How we compiled this
Roster covers high-search countertop and nugget ice makers sold in the US residential market. Every product was independently re-verified against primary sources (GE Appliances, NewAir.com, MagicChef.com, Euhomy.com, Govee.com) and the PR Newswire CES 2026 release for GoveeLife, with retailer/review corroboration (Amazon, Lowe's, Reviewed.com, Ice Artisan, The Ice Maker Hub, ShouldIt.com). Prices are MSRP or manufacturer/primary-retailer list price; for discontinued GE Opal models the current GE Appliances sale price is recorded alongside the original MSRP. Boolean specs reflect the base model; null means the feature could not be confirmed (a null beats a guess). Capacity figures are manufacturer-stated unless a testing source corrected them, in which case provenance notes it. All 14 draft products were confirmed to exist; none removed. accessedAt 2026-06-19.
