Newair Countertop Nugget Ice Maker, 26 lbs/Day (NIM026MBN0 / NIM026SSN0) review

The Newair Countertop Nugget Ice Maker suits buyers who want soft, chewable ice from a smaller machine with a longer warranty. Newair rates it at up to 26 pounds a day with the first batch in about 10 minutes. The removable 1.8 pound basket and BPA-free scoop are both dishwasher-safe, and an easy-pour spout lets you add water without pulling the basket. Indicator lights cover Ice Full, Add Water and Ice/Clean, and a one-touch cycle handles cleaning. The unit measures 8.7 by 11.3 by 12.7 inches and weighs 18.7 pounds, and it is ETL and cETL certified. Newair includes a 2-year warranty, the longest full warranty among the nugget models under $300 here. The sale price was $199.99, against a regular $309.99, on Newair's US store as of November 2026. Output is the trade-off: Costway's nugget model lists 44 pounds a day for $70 more. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run ice tests.
