Customer Ratings & Reviews

Me and my husband love ice so we would usually get one those big ice bags every 2 weeks or so (depending if we had any visitors). Since it's been hot we've been running out of ice faster than usual and going to the store to get more is becoming a problem because they're usually sold out. This bad boi is pricey, but so worth it. I no longer have to go search for ice in this Cali heat and it's the perfect addition to have for my coffee bar.

This is by far the coolest and most useful gadget, that i’m enjoying at the moment! It’s the perfect setup in my home office, where i can enjoy beverages on ice while i’m hard at work. The ice does not disappoint…its soft, delicious and quite self-sufficient.

Continuously and quickly makes perfect nugget ice chips every time. With the reservoir on the side it practically guarantees that you'll always have ice. Keeps up with my heavy demands for ice. Makensure you clean regularly and buy the correct cleaning agent for the nugget ice maker. It's a bit pricey but if you catch a sale, jump on it!

Nice Machine. We like the bullet ice and this machine does a great job of making it. Having the reservoir on the side is beneficial.

This was a present for my husband. I thought it a bit ridiculous since we have an ice maker in our refrigerator. Well, it is a hit with everyone in the house (yes, including me). The ice somehow enhances the flavor of your drink. It doesn’t melt fast as one would think. Now to the machine itself. You literally plug it in, add water, and there it goes! It stops when the bucket is full. Scoop out what you want and push in the drawer. It senses when ice was removed and fills it right back up. We’ve created a drink bar specifically for our Opal. No complaints!

The Opal makes ice really quickly and is so easy to use. Had a party last night and maker kept up, and most I think want to buy one.

Love this little Nugget Ice machine. This is my 2nd one. We make 3-6 buckets every day & wore my last one out in less than 5 years. Luckily I had the extended warranty for 5 years & was totally refunded my original purchase price. So, we bought a new one at a lesser price than the 1st one & it's new and improved and we love it. Highly recommend it.

Great ice maker. Fresh ice at all times. Very easy to keep filled with water with side holder on side.

So far this ice machine is amazing! I was one of the people that bought a Samsung fridge that has a broken ice maker. This has replaced it even better. I no longer have to care about the stupid ice makers that are built into fridges. I am going to make sure to clean it every week like the manual says so that I don't get the horrible sounds in my ice maker like people are showing. You can even schedule it to make ice right as you are getting ready for work, then make yourself a huge cup of ice for your day!

Absolutely in love with this ice make completely worth it! Had it for about 2 months now & its still no disappointments or issues.

I love Opal. This is my second unit. The first model didn't have a tank. I thought it was a silly addon. I was wrong. The tank is great. This unit is also much quieter than my previous one, but makes the same great ice. When this unit outlives itself, i'll be back at Best Buy buying another. When old model died, Best Buy had new unit in stock. I picked it up curbside wham bam home cleaning it and making ice again within 1 hour.

This is a great ice maker. It works well for a family of 4 and if we need to stock up, we can bag it and put extra in the freezer. The only thing about this ice maker, which may be a common thing with all of them, is the grinding sound it makes while it is in ice making mode. You wouldn't notice it much if a radio or vent were on in the kitchen, but it only make the sound when it is refilling the ice bin.

My husband bought this ice maker for me because I like to eat ice. And I absolutely LOVE the ice that this machine makes! Everyone at our house is drinking icy drinks and crunching ice :) The water reservoir holds quite a bit and I was able to stockpile ice for a gathering in about a day and a half. I am excited about my ice maker and would definitely recommend this product!!

Love this machine and the ice it makes. My whole family enjoys the nugget ice. Very easy set up and great design.

Used ofr the first time this past weekend. Pro's : makes ice quickly and with good consistency, just like getting "Sonic" ice, inexpensive compared to a full-size machine... and the unit has solid construction (not lightweight) Con's : took a few minutes to set-up and run through the initial cleaning, ice storage bin is very small, and the water reservoir needs to be refilled frequently

I’ve gone through multiple ice machines just trying to find the one that makes the perfect ice and works quietly. This GE sonic ice maker is the one. It keeps up with our ice usage, which is quite a bit. I highly recommend

amazing in every way! super easy to set up and maintain. fills up fast with ice which is amazing! reminds me of chick fil a ice lol

How I regret not buying this sooner. this makes the BEST ice and so quickly. A little louder than my old one but that one sucked.

Easy to use great for your ice lovers compact and not to bulky

Makes the perfect soft nugget ice, best with Sparkling water. Easy to clean, app is great and easy to use!
