Social media has deemed nugget ice to be the perfect form for chewing and cooling down your soda, water, iced teas and iced coffees. Sadly, not all refrigerators or ice trays can create the beloved shape and consistency, but thankfully, TikTok has discovered a countertop home appliance that users claim to be the best nugget ice maker on the market — and it’s currently at its lowest price yet.

GE’s Profile Opal Nugget Ice Maker is being discounted on Walmart for a total steal at 31% off. Normally, the bestselling ice machine is priced at $579, but for a limited-time you can score the kitchen appliance for $182 off, bringing the price down to under $400 for the first time. The nugget ice maker has been viral for more than a year now, first getting recognition in 2023 on TikTok with users saying “once you get a pebble ice maker there’s no going back.” It’s most likely due to its luxurious features, like how the device can run 24/7 and keeps ice cold, eliminating the need to move it over into the freezer.

User Jess Maple currently has 1.8 million views for a video showing off the GE nugget ice maker’s sleek design as well as giving you a close up look at the ice it produces. “You get ice within 15 minutes, it’s really fast,” Maple says in the TikTok video, while scooping the ice into a Stanley Cup. “The most crisp, perfect ice ever.”

Since the machine is so beloved, keeping it in stock has been difficult — and now that it’s on sale for its lowest price yet, the nugget ice machine has a high potential of selling out. Keep reading to buy GE’s Profile Opal Nugget Ice Machine online now (before it’s too late).
