Churn Up a New Ice Age With $50 Off This GE Nugget Ice Maker
· Vice
Today’s the day. Not only does June 23 mark the start of Prime Day, but it also marks the beginning of the other retail giants’ attempts to fend off Amazon by beating it at its own game. Target fired back with its own Target Circle Deal Days, and we’re starting to see some sweet deals that aren’t on Amazon. Take this GE Profile Opal 2.0 Ultra Nugget Ice Maker for example. It’s marked as $399, down from $449.
no fridge ice maker? NO worries.

The GE Profile Opal 2.0 Ultra—quite a fancy name for a machine that adds water plus cold to produce ice nuggets—can make 1.6 pounds of ice per hour. That’s up to 38 pounds per day, a metric more commonly used in ice makers’ marketing.
I love how snarky GE Profile got with calling out the unnamed competition for producing “imitation ice nuggets,” calling its ice nuggets “legit” by comparison. GE’s swagger says their ice nuggets are crunchy and chewable. There’s some truth to what they’re saying. Not all ice is created the same, and as hipstery as it makes me sound, I begrudgingly admit that there is some mouthful and chewiness that can make ice vary from one maker to the next.
