If you\u2019re looking for ways to make staying cool and hydrated easier this summer, Woot<\/a> is currently selling a refurbished GE Profile Opal 2.0 Ultra Nugget Ice Maker <\/strong>for $264.99 through June 3rd. That\u2019s $184 less than buying new at its full price, and comes with a 90-day warranty. If you want a brand new model, it\u2019s also on sale for $359 ($90) at Best Buy<\/a>, or $449 ($50 off) with a side tank included (Amazon<\/a>, Best Buy<\/a>, GE<\/a>).
If you\u2019re unfamiliar with nugget ice, it\u2019s the soft, chewable ice that cools drinks quickly and doesn\u2019t melt as fast as crushed ice. In the week she spent testing it<\/a>, my colleague Jennifer Pattison Tuohy said the countertop appliance quickly became her family\u2019s \u201cfavorite kitchen gadget,\u201d making drinks taste better and even encouraging her kids to stay hydrated. It\u2019s simple to use and makes ice quickly, churning out up to 38 pounds of chewable nugget ice per day. Setup is relatively simple, too, as it doesn\u2019t require plumbing. The machine also supports Wi-Fi, allowing you to schedule ice production or control it with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
While the ice maker does require a lot of maintenance, GE also added some upgrades aimed at making it slightly easier, including a scale-inhibiting water filter, a reusable air filter, and built-in alerts that let you know when it\u2019s time to sanitize or descale. There\u2019s also a touch display for checking status and connecting to Wi-Fi, along with a stainless steel scoop and a magnetic scoop holder.
