Customers are positive about the Opal 1.0 Nugget Ice Maker's ice quality, ease of use, and convenient water tank. Many appreciate its performance and sleek design, while some find the cleaning process straightforward. However, customers are negative about the ice maker's noise level and relatively large size; the price point was also a source of some negative feedback.

    This product is making really good ice and is efficient, my only complaint is that it is a little loud, but only when making the ice. Other than that I really like it and my family does as well.

    Make sure you order a new UNIT- not a used one.

    Our experience was probably more isolated than most. When I ordered this via online to ship to us- I think it came as a refurbished/used item. It was not in it's original packaging, loose in the box with barely any inside support to protect from shipping... it leaked from somewhere in the underside, and the clip that holds the water tubes in place was broken on one side. We were able to return this item to our local Best Buy hassle free and personally selected a replacement with their assistance. The replacement is far better than this one. Same brand- different model. We have owned this exact unit before which lasted about a year and a half. The one we just received that we are leaving a review on, was not functional. Had it not been in used condition, we may have left higher ratings. It was not Best Buy's fault.

    I have had this ice maker for i think a month now and im happy with it. We have a very small counter top so we have it else where. Its not very loud and makes plenty of ice. I didnt leave the side tank hooked up because it makes it pretty quick. The ice is very easy to eat after a couple minutes in a drink or in a cup. My coffee game has been forever changed.

    Our other machine stopped working so I ordered this one for my husband. So happy with it so far, love the extra water tank cause we use a lot of ice. It's a little pricey but so far definitely worth it. Has a bigger area to hold ice as well ...

    I purchased this for my biyfriend for Christmas. Hel oves Sonic Ice and would drive 30 minutes way to the nearest store at least twice a week to get bags of their ice. We have substituted that drive with this machine. He says the ice is a nice blend of Sonic & Chic Fila ice but better. It makes plenty of ice within two hours enough to fill up containers to last for a few days nefore a new batch is needed. He loves his new toy!

    This has been a great machine. Quiet, produces a good amount of ice, and still functioning without issues a year later. Definitely worth the cost.
