    Although I’ve only had it a month, this ice machine is so superior to any others that I have tried. It is so quiet and makes perfect ixe. I have discovered that using distilled water seems to make it run so much smoother so I’m hoping for less problems with the maintenance also.

    For a nugget ice machine, this is perfect! I wanted some way to get more fluids into myself and my kids, so i figured an ice machine would be perfect. I picked this one because, lets face it...no one truly loves the bullet ice. They just tolerate it. Let me tell you, I have not been disappointed yet. If anything, im disappointed in myself for not being able to get through the ice as quickly as it makes it. If I had one suggestion for anyone looking to purchase this machine, it would be to use distilled water. I buy it for $0.99/gal at the store and it makes it not only have better tasting ice, but its overall better for the machine.

    The ice is perfect nugget ice and the machine produces a lot. My only concern so far is that directions indicate it should be cleaned once a week. That is a lot of work for once a week!

    I liked the idea of a freestanding unit because ice-makers built in to refrigerators notoriously break down. When I saw this unit makes softer ice pellets like what you'd get at Sonic, I decided on this model. I'm well pleased and the money I'm saving on Sonic's "Ocean Water" will pay for this machine... in maybe ten years at this rate, ha. Don't judge the first pieces of ice that get made, they were kind of extra-hard and I got worried. A couple hours in I had some nice, more "fluffy" pieces. Mind you, the texture is not fluffy like shaved ice, but not rock solid either. This machine is giving the unanticipated bonus of helping me increase my water intake, so I'm happy all around.

    If you like the nugget ice this is the ice maker for you. Now it is a bit noisy that’s for sure. But if you can get past the noise I think you’ll be happy with the output of ice.

    This unit does make the best ice. It does have to be cleaned a lot, which is annoying at first, but once you get used to it, its not too bad. The cleaning is totally worth it to get that good crunchy ice. Everyone who visits absolutely loves the ice, and it keeps up with 10 people all having drinks at once. We have owned it for about 10 months, and all of the sudden I walk in and there is water EVERYWHERE. Found out it is leaking from inside the unit. Not sure whats going on, but I have notified GE of the issue and am waiting a response. I'll update once we see how well the 1 year warranty is handled.

      While we’re very glad you love your ice and have overall had a good experience, we hate to hear you’ve had an issue with leaking. We want to help. We do expect some condensation to form on the bottom surface of the ice bin, which may collect and drip down the lower front surface. But if the leak seems to be coming from elsewhere, you may want to reach out to our Opal Support team at 1-866-907-6718. Those specialists would be glad to help, and we’re confident they’ll be able to address your concern. GE_Appliances

    I LOVE OPAL! She is an amazing ice maker! when I brought her home and made her part of our family it was clear that she was the new favorite electronic child. She makes pellet ice, and does it without complaint hour after hour. I use a Zero water filter to fill her tank. Once you get one, your freezer ice maker will miss you. (I cant even tell you the last time I used the ice dispenser on my freezer.) Thank you GE for a great product. Thank you Bestbuy for putting it on sale in front of me and causing the impulse buy that brought this amazing product home for me and my family to enjoy!
