Only reason for 4 stars is ice maker arrived dented. Packaging came apart during shipping. Decided to keep it anyway since I had waited for it to be instock since Christmas and I decided to keep it and not send back.

WORTH EVERY DOLLAR!!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the first edition Opal machine and it recently quit working so we ordered the GE version. So far I am very impressed and like it more than the previous edition. I am an ice snob and this machine TOTALLY satisfies my snobbiness! My friends love coming over to the house bc they know they get to have "sonic" ice! I know it is pricey but it is WORTH EVERY PENNY

Definitly the ONE!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its perfect! Great Ice! did a lot of research best deal and price for your money had it since September 2020 not one problem i did had to add a water filter because regular water clogged up the machine. Now the ice is clearer and tastes much better. Can’t survive without it especially in the summer. Thanks GE!

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.

Sheer perfection!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is everything we hoped it would be! While it’s a luxury item, we are saving money on canned and bottled beverages like never before. The ice is sheer perfection. Unit is quiet. There’s nothing we don’t love about this machine!

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.

Works great in RV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We use this in our RV. Don’t want ice from the water in our holding tanks. We use Zephyrhills bottled water. Nice to have fresh clean ice anytime we want. Machine draws too much current to run on battery power. But ice lasts hours without power. Just crank the generator for an hour or so to regenerate ice again. Love it!

GE Ice Make Review
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this because our ice maker on our fridge went out. We decided to purchase a new fridge instead. Even though we purchased a new fridge with an ice maker. But we still use this ice maker more than the one on the fridge. We love this ice maker. This is an excellent ice maker for those that entertain a lot.

Great machine!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had the original and it is still working every day for 2 years without any problems. If you use distilled water you will never have any mineral buildup or cleaning issues. I don't know why distilled water isn't a requirement. This new 2.0 version is really the 3rd generation and we love it! These aren't cheap but worth it. Once again....use distilled water!

Posted .Hi there - Thanks for sharing your experience. Noises coming from your ice maker can definitely be concerning. We recommend that you review page 14 of the owner's manual to see which noises are normal and expected from your unit. If you still feel the sounds is abnormal, please take a look at page 20 for the next possible step. Thanks for choosing GE Appliances, and have a wonderful day. - Don@GEA

The little ice machine that could.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.OMG love love this ice machine. We use it several times a day. I am so happy that we finally splurged and did it for us. If you have room in your kitchen it is so convenient. I would even build a small stand for it if i needed to. Thats how much I love it.

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.

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

Good till its not
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.3 stars because when it works and isn’t making horrible dying cat noises its absolutely incredible and looks good. We’ve had 3 of these and each on started failing within 6 months. Wanted so badly for it to work out but ultimately ended up getting our money back on it. The motor starts to make really loud screeching noises and it will continue to do so until unplugged, which then obviously defeats the purpose.
