Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Opal 2.0 ice maker, particularly the excellent ice quality and ease of use. The side tank and its convenient size for countertop placement are also well-received. However, some customers have concerns regarding the noise level and long-term reliability, while others feel the cleaning process is a bit lengthy.

    I LOVE this machine when it works. I have purchased 3 of them in the last 4 years. About 14 months is all you are going to get out of it (just outside of the warranty). I clean it with vinegar once a month and use nothing but bottled water in it but it still doesn’t last longer than 14 months. Sadly, I am going to try a different brand on the next purchase.

    When it works, it’s great! The water pump gives out just after expiration of warranty, which appears to be a common problem per internet research.

    There are a lot of good reviews, but definitely make sure to read the bad reviews, too. I bought mine, assuming the best. But my first one stopped working after 3 weeks. I did work with the warranty company to get a new one, which which didn't work properly out of the box. Very concerning that two of them I've received stopped working so soon after receiving them. When it does work, the ice is great. But I would think very hard about if the ice is worth the headache.
