Good ice. Finicky machine.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I reallly love this ice. I really hate that the machine gives me trouble. First model grew mold. This model doesn’t maintain water suction to make ice.

So freaking loud

Just barely lived out the warranty.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wouldn't let me give 0 stars. Loved this machine for one year and two weeks. Thats how long it lived. Neither Best Buy or Ge would assist me at that time or give me a discount on a new one. If you buy one get an extended warranty. Love the ice , hate the lack of customer service.

Trash Product, Buyers Beware!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product lasted one and a half years despite following all maintenance requirements. Ice maker squeals loudly and makes no ice. GE Support will "fix" for $250, or scrap and give you back $125 if unable to repair. Seems like they can always say they couldnt fix and sell as a refurbished item to make more money on suckered customers. Truly worse purchase of my life, and GE has no pride in their brand on top of the worse customer service I've ever seen. Buyers beware with this piece of junk.

Loud Screech
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was super excited about this purchase. Got it home set it up. Two days later it starts making this horrible screeching noise. I contacted opal support they shipped out a brand new one….. 2 days later the new one has the same exact screeching noise. I am beyond frustrated and upset with the product

Posted .Hello- We are sorry to hear you are having this issue with your Opal. This is not what we expect and are sorry for your inconvenience. We have some information on our website that may help. Here are some tips that should also help. If the water well is filled to the upper fill line and no ice is being produced, please perform this simple test: 1. Please start the Opal and switch to cleaning mode. Don't forget to detach the side tank. 2. Remove the screen/filter at the bottom corner of the reservoir, exposing the small white rubber inlet used for water circulation. 3. Make certain that the Opal is not connected to the phone app and that the water well is filled to the upper fill line with distilled water. 4. Remove the ice bin and press the button to see if the Opal pumps water. This could take up to 5 minutes to start. 5. Plug the small inlet with your finger for 10-15 seconds to create a vacuum within the pump/circulation system. 6. Release the plug and wait a minute or until you see water movement. 7. If you do not see a change, you may want to repeat these steps a couple of times. Note: If you see water movement, please switch to ice mode and run for 30 minutes. **You may also need to prime your pump so try using a Turkey Baster/Injector and gently fill the hose that doesn't go to the side tank with water, and then restart the machine. If you continue to have issues, please reach out to OnPoint directly by calling 1-866-907-6718, M-F 8-8 EST. If you have any questions, please reach out to us via a private mess on Facebook. We are happy to help! Joyce@Profile

Nugget Icemaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome crunchy ice! Works fairly quickly to add more ice for get togethers. I’m not sure if it’s quite as soft and crunchy as Sonic, but it’s still very good. Pricey, but I’m happy with it.
