I have had my ice maker for a month now. I bought it to replace a broken ice maker from another company. I love this ice maker, it is quiet, keeps the ice cold as long as the ice maker stays on. I don’t have the extra water tank and I fill the reservoir about every other day. My household uses this machine 24/7 and we love it. It is easy to clean and maintain. I do not regret buying this machine even though the cost was a little more than I wanted to spend.

I have given this to my wife for Christmas, six days ago. We have produced ice nuggets everyday since. Like any refrigeration unit, it hums, but my wife has been addicted to nugget ice since her pregnancy with my son almost sixteen years ago. The machine is sleek and clean. The refill is under the drawer, so you do have to pull the entire ice drawer out to refill, but it's not difficult. The upgraded version is $100 extra if you want the extra refill unit that sits on the side of the unit. Since we use it for our family of four, what we got is more than enough for us. So far so good. If anything goes awry, I will be sure to post. But, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

This machine is GREAT, I love it and don’t regret buying it- even though it was super expensive. However, buy the extended warranty!!! GE won’t help you beyond the one year mark and if you use it everyday it will break. Best Buy replaced my old machine when it rusted two years in, no issue.

This is fabulous! It is easy to set up, easy to clean, easy to operate, and not that noisy. The ice is wonderful.
I bought the water tank to go with it and definitely recommend doing the same.

I’ve been eyeing this ice maker for months and finally bought it a few weeks ago. I love it. The noise mentioned in some reviews doesn’t bother me at all and I have Sonic ice all the time.

Obviously this item is not cheap but if you don't mind spending the money, it's worth it. The setup process is straight forward for flushing out the internals. From there, fill the internal tank with roughly 75oz of water and let the machine work. You'll have ice to crunch on in under 10 minutes.
The main reason I purchased this was for my 18m old daughter. She really enjoys chewing on ice while teething and our refrigerator only has cubes which makes that tough. My wife has always been a fan of this style ice so that helped our decision as well. We call it "The Good Ice". If you've ever had this style of ice, you know what I mean.

My wife used to spend up to $10 a day buying sonic drinks just for the nugget ice - now - she has it at home. We did purchase the additional tank - and I honestly can't imagine using it without - it definitely keeps the ice making constantly. I thought this was a little pricey - but in all actuality - it will pay for itself within 2 months.

I always try to leave a positive review. The Opal 2.0 makes absolutely the best ice for ice eating and drinks. However it also has a history of being noisy and has quit working all together after 4 months. Customer support is not the greatest, called after a month to find out if the noise was normal and all they said was do a clean cycle.

This is probably the best appliance purchase I have made in years. It runs nonstop, gives us ice cubes that are the perfect size for so many drinks, we supply filtered water so don’t have filters to change and requires very minimal maintenance.

This makes great ice that everyone loves. Similiar to sonic ice. My first one the light burntbout eithin a year and the whole unit was replaced. The one issue i have is that it needs cleaned regularly and the cleaning process is cumbersome.

Awesome machine, wife mentioned she wanted one so i surprised her for her birthday. She loved it so much i often find it in our bedroom when i get home from work. My wife must have also picked up smoking because theres also always cigarette buts by the night stand and hot oils. Slowly shes been locking me out of the room which is ok, i respect her privacy and she must just really love that ice machine. Thanks again.

We love our portable ice maker. It keeps us from having to run to a gas station when we want a nice cold drink. It keeps us in ice when we are entertaining at our home. We would highly recommended it to others.
