Horrible Product!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this Jan. 7, 2023 and It is HORRIBLE!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!! Not only does it make terrible sounds, I have to clean it every week even before the cleaning light is on. I have only used distilled water and it still is high upkeep. Very pricey when you pay 1.40 per gallon of water. I have kept it clean and done everything right and it has mildew that is along back side and in water reservoir only. Not in tubes and not is side tank. Just the part after it goes through the machine. Do yourself a favor and purchase a self cleaning ice maker.

PAPERWEIGHT
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had the GE Opal 2.0 ice maker for less than 6 months, and it has completely stopped working. I followed all the recommended troubleshooting steps — cleaning, resetting, unplugging, you name it. Nothing worked. The worst part? GE customer service has been completely unhelpful. They clearly know this is a common issue but refuse to offer a replacement or real solution. For something this expensive, you'd expect some accountability. Instead, I’m stuck with an overpriced machine that makes zero ice and a support team that won’t support. Extremely disappointed. Don’t waste your time or money.

Great Opal replacement
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just replaced an original Opal version of this that had failed and couldn't be happier. This unit is fast, quiet and doesn't put out the same amount of heat the old one did. The only complaint I have is that the side tank doesn't hold a full gallon like the old version did. More like 2/3 of a gallon when fully empty. Not sure why the change since most people fill from a gallon container. Other than that, it works amazing!
