Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you like Sonic ice, this is the ice maker for you. It does an excellent job of creating that pellet ice that you love! It has a drip tray that keeps the counter clean from water dripping. It has the extra water reservoir so you don’t have to constantly refill. It makes the ice quickly and fairly quiet. Very happy with this product. I highly recommend. It also has WiFi connectivity to schedule ice making if you want.

I've toyed with the idea of buying an ice maker for awhile mainly because I grew tired of the endless trips to the sink to fill our ice trays and mopping up the water that I spill onto the floor when transporting the trays to the freezer. Anyways, I opted for this model because of the nugget size ice that it makes. Ironically, I don't enjoy drinking water, but I love to chew on ice so to reduce the damage to my teeth I opted for this model. It is pricey, but so far we all love it. As soon as I unpacked it, and ran x2 cleaning cycles, I started making ice. The only negative aspect of this ice maker is it drips water everytime you open the tray. They provide a drip tray which is nice, but for the money, you would think their engineers could figure out how to reclaim the water rather then it just drip onto the tray. Otherwise, it's great ice maker.  

Love my Opal! I was really skeptical due to the reviews but as winter is coming and I was so tired of having to go out to get my ice, I decided to go ahead and get it. I have been watching it for a couple years now. It works great and I use it every other day. I just built up a supply and as it disappears I make more. I would suggest buying it locally and if you have a problem you don’t have to ship it back just go back to the store.

Awesome dealings with Best Buy and GeekSquad protection services! Will definitely buy all my appliances from here every time! The opal nugget icemaker is amazing!

We have loved this ice maker from the start. Best “Chewing” ice out there. We live full time in a camper and the size works very well for us. Plenty of ice for the whole day!

This is our third Opal and by far the best one. Fast and quiet. The external tank makes keeping the hopper full so easy. Way to go GE!

I love, do you hear me Luuuuuuuv this machine because it satisfies my ice addiction. My husband bought the “lil’ fridge dairy and gets mad that I don’t share when his runs out. Everyone who sees it try’s to steal and and gets kicked out my house. Also bought my son one, and he has the same problem when people visit. Can’t wait for the newest one, I’m sure that will be even better!

This is just a fantastic appliance. If you are able to get this, then do. If you and your family like the “Good Ice,” do not hesitate. It’s been on constant rotation since Christmas Day. The app is a bit tricky but once you’ve got it connected to your home WiFi, you can schedule it to turn on and off. I have ours turning on at 3:00am and off at 8:30pm everyday. Ice all day long.

Love this nugget ice and it is quieter than our other brand ($400 more now) which was loud, didn’t have the water reserve tank and quit working properly after 1+ year. Would buy again and family and friends now want this too!

Makes the best ice!! Don’t really need the Bluetooth function but since it was on sale I got it. I buy spring water for it. The fresh ice is the best to grab and eat! It’s great for drinks!

I love this ice machine! I know it’s a steep price but it truly is worth the money! Very easy to use! The ice is the perfect small cubes that we all love! The machine makes me want to drink more ice water!

I hate I waited so long to buy this! I am in absolute love with it! It’s better then sonic ice because it’s always fresh and kind of soft. I hesitated on purchasing because I wasn’t sure how it would really work but when the ice melts it just makes fresh ice! I Love this thing! No more trips to sonic for bags of ice and wasted freezer space. Do not hesitate just buy it!

Great ice and it makes a lot of it. It is a little louder than I would prefer.

If you’ve made it far enough to look at a review of this product, I can tell you need this in your life. Besides the very minor drawbacks mine has run flawlessly and I’ve enjoyed having it in my kitchen. Ok the drawbacks real quick, the bucket isn’t refrigerated, ice melts constantly. You’ll need to use your scoop and “pick at it” every once in a while to get it producing again. Lastly, it’s warm. I have it in a corner with two sides closed off and it gets kinda warm behind it. Bear in mind and just be cognizant. Buy it, you’re gonna love it. P.S. Use cold refrigerated filtered water.

This ice maker has been the BEST purchase I’ve ever made! I’ve had it for right at a year now, it’s on all day every day and I’ve had no problems! The ice stays frozen and doesn’t stick together and it’s so crisp! PERFECTION! Very well worth every penny!

We've had this ice maker for just about a month, but it has been as good as advertised. It quickly generates nugget ice and my family has enjoyed it immensely. I'll write a follow up with another review at 6 months but, so far, the family says two thumbs up!

Bought this ice maker last month and I couldn’t be more happier. I use the ice everyday, it makes ice for continued use without having to press anything. It tells you when to add water, which is great. I love this so much and kept telling my son, he went out and bought one for himself.

I was so excited to receive my ice maker. I have been watching the price for a while so when it went on sale and a extra $30 off with rewards and rest on credit card no interest for 18 months.Yes please, but back to the ice machine very easy to put together and please get it with water tank on side so its just the connection of the water line to the machine, add water, plug it in and ice nuggets in 20 minutes. The first batch of ice to come out is kind of hard but after that batch the better ice is all you get. I love my machine worth every penny

Love it. Not too loud, great ice! But, make sure to buy the warranty!

I bought this ice maker as a Mother's Day gift for my wife and she had a fit when she saw it!! She loves the crunchy ice and how quiet it is so I guess that I did good...it was a bit pricier than I wanted but so far it's been very worth it.
