Govee’s new ice maker
Govee has launched the GoveeLife Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro, a $500 countertop machine designed to make soft, chewable nugget ice in as little as six minutes.
“A premium countertop machine promises restaurant-style nugget ice in minutes and quieter operation”
TechCrunch says the claim “proved true in my testing,” with the device able to make up to 60 pounds of ice per day and featuring a 3.5-pound ice basket that automatically refills as you scoop out ice.

The Zamin.uz write-up also ties the product’s appeal to speed, saying the ice maker produces the first ice cubes within just six minutes of being started and supports remote control via the GoveeHome app.
Both outlets describe the basic operation as filling the tank with water and starting the machine, with TechCrunch adding that the app can start production from a phone or schedule it for times like before morning coffee.
App, voice, and noise
GoveeLife Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro control is built around the GoveeHome app, which TechCrunch says lets you start ice production from your phone or schedule it so ice is ready when you need it.
TechCrunch also reports that the app shows ice production in real time and how much is currently in the ice bin, which it frames as useful for stopping production when you want a certain amount.

The device supports voice commands with Alexa and Google Assistant, and TechCrunch gives an example: “Hey Google, start the ice maker,” to trigger fresh ice.
For noise, TechCrunch says the ice maker uses AI NoiseGuard technology to keep operating noise low and is designed to operate at around 40 dB, with automatic defrosting cycles to minimize noise and help ensure a steady supply of ice.
Lighting, size, and setup
The ice maker’s ambient lighting is a core part of the experience, with TechCrunch saying it “offers customizable ambient lighting” and that the machine’s light illuminates the ice basket.
“Govee, a brand well-established in thesmart homegadgets market, has launched its next innovative product — the Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro”
TechCrunch describes keeping the lights on a light pink setting and switching to a “cyberpunk” mode that casts a changing purple and red glow, while Zamin.uz similarly highlights a “cyberpunk” mode that creates a futuristic atmosphere.
In physical terms, TechCrunch measures the unit at 17.28 inches deep, 13.98 inches wide, and 17.01 inches tall, and says it weighs 50 pounds, while Zamin.uz describes dimensions as approximately 43 cm in height and width and weighing over 22 kg.
Setup is described as straightforward but requiring help for placement and later for moving it during descaling and cleaning, and TechCrunch adds that the ice melted more slowly than fridge ice, helping drinks stay colder for longer.
