TikTok is obsessed with this top-rated ice maker - and now it's finally on sale for Prime Big Deal Days

Whether it’s for making your own smoothies, frappés, or cocktails at home, having a fresh supply of chewable ice always on hand is a little luxury that makes iced beverages so much better. And, now, that luxury is more affordable, thanks to the Prime Big Deal Days deal on the GE Profile Opal 2.0 XL countertop nugget ice maker. Forget about ever having to go to the store for bagged ice ever again. During the October 8th and 9th sale, this top-rated ice maker is 17% off, which means you can score it for way less than its usual $600+ price tag.

Viral on TikTok, this ice maker is known for its fluffy, chewable ice, also known as nugget ice, that many people find superior to traditional hard cubes, especially when used in drinks. Plus, the Opal makes up to 38 pounds of ice per day, a capacity that’s large enough to use for a house party or gathering. The countertop setup with an ice drawer makes it easy for both kids and adults to grab the ice anytime they need it. It even comes with a scoop! In addition, the built-in LED display adds a modern touch to your kitchen while enabling simple control of the machine’s functions. The machine, which is now under $500, is also fully compatible with Alexa and Google voice control (if that’s your thing).

Another major plus of the Opal? You don’t need to hire a Task Rabbit to set it up. Forget about hooking it up to an external water source, a requirement that many other ice makers demand. This ice maker comes equipped with its own 1-gallon water tank that you can remove to fill up in your kitchen sink. When the ice maker’s water is running low, the built-in wifi capabilities and SmartHQ app will alert you to its status. The app also lets you monitor the device’s health and schedule ice-making.

Although iced beverage season is winding down, you won’t want to miss an incredible deal on this machine during the Prime Big Deal Days 2024 sale.

For those unaware, bitters are concentrated flavor extracts made with herbs, spices, fruits, and other ingredients. They are used in cocktail recipes. If you enjoy mixed drinks like the classic Old Fashioned or timeless Sazerac, you probably know the importance of bitters. The only problem is that if you plan to use bitters to make mocktails, you can't. This is because traditional bitters have a neutral alcohol base. That is, until now.
