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.

    Easy setup. Sanitize once a week. Clean once a month. Always have crush like ice. Always. Yes, it's worth it.

    GE Profile - Opal 2.0 Ice Maker - Massive Failure

    The GE Profile - Opal 2.0 Portable Ice Maker turned out to be a huge fail for reliability. Product made ice efficiently and consistently. However, cleaning the ice maker per the instructions and on a regular schedule every two weeks made no difference! The GE Profile - Opal 2.0 Portable Ice Maker died and would no longer make ice a few days after the 1 year warranty expired! GE Profile has been hailed as a more reliable product line and worth the money. After the experience with the GE Profile Opal 2.0 Ice Maker at $500 and a GE Profile refrigerator at over $4,300 where the ice maker failed just over a year after purchase I would have to disagree. These products are no longer reliable, and I would not recommend GE Profile products to anyone!

    I love this icemaker. We are a family of 6 and it can keep up with enough ice all day for us. It's the perfect size ice and is really fast at making ice when it gets low

    Have had the ice maker for a few weeks now and it is working like a charm. I have a First Build design that was used when I got it. It never quite worked right, and was kind of loud. This 2.0 model is great. Always have a good supply of the pellet ice. Totally satisfied

    The ice is fantastic when the machine is finally working. I had to return my 1st one because the extra water tank wouldn't refill. I returned the ice machine and Best Buy gave me a different one without the tank. This one works better but I refill it which can be a pain. I was told they are moving away from the refill tank. Not sure if this is actually accurate info. We do love the ice ... my advice is to purchase the warranty and keep replacing as needed. It's kind of a hassle.

    Love this machine! My wife and kids are addicted to crushed ice and use it all the time. Would highly recommend using distilled water, prevents break downs. We have used ours constantly for the last 16 months without a hitch.

    Knocked up my wife and she’s having a hard time with food and drinks. So we got this so she could get some fluids down. She Loves it! Ice is ready in 20min whatever you don’t use melts back into the reservoir and is made back into ice. Even the kids are enjoying it

    Ok So I returned this item. It was bough as a gift. The ice was good and it does last a while compared to traditional ice but the amount of money for the ice maker which doesn't even keep the ice cold cannot do it. Gave it 5 stars cause it works as intended just not for me.

    Really like the mini cube ice. Being in hawaii we really miss Sonics as their ice is the best and this ice maker machine remind me of it. The crunch of the ice is satifying
