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.

Ferment Brewing Company and Oregon Wildlife Foundation offer collab beer
An ale for frog safety
Ferment Red Legged Ale.

One of our favorite west coast breweries has teamed up with a local critter advocacy group in the name of our amphibian friends. Ferment Brewing has dropped the Red Legged Ale in partnership with the Oregon Wildlife Foundation (OWF), working together to support red-legged frogs of the Pacific Northwest.

Every year around this time, red-legged frogs move from Forest Park in Portland to wetlands closer to the Columbia River Gorge to lay eggs. It's a dangerous journey these days, given all the highways and roads in the area that have paved over their ancient migration route. The solution? Not just a delicious beer that helps support the cause, but a push for a protected route for the amphibians as well.
