I love it, I love it, I love it!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been thru about 5 different ice makers, and the GE Profile Opal, is the best I've ever had. I can completely empty the ice bucket and it'll completely fill it back up in about 2 hours. The capacity of this machine is such that I don't believe that I'll ever be without ice. I like that I can see the level of the refill tank, at a glance, to assure that it doesn't run low.

The best counter top ice maker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great machine. Easy to use and install. I used another counter top ice maker, and it would struggle to make ice. The Opal is amazing and well worth the premium price. Even though it has no refrigeration, I still have ice in the container 12 hours after I turn it off. You won’t regret the purchase.

Ice Ice Ice
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had 2 other countertop ice makers that have since passed. both made very solid ice in different ways. love this thing. starts spitting ice out very quickly and makes the great nugget ice. the outboard reservoir is handy, others are just what they can hold internally and they need filling often. great countertop maker

Sonic ice at home!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wife has wanted one of these for 2 years, but I couldn’t justify $609 for ice. However she finally wore me down. It’s a bit noise, but works great! Only thing I would like to see changed for future versions is a refrigerated bin.

cool till it wasn’t
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was cool till it started being annoying and loud asf when making ice. it made loud screeching noises and sometimes would not make ice and would act like it didn’t have no water smh. also using regular sink water would leave the machine minerallyish and so it was a pain to clean. so if i were to rebuy, try and use purified water and maybe it won’t act up. otherwise love the ice. buy the warranty- trust

Ice is good, sound is so so awful
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Presently, I am dealing with a high pitched squeal that drives me crazy. At other times, it makes a extremely loud flatulent noise that had me yelling at my kid it was so gross. It was just so authentic sounding lol. It does this a lot. The ice itself is great, but this noise is just driving me crazy. Probably returning it within the next few days (when my return option expires).

Posted .Hello- We are sorry to hear you are having this issue with your Opal. We can understand your frustration and apologize for your inconvenience. The Opal Ice Maker is a complex device that combines electrical and mechanical components such as a compressor, pump, motors and fans to deliver perfect nugget ice. These components power on at different times during the ice making cycle. There will be some noise associated with the running of these components. These normal noises typically cease after 10 to 45 minutes within the ice making cycle. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls and countertops can amplify these sounds. A gurgle type sound can be heard when the refrigerant system shuts off, there may be a brief gurgle as the refrigerant stops flowing. When the unit first starts up, the gear motor can make a chugging noise. This noise should be considerably reduced after 15 to 20 minutes, once the Opal starts making ice. 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

Refreshing
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We use the heck out of this. Probably put 1.5 gallons of water through it per day. Yes, it does make a little noise. We tucked it next to refrigerator so it's not out in the open. Love the ice. My wife will never be without one now. My only complaint is how often I have to refill it.

It makes the good ice
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven't had it for long but so far it's been great. The ice is closer to commercial nugget ice than I was expecting. It's a bit larger but very uniform and has a great texture. Ice is made consistently and stays frozen. We love it. All of the people who made fun of me for spending this much on a ice machine are coming around.
