    Horrible Product!

    I purchased this Jan. 7, 2023 and It is HORRIBLE!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!! Not only does it make terrible sounds, I have to clean it every week even before the cleaning light is on. I have only used distilled water and it still is high upkeep. Very pricey when you pay 1.40 per gallon of water. I have kept it clean and done everything right and it has mildew that is along back side and in water reservoir only. Not in tubes and not is side tank. Just the part after it goes through the machine. Do yourself a favor and purchase a self cleaning ice maker.

      Hi there - Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that you're not having the best experience with your ice maker. Some noises are to be expected with this machine; however, if you feel the sounds are abnormal, we recommend contacting Opal Support for the options available under the one year limited warranty. All the best. -Don@GEA GE_Appliances

    Just replaced an original Opal version of this that had failed and couldn't be happier. This unit is fast, quiet and doesn't put out the same amount of heat the old one did. The only complaint I have is that the side tank doesn't hold a full gallon like the old version did. More like 2/3 of a gallon when fully empty. Not sure why the change since most people fill from a gallon container. Other than that, it works amazing!

    Ice is amazing. It makes it super quick. Only complaint is that is leaks water when you open the drawer, but thankfully it comes with a drip tray.

    The consistency of the ice is excellent. Airy and crunchy just like Sonic ice. We bought one for my mother and father for Christmas and they absolutely love it!

    As a younger tech-savvy guy, I thought this high-end ice maker would be a great addition. Instead, I got a glorified paperweight with LEDs. Let’s start with the Wi-Fi setup it’s absolutely useless. I tried every trick in the book: resetting the machine, switching Wi-Fi bands, updating firmware, uninstalling/reinstalling the SmartHQ app. Still nothing. GE’s app is buggy garbage, and support just sends you generic copy paste replies. The design is flawed too. The lid is finicky, the sensors act up constantly, and the side tank is awkward to fill and doesn’t sit right. The noise level is higher than expected, and don’t even think about using it in a quiet kitchen or small apartmentit hums and clicks like it’s fighting demons inside. Reliability? Within the first week it started having random shutdowns. No error messages, no warningjust shuts off. Then the machine began acting like it’s full when it’s clearly not. Restarting it became a daily ritual. Not what I signed up for with a $600+ appliance. Bottom line: Don’t let the sleek look fool you. GE slapped a nice finish on a product that barely functions. The “smart” features are broken, the machine is temperamental, and for this price, I expected excellencenot endless headaches. I’m returning this overpriced boat anchor and advising everyone to look elsewhere. GE really fumbled hard with this one.
