientific proof that it improves the taste, but it doesn’t seem like a coincidence that ice machines are becoming increasingly more popular. On the top of the ice maker list is the GE Profile Opal Countertop Nugget Ice Maker, was rated our Best Overall Nugget Ice Maker.

Having an ice maker conveniently located on your countertop makes refreshing your beverages or filling up your water bottle quicker and easier than ever before. If you're one of the ice aficionados out there who are obsessed with Sonic “nugget” ice (or Raising Cane’s, or Jack in the Box, or Hardee’s), you’ll enjoy how convenient it is to have crunchy ice nuggets at home — especially if you’re an ice chewer (don’t worry, we won’t tell your dentist).

What may soon become your favorite household appliance, the GE Profile Opal Countertop Nugget Ice Maker can hold up to three pounds of ice at one time so you can enjoy a crisp glass of cold water or a refreshing iced coffee whenever the mood strikes. The clear chamber on the front of the ice maker will show you when it's time to replenish so you don't find yourself ice-less.

If you're entertaining for the holidays, this GE Ice Maker is a must-have. Making up to 24 pounds of ice in a day, you can finally serve drinks in the kitchen or bar without running out of ice every couple of hours. No more constantly refilling ice trays or trekking out to the garage to get bags of ice out of the cooler.

The GE Ice Maker's filtration system will keep your ice fresh meaning it won’t absorb all the food smells from your fridge the way in-door ice makers can be known to do. And unlike your refrigerator ice maker, no water hookup is required. Just place it anywhere on your counter and fill the reservoir with water. You’ll have ice in as quickly as 20 minutes.

With Amazon's current deal, the GE Profile Opal Countertop Nugget Ice Maker is 26% off, which translates to a pretty sizable $140 discount. And thanks to Prime shipping, you can still have this brand-new ice maker on your countertop before the family arrives for Christmas dinner.
