Opal 2.0: A Cool Solution with a Chilly T
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Opal 2.0, an innovative ice maker, promises to be a game-changer for your home or office. At first glance, it impresses with its sleek design and the convenience of nugget ice on demand. It churns out pristine ice cubes that are perfect for cocktails, chilled beverages, or simply munching on. Initially, the Opal 2.0 operates seamlessly, delivering ice at the touch of a button. Its ease of use and minimal maintenance are its primary selling points. However, a peculiar issue begins to emerge – the need for defrosting, even after diligent cleaning. The Opal 2.0's downfall becomes evident as ice production decreases due to frost buildup within the machine. Despite meticulous care, users find themselves frequently having to defrost the unit to maintain optimal performance. This unforeseen inconvenience tarnishes the otherwise stellar experience. In conclusion, while the Opal 2.0 is undoubtedly a convenient ice maker, its persistent defrosting requirement can be a chilly frustration. Prospective buyers should consider this aspect carefully before investing in this otherwise promising appliance.

Stand alone ice maker
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since my refrigerator with the ice maker has passed the point of no repair, the main refrig doesn’t make enough ice for the family. Never enough ice in my house, This one works great and have ice when I need it. It’ll eventually sit on my bar in my man cave after I replace the main refrigerator. I’d buy it again

Best little ice machine EVER!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best little ice machine EVER! Don’t let the price scare you. Even though it is pricey, it is well worth it! This thing makes ALOT of ice. Nice tiny nugget size ice. The kind you get a QT. It has a refillable water tank or you can connect the hose to your water line. So, what are you waiting for? Go get one!

'Sonic" Ice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This nugget ice maker is fantastic! It took a couple of days to get in the groove, but it makes great ice, lots of it, and is very quiet. I had a few questions about the instructions, and the company was very responsive to me to get them answered. I would recommend this machine to anyone!

The Good Ice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ice maker in our fridge went kaput. Instead of repairing that, we took this opportunity to invest in this nugget ice maker. It's fantastic. The ice is perfectly chewable and works great in water, iced coffee, and any other iced drink. This is definitely "the good ice".

Works Wonders!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our ice maker has consistently gone out in our newer model refrigerator, the Opal 2.0 has been a huge lifesaver. Don't let the size fool you, this thing produces some ice and has kept up with our gatherings at our home. It works great and the ice quality is great as well.

Solid countertop addition.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love it! Only hiccup was at initial start getting the air out of the pump. Beyond that, it has been great! We used it to prep ice for a party so maybe 25lbs or so with zero issues.

If you will sleep close to this machine don't buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the loudest kitchen appliance you will ever have. If wherever you are putting this in your house is close to your bed, don not buy it. It makes a loud circulating humming noise constantly and then you can hear the ice drop into the bin periodically. It will keep you awake at night. We purchased sound proofing, similar to what they use in music studios, to go in the area where we have our machine. It helps, but still really loud. We do like the ice it provides, but with the high price and the noise, we don't think it is worth it.

Great Ice maker!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best countertop ice maker. It makes tremendous tasting ice and it makes it pretty quickly. About a pound an hour and the size and softness of the ice is just like you would get at a restaurant or gas station with nugget ice. My wife is going to end up needing dentures soon going through the amount she chews :)

Love this ice machine
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love, love, love this ice machine! I use it more than any other appliance I own honestly. I constantly have a cup of ice to munch on. The ice is perfect crunchy yet soft. We keep it on 24/7 and haven't had any issues. You can also buy filters off Amazon to filter the water if you want, but you don't need to.

Worth every penny if you like "Sonic" ice.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product. Pretty pricey. Was a simple installation, manual was legible, and yhe ice is perfect. I purchased it for my late mother last year as a mothers day gift. It was one of her favorite gifts before she passed. She wouldve given it 5 stars, so ill do it for her.
