Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this. I am on dialysis and was spending so much money buying bags of nugget ice from Sonic. This is really good to have in the house and has paid for itself already less than a year later. I just wish it came with filters but we put filtered water in it. And you have to be sure to clean it weekly but no more than every other week because mold will build up.

I had been wanting an Opal since they first came out, but I knew the first generation had some issues, so I waited. This 2.0 version is great, and having the extra water tank makes refilling it so much easier. Less noisy than my old ice maker, programmable on/off times, no drips, what else could I want? The whole family has now converted to using nugget ice, although I bought this just for me.

Unit worked flawlessly right out of the box. Easy to set up and just fill the side container with water. Makes perfect very small cubes of ice. ICE cools off drinks quickly and if you like too its very easy to eat the cubes. The only downside is its expensive but I figured within a year we would have recovered cost from buying bags of ice from the store.

This product is amazing. I love having the extra water container as it last a long time. I have it set up with my Wi-Fi to start making ice at 2pm so it’s full when I get home from work and set to turn off at 9pm. The ice is the perfect size.

I love my nugget ice maker. I like its design and It is small enough to fit on my counter. Unfortunately, it requires weekly sanitization and cleaning every 2-3 weeks and has a filter that needs to be changed periodically.

Wanted a nugget ice machine; works good as it should!

My wife loves this. It makes "chick-fil-a" ice. The nuggets are chewable and great to add to drinks. The model with the extra water tank is a must or you will be filling it up constantly. I know people that have the older model without the side tank and the are not as happy.

Fantastic ice machine. A little squeaky at times and I can not get the Bluetooth working. I added the water-filter and it stopped working. Removed it and it started working again. Overall I like it but it is very expensive. Makes ice quickly and keeps up with my ice needy family.

The GE opal ice maker is awesome within minutes you have a cup of ice. Family loves the little nuggets it makes. Its nice and compact to sit on countertop we love it!

Has to be the best ice machine ever!! Right out of the box it was easy to set up and make ice

This has got to be my absolute favorite ice maker ever! I've gone through many ice makers and just couldn't get what I wanted. It was either too slow or kept running out of water or way too big and hard to refill. This on the other hand the water is easy to refill the one at best buy comes with the side tank which is great! The tank comes out easy, has a twist cap with pressure release for when putting back on. The maker has an optional opal water filter that goes directly in the tank itself so easy to get to. And now for the best part, it makes the good ice like what you can get at Sonics or certain gas stations. My wife and parents loves it. It rarely stays full cause it gets used so much and refills pretty fast I rarely see it empty. I highly recommend this.

Easy to use. LOVE the ice it makes. Noise is not that bothersome.

My family loves the ice that comes out of this machine. The ice stays frozen and doesn't melt. So far no issues, and it is very easy to operate and well designed. This machine was so expensive though I got the 4 year extended warranty just in case there is a problem in the future.

I love this ice maker. It works well and keeps up with a 6 person house. Love the pebble ice.

My wife loves crushed ice but our refrigerator only makes cubes. I’ve only had this for a couple of weeks but it works great and makes ice really quickly. This unit comes with the side tank which typically lasts 3 or 4 days before a refill is required.

I love this ice maker! The quality of the ice itself is amazing! I would rate it a 5 star, but sometimes the ice doesn't make when you refill, and it's kind of a pain cleaning out the tubes (they can get moldy if ice isn't circulating).

Just amazing!! Worth the price!! The ice chips are soft and just perfect to nibble on. The ice maker reminds you when it needs to be cleaned, which makes it super easy for busy people. The cleaning is super easy. Highly recommend!!

Great little ice maker. If you are looking for a nugget ice maker, this is a fantastic little machine. Need the side tank to keep ice bucket full. If you stay on the cleaning and use filtered water the machine works perfectly.

Now this thing isn’t small, or a necessity, and quite expensive. But for a splurge I’m so glad I bought it. Makes the best ice you’ll ever have. Just like Sonic. A little high maint as it needs cleaned about once a week, we use our reverse osmosis water in it, I wouldn’t use straight tap water as the minerals will really dirty it up.

if you love to chew ice..love ice in your drinks or smoothies then this is an amazing ice machine..my husband didnt understand the difference in ice especially when he saw the price tag on this..but he uses this as much if not more then me. refills so quick..so easy to use..we LOVE this machine and dont ever use our crushed ice maker in our fridge anymore.
