Best Ice Maker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best ice maker on the market. My kids love grabbing ice out of the machine to eat. Highly recommend as it’s great for drinks.
I would recommend this to a friend Great ice maker worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had this a year so far no issues and works great. We use it a lot so we go through the tank of water fast. Would be nice to have a direct water line option i could hook up so i dont have to fill thr tank so often.

Great Ice Machine
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this ice machine because we love nugget ice. Instead of making that drive to Sonic, we decided to have it whenever we wanted it. We love it. No connections are required. Just add water and wait a minute or so. Awesome design!

The good ice!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife loves “the good ice” so I got her this and she loves it. Definitely go with this model with the side tank because pulling out the ice drawer to add water would be a drag.

Does what is supposed to do.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Couple weeks of constant use, no issues. Pay attention to which hose to connect to the water tank. Great ice. One full hopper about every 45 min. Each hopper made 4-5 solo cups full of blended beverage.

Everyone who comes over wants to try and it’s amazing how it makes a new batch in 20 min! Buy the extra tank so you don’t have to refill as often.

GE OPAL banshee
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly. The ice is great but it randomly and regularly squeals like a banshee. Called GE support this morning and they told me to talk to Best Buy about their product. Needless to say I was shocked and will be calling Best Buy Monday probably just to be told to call GE about their product. …

I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Noise level
62db noise level is obnoxiously loud
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Most reviews skip over the electricity consumption. This device takes the same amount of power as a full size family fridge! I expected this to take less power than a mini fridge, but I was wrong. The power meter shows average 170w while it's making ice. (mini fridge is 60w)The meter shows between 23 - 27 cents a day it costs to run. For comparison my full size 26cuft fridge costs 24 -38 cents/day and it also makes ice. So this appliance is not energy efficient. If you noticed there is an option schedule to turn it off, that's because you have to turn it off to get any sleep. This is the loudest appliance we own, louder than the washing machine and dryer, but less than a vacuum cleaner. There are a few components that make noise, water pump (minor buzz hum ~ 38db), compressor (~50db, louder than any household fridge, enough for everyone to comment on it's noise level, but not obnoxious), Ice Salver (~62db the part that rotates and makes the ice, loud rattle hum). I have cleaned it with both bleach and their acid cleaner for lime build up, and only use double filtered city water. For comparison My fridge is ~38db, dishwasher ~36, microwave ~45, washer ~48. Vacuum ~97db

Great ice easy to use
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product, love this so much. My mom was constantly going out to get ice from sonic, and with all that was going on I didn’t want her to up her risk. Now she gets her ice nuggets at home and we know she isn’t putting herself at risk as much.
