Great for Ice…But Loud and Painful
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a great concept! But it’s a terrible product! We purchased it and purchased the 2 year Geek Squad warranty just to have it malfunction and stop working 8 months later. We received a replacement and now the replacement has also malfunctioned; however, the replacement’s malfunction still technically is working it just makes a REALLY LOUD Screaming-Stretching noise that is heard day and night throughout our 4-story home. It’s as painful as hearing nails scratching a chalkboard. It is Terrible! I would not recommend!

Opal 2.0 Ice Maker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Highly recommend. Love the style of ice and makes it continuously throughout the day.
I would recommend this to a friend Nice Addition to Kitchen - So Far, So Good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great addition to the kitchen. Make sure that the hoses are properly set up / aligned per the instructions. I've had it about a month and a half and have had no problems so far. I'd suggest emptying it out if you run it for more than a few days in a row - the constant melting / ice making can give it an off taste after a couple of days. Otherwise - so far so good.

Great machine for a short time
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I LOVE this machine when it works. I have purchased 3 of them in the last 4 years. About 14 months is all you are going to get out of it (just outside of the warranty). I clean it with vinegar once a month and use nothing but bottled water in it but it still doesn’t last longer than 14 months. Sadly, I am going to try a different brand on the next purchase.
