    What is there not to love about this ice maker? Nugget ice is by far the best ice (hands down) and this ice maker does not disappoint! I have a medium-sized family and it was able to keep up with our ice needs consistently. Of course, not everyone was making drinks at the exact same time, but seeing as the production time was fast and it could hold up to three pounds of ice, we never had any issues. The ice itself is great! Perfect consistency for chewing; It didn't hurt my teeth or make my jaw sore. The build quality is great, and the footprint isn't bad. I had no problem placing it on my countertop. The side tank is absolutely necessary purely for convenience and ease of use. I spend less time filling it back up and more time enjoying my ice! I definitely recommend thoroughly cleaning the ice maker before using it the first time. Additionally don't forget to clean it regularly. I prefer to fill my Opal with distilled water so that I won't have to clean it as often. Overall, I'd say if you're looking for a nugget ice maker, this is a great option!

    Nice ice maker. Makes small pellets that cool a drink quickly. Be aware that the item and box it was shipped in weighs about 40 bs.

    The ice made ,small cubes, is not "hard" frozen, as soon as it is dr opped in water it melts. The noice is lauder than expected. In the summer heat probably will be enough for a couple.

    Personally I think it could be better. It keeps making this whining noise and I use the entire thing of ice in one go. Do better
