At the budget end of the category these two turn up on the same shortlist constantly. Both make bullet ice, their rated output is near-identical at 26.5 lb and 26 lb per 24 hours, and both cost a fraction of a nugget machine.
The differences are physical rather than mechanical, which makes this an unusually easy decision once you have measured your counter.

Product A
AGLUCKY
AGLUCKY Countertop Ice Maker with Handle
Budget ($)
Best for: moving between kitchen, patio and camper
A conventional bullet-ice countertop machine rated at 26.5 lb per 24 hours, with a carry handle on the body and a 1.2-litre tank. It is the practical answer for anyone who mainly wants a lot of ice quickly and cheaply rather than chewable nugget ice specifically.
Product B
Silonn
Silonn SLIM01 Countertop Ice Maker
Budget ($)
Best for: narrow counters where width is the constraint
A slim-bodied bullet-ice machine rated at 26 lb per 24 hours with a choice of two cube sizes. Its narrow chassis is the selling point: it fits counters where a nugget machine simply will not.

What they share
Bullet ice, a rating of roughly 26 lb per 24 hours, reservoir filling with no plumbing, a small unrefrigerated basket and a self-cleaning function.
Neither makes nugget or clear cube ice, and neither is intended to keep ice frozen.
Shape decides it
The Silonn is built narrow, which is why it fits between a kettle and a toaster where other machines do not.
The AGLUCKY trades a little of that for a carry handle, which is what you want if the machine moves to the patio at weekends.
Matching the machine to the room
For a permanent kitchen spot in a small apartment, the Silonn's profile is the practical advantage.
For a household that hosts outdoors, keeps a camper, or wants ice near the barbecue, the handle wins every time.

Frequently asked questions
Final verdict
Same ice, same output, different bodies. Buy the Silonn SLIM01 if counter width is your problem, and the AGLUCKY if the machine needs to travel. If you find yourself wishing either made chewable ice, neither is the answer — step up to a nugget machine instead.
