Nugget Ice Maker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ice is perfect nugget ice and the machine produces a lot. My only concern so far is that directions indicate it should be cleaned once a week. That is a lot of work for once a week!

Must buy!!!! Just do it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been contemplating this purchase for some time, when our other counter top ice maker finally died we took the plunge. Best thing we ever purchased! Works so much better, cleaner and faster than our previous machine. We only use pre-bottled water to cut down on contaminants and as frequent cleanings. Highly highly recommend purchasing

Love the ice maker
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have used it every week since purchase a year ago. Great for iced lattes, iced tea, and just to eat and its softer than regular ice. I made plenty of ice ahead of thanksgiving and its performed well the day of. It’s just as eye catching as my espresso maker although not as pretty and shiny. Pricey but no regrets and no more weekly trips to sonics for their ice.

Pleased
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked the idea of a freestanding unit because ice-makers built in to refrigerators notoriously break down. When I saw this unit makes softer ice pellets like what you'd get at Sonic, I decided on this model. I'm well pleased and the money I'm saving on Sonic's "Ocean Water" will pay for this machine... in maybe ten years at this rate, ha. Don't judge the first pieces of ice that get made, they were kind of extra-hard and I got worried. A couple hours in I had some nice, more "fluffy" pieces. Mind you, the texture is not fluffy like shaved ice, but not rock solid either. This machine is giving the unanticipated bonus of helping me increase my water intake, so I'm happy all around.

Love Nugget Ice
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you like the nugget ice this is the ice maker for you. Now it is a bit noisy that’s for sure. But if you can get past the noise I think you’ll be happy with the output of ice.

I haven’t used my ice maker in my fridge since getting this. My kids like it so much that they will stop and pick up a ziplock bag full. Always enough ice. Easy to set up!

My family loves it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My family loves our ice machine! It’s has become a staple in our house when grabbing a drink or just something crunchy. The only problem we had was with the filter but once it was in right everything has been smooth ever since.

Amazing ice chips!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ice maker in our refrigerator is unreliable, so we bought the Opal 2.0. My family uses it every single day. Even if the ice maker in the fridge suddenly started working again, we still would continue using this machine. If it constantly churned out pellets, it would get 5 stars. For some reason, it will occasionally produce uncompressed shreds of ice. Just as randomly, it will start working again with no intervention.

Nugget icemaker
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my absolute favorite kitchen appliance. If you have soft water, water, recommend descaling at least every 4 to 6 months if not, and your water is hard, would recommend descaling at least every other month. The machine operates so much better.

Great product… avoid the total tech membership
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding product and my wife and I love it. I would not trust the Total Tech membership though. I was lied to multiple times and it cost me money and time. They have suddenly changed their policies and many of them were changed to things that cost me money and they told me nothing they could do. They may change warranties and policies on you if it saves them money. Buy the ice maker though… great product.

Best little ice maker ever!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I LOVE OPAL! She is an amazing ice maker! when I brought her home and made her part of our family it was clear that she was the new favorite electronic child. She makes pellet ice, and does it without complaint hour after hour. I use a Zero water filter to fill her tank. Once you get one, your freezer ice maker will miss you. (I cant even tell you the last time I used the ice dispenser on my freezer.) Thank you GE for a great product. Thank you Bestbuy for putting it on sale in front of me and causing the impulse buy that brought this amazing product home for me and my family to enjoy!
