BRIO 740I 44LB NUGGET

What we found

This is the Brio 740i countertop nugget ice maker (Costco item 2002648, model IMCT740ISC), which makes up to 44 pounds of soft, chewable nugget ice in 24 hours. It sits on a counter and plugs into a standard household outlet, with no plumbing needed — you fill the 2.66-liter side water tank by hand, and a light tells you when it needs more. The cabinet is stainless steel with a touch control panel, indicator lights for power, add water and full bin, a lit storage bin so you can see the ice level, and a one-touch self-cleaning cycle. The first batch of ice is ready roughly 10 to 15 minutes after it starts, and a stainless steel scoop is included. It stands about 16.5 inches tall and is roughly 19 inches front to back, so measure under-cabinet clearance and counter depth before you come for it; it suits homes, offices or bars that go through a lot of chewable ice.
