Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this for work & I have been so happy with it! The entire staff comes over to get “the good ice.”Super easy to set up, clean & fill, plus tank makes it very easy to track when to refill. I’d definitely buy again & recommend to anyone looking for “the good ice”.

We got this to use in a bar area in a family room. Perhaps we had too high of expectation on the thirty minutes to ice claim. It took 35 minutes to make the first nugget and about three hours to make enough ice for one drink. You must periodically open the lid to get it to make more ice, but it does keep the ice it has made frozen for quite a while. For our use of 2-3 glasses of ice a day it’s doing the job. It probably would be fine for 5-6 glasses of ice a day. We haven’t had any company lately, but we don’t have confidence that it would keep up with you if you had company over for a party. You’d definitely want to have the side tank filled after making sure it made ice to fill itself so it could keep making ice. At one point the tube to the side water tank was dripping ever so slowly but we pushed it further on and that seems to have stopped. Wish the side tank had just a simple lid on top and that we could fill it that way. You get water spillage when you take it off and put it back on since it’s an upside-down configuration. It’s not very noisy but it is noticeable when it’s running. We think it sounds like a very quiet dishwasher or refrigerator hum. It’s a little larger than we expected but we don’t have anything to compare it to – it’s our first stand-alone ice maker.

This little GE Profile-Opal 1.0 Nugget Ice Maker is everyone's dream if you like nugget ice in your home. We can fill our thermoses every morning and the ice lasts long into the afternoon, with some of it never melting if your cup or thermos is insulated. We thought it was too expensive when we saw the price, but we wouldn't change a thing now! It stays much colder than regular ice cubes. :)

A little big for the counter top but it makes lots of ice.

Bought this in July and have used it almost everyday since. It is always plugged in and on. Easy to set up. Love the size of the ice.

I love my GE Opal 1.0 Nugget Ice Maker! The ice is perfect — soft, chewable, and makes every drink taste better. It produces ice quickly and keeps up well with daily use. The only downside is the cleaning process. The cleaning cycle doesn’t really seem to do much, and it still requires a lot of manual scrubbing to keep it fresh. Overall though, the ice quality makes it worth it, I just wish the cleaning was easier.

Excellent ice maker. Produces just what I want in my countertop ice machine. Very quiet. Easy to fill. Easy maintenance schedule and procedures.

We bought this ice maker and love it. We have 5 people getting ice everyday and we have never had to wait for ice, ever!! It’s easy to work and fill up with water and we have had no problems with anything.

Excellent nugget ice maker. Loved ours but after 2 years started making growling sound. Good news is the 4 year Geek Squad warranty was worth every dollar as it was replaced with kind on the spot. Thats customer service! FYI, imo much better engineering than the other version of Opal.

THIS ICE MACHINE IS SO QUIET AND PRODUCES AND HOLDS A GOOD QUANTITY OF ICE. IT'S ON THE LARGER SIZE AND DOES NOT FIT ON OUR COUNTER BUT LUCKILY, WE HAD ANOTHER SPOT TO PUT IT.

This ice maker is awesome. It works perfectly and makes ice fast. The only issue that it is pretty noisy.

I love my machine. Been needing to purchase one after my last one had issues. But really at the time didn't want to spend the money. I had a Theryne ice machine that had metal pieces broken off in the ice and leaking everywhere. Company replace it with the same machine. Six months later it did it again. And the company wouldn't honor the warranty anymore. So I did without until I couldn't stand doing without my ice. So I bit the bullet and got the new machine. So far no issues. Best Buy said if I had any issues bring it back because I am a total tech member and have been for years. That is why I love Best Buy and purchased all my stuff from them.

After much scrutiny, I decided on this maker. Glad I did. This replaced a small ice maker that I purchased from Best Buy, that didn't last a year. This makes lots of nice sized ice, like Sonics ice, and keeps the bin full. I have the exterior tank hooked up so I always have ice and only have to refill the water every few days. It was fairly easy to set up the outer tank after you figure out the directions for the hose. It has the cleaning button, and it cleans itself. However,it doesn't hurt to take it apart and give it a good cleaning every now and the, depending on your water. I use purified water out of my Brita to make ice since it doesn't have a filter that I'm aware of. Overall, well worth what it cost.

Love it. Keeps up with my house hold. I like that it came with the stand alone tank. Keeps you from fill every day. May get another to put in my camper.

My wife uses the refrigerator ice maker only for smoothies! Great Buy. Easy to clean. Use distilled water to minimize problems. Lemonade, sweet tea, Arnold Palmer …

My wife no longer has to go to the gas stations to get her "pebble" ice as she calls it. This machine is amazing. I recommend using distilled water only. And also.... If you use distilled remove that awful filter. That filter was restricting the water flow. If it's distalled you will be fine. The ice machine does make noise but nothing that is overpowering. We have it on a rolling cart and off to the side since it's on the large side. You will not be disappointed.

Been a great unit so far... little heavy and bulky but its not as loud as the Insignia one we had and makes ice faster

Great ice maker love it. Just do not like the scoop storage holder. But still no big deal. I would buy again.

Works good and makes ice very quickly. The only reason I don't give 5* is because when it's making ice it's very noisy. Once it finishes it's silent.

Great product. Makes ice pellets quickly and they taste great! Use filtered water and you’ll never have a problem!
