Customers are saying

Customers highly value the Opal 2.0 ice maker's excellent ice quality and ease of use. Many appreciate its compact size and sleek design, while some find the noise level and the need for frequent cleaning to be drawbacks. The water tank's design also received mixed reviews, with some users finding it inconvenient to refill. Although the WiFi functionality is a plus for some, concerns about reliability were also raised by several customers.

    Best purchase our home has ever made. So much so, we got one for my office to use as well. We recommend the side tank if have 4 or more in the home/office.

    One year, two weeks is all it lasted. My protection plan won’t cover it being replaced or repaired, Best Buy claims they have no obligation to fix or repair since they don’t have it registered. $550 was a lot to spend for a year’s worth of ice and zero customer service.

    We have only had this for a month and when it goes into the defrost mode which is several times a day it makes the loudest noises. It has happened through the night and woken us up. Also, sometimes the ice is just frost and not cubes. Wouldn’t recommend this. We waited a while to save up and buy it and are very disappointed with it.

    The ice is perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. My only complaint is that i purchased the side tank and it doesn't keep the water basin with enough water to make ice. It works perfectly well when i manually fill the reservoir on the machine itself.

      Hello- Thanks so much for your purchase! We are so glad you are enjoying your new Opal Nugget Ice Maker. The ice is perfect and so easy to have a quick and cool crunchy treat. Typically if you have the side tank installed and the water isn't flowing from the tank to the icemaker well, it could mean there is an air bubble in the line. Check the following: Check that the hoses are connected properly. Make sure the hoses are lying flat. Lift the tank from the icemaker and raise it 4-5 inches until water starts to flow; then place the tank back in position. We hope this helps! If you have any questions in the future, please let us know. We are always happy to help! Joyce@GEA GE_Appliances

    First one I received didn’t work, awful motor type noise that vibrated the ice holder out. Replacement worked great for about 4 days and now makes a screeching type noise occasionally as if it is freezing up. Not sure I would purchase again.
