    I always wanted this icemaker because I love the small ice nuggets that you get at certain restaurants so why not have one at my home. It’s easy to set up and easy to clean upon using

    I’ve had the GE Opal 2.0 ice maker for less than 6 months, and it has completely stopped working. I followed all the recommended troubleshooting steps — cleaning, resetting, unplugging, you name it. Nothing worked. The worst part? GE customer service has been completely unhelpful. They clearly know this is a common issue but refuse to offer a replacement or real solution. For something this expensive, you'd expect some accountability. Instead, I’m stuck with an overpriced machine that makes zero ice and a support team that won’t support. Extremely disappointed. Don’t waste your time or money.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This ice machine is amazing!! It’s literally the best I’ve ever. My husband thought I was ridiculous for buying such an expensive machine just to make ice, but he’s hooked now too. It’s definitely worth the price.
