Great rabbit pellet ice!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Best ice maker I've had so far
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First experienced this wonder at a friends house. They had the original Opal and it was a good product that produced ice fairly quickly. The next week our refrigerator stopped making ice so I decided to purchase the Opal 2.0 since it's black stainless steel matches all of our other appliances. We're now 7 months in and I could not be happier. In our household there are only two adults, but everything that isn't hot tea or coffee requires ice for us. We both drink more water than I think we should and this thing keeps up just fine. I will note that when you first get it, even after cleaning you might want to dump a few extra loads of ice as they tasted a little different. However after that, even with cleaning's the ice has been great...and even though they are smaller in size they last way longer than I expected.

||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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).

Excellent unit if you like crushed (nugget) ice
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great ice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great ice maker
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great ice maker if you like the same little cube it is an ice maker for you. But there no function to change to make different cubes. But it is a little pricey.

Awesome Ice!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

"Sonic's Ice" at what Price?
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own a HVAC company, and I understand how ice machines work, so this is great for me, but could be problematic for a normal person. It is loud, but its ok if you have a spacious kitchen. I feel that filling the tank could be a little easier, though I also have found the dispensing nozzle of the tank gets a build up, after only a few fill ups. I use RO water, bought from Krogers. The parts are easy enough to disassemble and clean, so I can't really complain there. Just don't buy this for grandma, I don't think she would like it as much as you would think.

Posted .Hi - We appreciate you sharing your experience with your Profile Opal ice maker. While we are thrilled to hear how pleased you are overall with your unit, we are sorry you feel the unit is loud. Normally, reverse osmosis treated water contains virtually little or no hard water minerals. Consequently, we're not clear why you're finding a build-up on the dispensing nozzle of the tank. Be sure to clean and descale the unit as described in the owner's manual, allow 3" minimum clearance on the sides and back of the unit. We also recommend cleaning the vents on the Opal using a hand vacuum or the attachments on your vacuum cleaner. If the sound level doesn't improve, we recommend contacting Opal Support at 1-866-907-6718 to discuss your options. We hope this proves to be helpful and wish you the very best! Vikki@GEAppliances

Fancy Ice
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this for a basement game room. It has become the primary ice supplier for the whole home. Easy to clean, just follow the instructions. Makes ice fast! Everybody calls it the Fancy Ice machine - it might even be responsible for keeping us a little extra hydrated. It is expensive, but it's been reliable and done everything it's claimed to do.

It is a great investment for nugget ice lovers. I still have to admit the price is very steep.

Great buy, but keep up maintenance
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ice this makes is worth the hype! Be sure to research cleaning the machine. At times, there is an algae that develops, signaling a deep cleaning is due.

Posted .We're pleased to hear that you are enjoying your ice maker! As you correctly mentioned, keeping the machine clean is important to ensure it works at its best. If you notice any black residue inside the Opal Ice Maker, this is due to mineral build-up in the machine. Descaling the machine will effectively clear this up.

Great ice but GE needs to get it together
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I struggled with choosing a rating because the ice is AMAZING. However the product itself leaves a lot to be desired. For the amount you pay for these, they should last longer. Luckily I paid for the extended warranty because I am now having issues with my FOURTH unit. Best Buy handles it flawlessly, but you really shouldn't have to do so much work to get these to function properly. GE needs to get it together or lower the price on these to make them disposable. Do NOT skip the Best Buy warranty!!!

Great ice machine
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Enjoying this so much we ordered another one (off a different site) for a different house. Unfortunately the second one ended up being an earlier model which doesn’t work as well. Definitely recommend the 2.0. It makes great ice and does it pretty fast. It’s a little pricey but worth it.

Great little ice maker!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this as an alternative to remodeling a cabinet to accommodate a larger ice maker and have been more than pleasantly surprised. This little machine is relatively quiet, no mess and makes enough of the best kind of ice that my family loves!! Fits perfectly under the cabinet and all I have to do is watch when the water container needs to be refilled!!
