Love it - but higher maintenance than me!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love this ice machine! The only reason for the 4 stars is that it requires more maintenance than I do! Clean me and descale me! But it does satisfy my craving for ice since I obviously lack iron!

Great while it lasted.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is loud and annoying. It is unbearable to have on in the kitchen. It started about a year of ownership. While it worked, it was great. Makes ice like it is supposed to. I can't use it because it is too loud. I have seen other reviews about this being loud and poorly built. For the price I would expect better.

Love this ice maker.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was replacing the original Opal ice machine. This is exactly like the opal but maybe a little prettier for the countertop. Works great but I gave 4 stars Because the price could be a bit lower, IMO

Ice ice baby
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Makes great ice and the sound the machine generates is not too bad. Only complaint is you cannot leave the ice in the container for a long period of time.

Posted .Hi there, and thanks for leaving your feedback. We’re very glad you’re happy with your Opal’s ice production and quiet operation! We do regret that you’re not happy that the ice bin isn’t refrigerated. The Opal is designed to recirculate meltwater back to the water reservoir to continue the ice making process. Your feedback regarding the ice bin will be shared with our team for future review. We’re confident the Opal will serve your ice needs well for years to come. Best wishes! -Sarah@GEA

Love my nugget ice

Best Ice Ever!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is just as advertised. I was afraid of going with one of the cheaper models and I so glad I chose this one. Only recommendation I have is get the one with the side tank. It sucks up the water fast!

Perfect ice maker!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect ice nuggets. After the initial cleaning, the nuggets start to pile after 15-20 mins as stated. Ice is nice and soft and easy to chew. Only putting bottled water in it help reduce any calcium build up.
