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.

    I’ve had my eyes on one of these for a while and finally pulled the trigger. I’m not going to lie I’m glad I did. The ice is great and always ready when I want it. The price was a factor in me finally making the purchase which is why I only gave 4 stars but if you manage to find the right deal, I say don’t hesitate.

    This is my second brand of ice maker and I like this one best. It is very fast and doesn’t require daily replenishment of water. I also got the extra side tank and that helps too. Love the ice from this maker.

    For what it is, it does a great job. The ice falls fast. Measure the distance between your counter and cabinets. We were about 1/8" too short to put it on our counter which was a bummer. I would be surprised if cheaper versions weren't just as good though.

    I bought this item as a gift for my husband and he loves it. Ill be honest, I didn’t much care for buying this thing do to the price tag, I definitely use it more than i thought i would but I can’t say its truly worth its price. Its much smaller than i thought it would be, i tried saving a few dollars by buying the one without the side tank but i feel like i spend all day pouring water in the the small tank thats built in. If you’re anything like my husband who HAS to have ice in ALL of his drinks i would suggest to buy the side tank one.

    Love my new ice maker. I use this ice instead of my ice from the refrigerator ice maker. The only negative so far which has nothing to do with the actual machine is the way it was packaged when it was sent, there’s a dent in the front. You could tell the box was thrown around. There was no reinforced packaging when it was sent.

    Great machine. We had the first version which was bigger, heavier, and not as efficient at producing ice. This one is a massive improvement.

    My favorite ice. Good improvements from last model. More room for water reservoir and the ice doesn't semm to melt as quickly. The wifi controls aren't the best

    I liked the design it looks very nice and matches my appliances. The bad thing is that you must take out the whole drawer to be able to refill the water. And you need a pitcher to be able to easily fill the water. The ice is soft to bite and crunchy .
