Euhomy 34 lb Nugget Ice Maker

Should you buy the Euhomy 34 lb Nugget Ice Maker?

The Euhomy 34 lb Nugget Ice Maker is for someone who wants nugget ice at the lowest sensible price and plans to use it as they make it. At $142.38 it ranks #4 of 10 nugget ice makers and carries the second-best Value score in the group. It is compact enough for a dorm, RV or small apartment counter. If you want ice that is still ice four hours later, the Gevi V2.0 is the one with real insulation. If you want the absolute cheapest option, the Silonn SLIM17B is $45 less.

Where it earns its score

• Value leads the score. Value hits 92 for 34 lb of nugget ice per day at $142.38.
• Fast first ice. About 6 minutes from start, which is quicker than the Gevi or any GE unit.
• Small footprint with a handle. Under 9.5 inches wide and under 12 inches deep, with a carry handle and an angled opening for scooping.
• Self-cleaning. An auto-clean function and removable parts make upkeep straightforward.

What to know first

• Warranty is the weakest ViperScore factor. One year scores 55, and owners report failures at roughly the one-year mark.
• Poor bin insulation. Ice melts within hours, so this is a make-and-use machine, not a stockpiler.
• Wet first batches. Expect slushy ice on the first cycle after a fill.
• No side tank, no app. The Smart IM023 variant adds Alexa and 40 lb per day if you want those.
