Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Opal 2.0 ice maker, particularly the excellent ice quality and ease of use. The side tank and its convenient size for countertop placement are also well-received. However, some customers have concerns regarding the noise level and long-term reliability, while others feel the cleaning process is a bit lengthy.

    Excellent ice maker, makes Sonic ice quickly. We use ours at home and carry it with us when we camp in our motor home and it pays for itself in savings by not having to buy ice. But it’s the quality and crunch of the ice my wife loves. Best birthday gift ever. Be sure to get Geek Squad protection.

    This ice machine makes the most delicious ice cubes. It took a little tike to hook up to WiFi but I can now turn it on with my phone. Makes a great addition if your fridge ice machine is small and you have friends over for drinks. We put this is our bonus room for guests when we watch sporting events/movies.

    This machine works great but I could not for the life of me get the optional filter to work with my side tank. Other than that, great product. Wife approved!

    Awesome ice maker! The pellet ice is clean and produces very fast. One note is to clean the system once a month by using a descaler so that the pumps don't clog up or use ultra-filtered water.

    Since my refrigerator with the ice maker has passed the point of no repair, the main refrig doesn’t make enough ice for the family. Never enough ice in my house, This one works great and have ice when I need it. It’ll eventually sit on my bar in my man cave after I replace the main refrigerator. I’d buy it again

    Best little ice machine EVER! Don’t let the price scare you. Even though it is pricey, it is well worth it! This thing makes ALOT of ice. Nice tiny nugget size ice. The kind you get a QT. It has a refillable water tank or you can connect the hose to your water line. So, what are you waiting for? Go get one!

    This nugget ice maker is fantastic! It took a couple of days to get in the groove, but it makes great ice, lots of it, and is very quiet. I had a few questions about the instructions, and the company was very responsive to me to get them answered. I would recommend this machine to anyone!

    If you will sleep close to this machine don't buy

    This is the loudest kitchen appliance you will ever have. If wherever you are putting this in your house is close to your bed, don not buy it. It makes a loud circulating humming noise constantly and then you can hear the ice drop into the bin periodically. It will keep you awake at night. We purchased sound proofing, similar to what they use in music studios, to go in the area where we have our machine. It helps, but still really loud. We do like the ice it provides, but with the high price and the noise, we don't think it is worth it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    The best countertop ice maker. It makes tremendous tasting ice and it makes it pretty quickly. About a pound an hour and the size and softness of the ice is just like you would get at a restaurant or gas station with nugget ice. My wife is going to end up needing dentures soon going through the amount she chews :)

    The ice maker in our fridge went kaput. Instead of repairing that, we took this opportunity to invest in this nugget ice maker. It's fantastic. The ice is perfectly chewable and works great in water, iced coffee, and any other iced drink. This is definitely "the good ice".
