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.

    Functions great! Very easy to refill the water tank. The water tank base is magnetic and can switch from the left side to the right side if needed. Very well build, but is very heavy - which means its well made. Not the easiest thing to move, but once its set up you don't need it to.

    The ice maker works great and fast. We do have to check at least 2 times per day to make sure there is still water in the pitcher part. Very easy to assemble and does not take up a lot of space.

    The ice is great but I’m actually switching to a different machine. This one can be very loud and it’s only been a month and I already have to try and fix “add water” alert when it is fuml

    Have a Frigidgaire nugget ice maker and this one is so much quieter than the Frigidaire. That is worth the increase in price there since I use this at work. Makes ice quickly, and make a full batch in an hour or so. So far this is a much better machine. The Frigidaire also leaked. This one does not leak.

    I got this ice maker as a gift for Christmas and it has been a great product so far. It has incredible ice recovery speeds and only took 5 minutes for it to start spitting out ice. I would highly recommend this product there isn’t another machine quite like this one.

    Got this ice maker on sale. Replaced my 4 year old GE Opal nugget ice maker. So far so good even though it’s an older model. We will see how long it performs.

    Makes ice consistently without issues. I wish it had a ice scoop holder but thats not a big problem. Having the extra water tank is a plus, especially in the summer

    This ice machine is incredible. I love the side tank which allows you to put water in without having to take the ice basket out. We love using it a little too much, as I am constantly filling it back up. I highly recommend this machine.
