    Briefly, this ice maker is quiet and fast, however, I noticed one issue may make the customers confusing that it always has air choking. the solution is to raise the water tank to put the air out.

    Love the ice maker when it worked. This is the second one we purchased. Both barely made it a year before they quit working. Expensive piece of JUNK

    Love the ice, when it works. This is our second one. First one never worked, this one constantly stops pulling water from the Reservoir and it has to be taken apart.

    Do not waste your money. After about 9 months it started making an awful screaching noise and GE was 0 help. I wish I would have read the reviews before I bought this. Very disappointed

    I was so excited about getting this. I Bought this icemaker and returned it 24 hours later. It makes a loud grinding noise that is not normal. After looking at other reviews, I can see that they have a huge problem for such an expensive item.

    The GE Opal countertop ice maker has ended up being a fluke. After about a month of use, it began saying “add water” after pulling all The water in the tank into the internal reservoir and subsequently producing no ice. I wish I would have purchased a protecting plan now. Other than that, the ice it does produce is as advertised and the machine is fairly easy to use and clean.

    The side tank separates from the main part of the ice maker. It's too loud & not worth the money.

    Love the ice, the problem is the side tank can be connected and it says add water, when you add water, it then goes in to defrost mode so it never runs "nonstop". I dont use the side tank because it can be full and tells me to "add water". Every time it says add water (although it's full) it goes in to defrost mode. I have followed the manuals, contacted GE cleaned the unit, drained the unit and still no luck. Returning today.
