    Best ice maker ever! It was easy to set up but it does take up a lot of counter space. It makes the best soft ice pellets and if you use a certain kind of bottle water, the ice is even softer. An ice chewers dream.

    The marketing material calls it a “beverage enhancer”. It actually unironically is lol. Great ice, been a month or so and still reliable. 10/10

    One of the most used daily appliance I have at my house. I never thought I would use ice daily when I only had the icemaker in the fridge. The ice produced is very premium and soft. My family loves it.

    Had to returned the first one that was damaged, make sure to inspect the box and machine when you first get it. Cleaning can be a pain but it makes good ice!

    Great ice, easy setup, and like the wifi connectivity. Only downside is it is quite loud, luckily for us it is in our pantry so we can keep the door shut and not hear it.

    For what this thing costs, I am super disappointed. Biggest complaint is the noise. For the most part, the noise isn't bad. But occasionally as this thing cycles it sounds like it is someone dragging their fingernails across a chalk board......only much louder. I thought maybe the unit was defective. I exchanged it for the same model. Nope.... the second one does the same thing. It doesn't do it all of the time, but at least 3-4 times a day for several minutes at a time. Thought the Remote app would be nice, as you can set a timer when it runs. Problem is that since it is constantly recycling ice, you end up leaving it run 24-7 to make sure you have ice when you want it. So kind of a useless feature. Like the nugget ice, but there has to be better options out there. So far Best Buy has treated me right as far as returns and service.

      Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave a review on your Opal. We can understand how this would be frustrating to hear. A squeaking noise would be considered normal. This happens when ice builds up around the mechanisms of the unit and it needs to defrost. Good thing is, the defrost cycle is automatic and takes about 10 to 45 minutes. You can take a look at an article on our website titled OPAL ICE MAKER - NORMAL SOUNDS for more information. Hope this is helpful! All the best. -Michael@GEA GE_Appliances
