Typhur Fast Nugget Ice Maker
Score: 54/100Rankings
The NewAir ClearIce40 is a countertop ice maker delivering crystal-clear cubes and a high 40 lb daily output in fast 7-minute cycles. Its small storage bin, lack of self-cleaning and timer, and occasional noise limit convenience. Best for home bartenders and small-party hosts who value clear ice over large on-board storage.
The Typhur countertop nugget ice maker provides compact, lightweight operation with pebble ice and a convenient self-cleaning pump. Its modest 35 lb/day capacity and small storage limit high-volume use. Suited for home kitchens, RVs, and small gatherings.

Professional reviewers and editors consistently commend the ClearIce40 for its high-quality crystal-clear ice, rapid 7-minute production cycles, and insulated design that keeps ice solid longer. They view it as a dependable countertop solution for home bars, emphasizing its BPA-free construction and ease of use, while noting the lack of self-cleaning, timer, and reversible door as notable omissions.
Everyday users praise the clear ice quality, quick cycle times, and compact footprint that fits small spaces. Recurring themes include frustration with the small 2-2.4 lb basket that fills rapidly, the need for manual draining and cleaning, and occasional operational noise.
“no way it holds 39.7 pounds of daily output at once”
Professional reviewers praise the Typhur CM03 for its precise zirconia‑encased sensors, robust Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi combo, and long 400 ft range, noting that the app’s intelligent algorithms simplify doneness predictions. They also commend the IP67 waterproof probes for durability. However, they criticize the limited ambient sensor accuracy and the Wi‑Fi’s 2.4 GHz‑only limitation.
Everyday users commonly highlight the rapid two‑minute charge that yields two hours of operation and the reliable app alerts that help avoid overcooking. The long-range signal and straightforward setup are also frequently praised, while no major complaints dominate the limited feedback available.
