People go out of their way to stop by Sonic’s Drive-In and Costco just to score a cup full of the crunchy, yet slow-melting cubes known as “nugget ice.” And once you’ve had “the good ice,” it’s difficult to settle for lesser cubes.

The $470 Aeitto Nugget Ice Maker lets you enjoy this delicious style of ice without schlepping to a drive-thru, and Amazon is selling it for only $200. Shoppers love this countertop ice maker, saying “this machine is worth every penny.”

It couldn’t be simpler to use. Simply fill the machine with water, press the “ice” button, and enjoy a cup full of nugget ice in as little as five minutes. The machine makes upwards of 40 pounds of ice a day, which amounts to about 144 cups’ worth. Nugget ice cools drinks quickly but is somehow slow to melt. Finishing your drink is half the fun here, because crunching on this ice is one of the most enjoyable things you can do. Like eating kettle chips, it’s a texture thing. The ice is soft and gives way to your chompers, turning into snow in your mouth. As summer approaches, this machine will feel like a godsend when it comes to enjoying cold drinks, especially if you enjoy hosting friends and family.

“It has completely transformed how I serve drinks, ensuring I never run out of ice,” one shopper said. “Considering the high-quality ice, fast production, and convenient features, it’s a fantastic investment for anyone who loves entertaining. This machine is worth every penny.”

The Aeitto Nugget Ice Maker retails for $470, but Amazon is offering it for only $200, but only for a limited time. Add it to your countertop, and get ready to enjoy the coolest summer ever—at least as far as your drinks are concerned.
