Govee’s smart nugget ice maker makes every iced drink feel like a luxury
Key takeaways
- For some people, the ice in a beverage is almost as important as the drink itself.
- Govee says that the modern-design gadget delivers nugget ice in as little as six minutes.
- The hefty price tag means it’s not for people who are perfectly happy with refrigerator ice and don t know what “good ice” even means.
For some people, the ice in a beverage is almost as important as the drink itself. That s the audience Govee had in mind when designing its latest ice maker, the Govee Life Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro. This $500 premium smart home gadget is aimed at those who crave what s called “the good ice,” the soft, chewable nugget ice often found in fast food or restaurant drinks.
Govee says that the modern-design gadget delivers nugget ice in as little as six minutes. That s a claim that proved true in my testing. It can make up to 60 pounds of ice per day, and has a 3.5-pound ice basket that automatically refills as you scoop out ice.
The hefty price tag means it’s not for people who are perfectly happy with refrigerator ice and don t know what “good ice” even means. Instead, it’s for self-proclaimed ice enthusiasts willing to splurge on a fun, luxury gadget that makes everyday drinks a little more enjoyable.
