Nugget or bullet ice?
Nugget machines press flaked ice into soft pellets; bullet machines freeze hollow cylinders around probes. The shape is a documented design, not a quality score.

What this catalogue covers
Plug-in countertop ice makers sold new in the US with a manual reservoir or an included side tank. Undercounter, plumbed, commercial and clear-cube machines, and any ice-quality, noise or taste ranking, are outside this catalogue.
Specifications come from the linked manufacturer documents and seller listings. We have not independently tested these products.
Before you choose.
Under what conditions was the daily figure measured?
Rated pounds per day drop at higher ambient and water temperatures. Compare figures only when the stated conditions match, and treat missing conditions as unknown.
How will water reach the machine?
A manual reservoir needs refilling; a side tank is a separate container that feeds the reservoir and is included only when the exact package says so.
