The price tag might seem a little steep for an ice maker, but the Opal is a solid product that does exactly what it advertises. Setup is easy and takes about 20 minutes, requiring only about a square foot of counter space and a cup of water. Simply pour water into the machine, and in about an hour you'll have a pound of nugget ice. And don't worry about hygiene—the Opal has a built-in UV light to help prevent bacteria from building up.

The Opal produces about a pound of ice per hour.
