Works well, intuitive
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Actually works really well. Pricey but my wife and her whole family love it. It may kind of save you money because I’m my case, she no longer needs to buy a bunch of junk inside a gas station while she’s in there for “the good ice”.
I would recommend this to a friendMy Ice Machine Review!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this ice maker for my place of employment . The ice maker was purchased for my company’s Executive Management Floor and as far as I know I haven’t heard any complaints. So it looks like I made a wise purchase.

Review
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really like it. The only thing is when I hooked up the side tank, it vibrates against the ice maker so, I finally took it off. Other than that. I love it.

Buyer Beware Rusted Out After 18 Months Leaked
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buyer beware we purchased this 18 months ago and it leaked all over our wood floors from the bottom screws. It rusted out which makes no sense they take short cuts in something that make ice and for food safety and quality. We called them and they said no support or warranty. That’s cool because I will never buy another GE product again. We should have listed to the other bad reviews on this product. Best Buy should not support a company that doesn’t stand behind their products. This is a poor reflect on of your purchasing department to allow this defective product to be sold. There is plenty of issues out there to take action.

A Costly Mistake: When Premium Turns to Junk
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought the Opal Pebble ice maker thinking I was investing in the best on the market. Sadly, just a couple of years in and it's kaput. It's stuck in an endless defrost cycle and, despite my best efforts with online solutions, it just won't cooperate. Extremely disappointed and frustrated. To top it off, the manufacturer offers zero help since it's just outside the one-year warranty. Essentially, I've got a pricey piece of junk on my hands. My advice? Go for a cheaper option. That way, if it gives up on you after a few years, it won't sting as much when you toss it. I wouldn't recommend this product.

Tasty ice
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really good ice making machine. I always find myself chewing on most of it.
I would recommend this to a friendIce wet and not cold enough
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ice was not cold enough and was wet. If we put the extra ice into our regular freezer to save it would freeze into a large block that we would later have to break apart. Returned. Not worth the price tag.
