    This is a fantastic addition to our kitchen. It is funny but it even makes our drinks taste better. I love that the ice is hard yet soft enough that it doesn't hurt your teeth to chew.

    We love our GE Opal Ice Maker. We had a little issue but Best Buy replaced it quickly. We empty it probably twice a day.

    The ice is made quickly and is perfect. Only down side is the cleaning process since i have hard water. That has been fixed by me buying large bottled waters.

    Best purchase I have ever made from Best Buy! Machine is a favorite in my house so much so that I purchased one for my parents and my brother will be purchasing his own as well. Ice is the perfect size and an absolute must for anyone who loves ice! It is a little in the pricey side, but Worth every penny!

    This is the best tasting ice. I had another counter ice machine that made the ice taste plastic and gross. This doesn’t do that. Even with some of it melting back into and remaking ice. I wish I would have gotten it sooner. No more runs to the gas station for the good ice.

    My family loves this ice maker. This is my second machine. The first machine was clogged up from the hard water build up. I did clean the machine, but I guess not as often as I should have. Luckily, I had the Geek Squad protection on this device, as well as my other purchases from Best Buy. I walked in my local Best Buy, they looked up my account, and gave me a new one in the box. The newer model now will now flash "CLEANING" on the L.E.D. control panel when it is time to be cleaned. This happens every 100 hours of use while the machine is making ice.

      Hello- We appreciate your purchase and glad to hear your new model is working better for you. We always recommend using distilled water and not tap water. The L.E.D light on the control does make things a lot easier. Thank you for your feedback. We will share this with our engineering and design teams. Have a great day! Joyce@GEA GE_Appliances

    Setup was easy...After going through the cleaning process, filled the tank and had the first ice in 14 minutes. Ice is great. We also gained some space in our freezer since we dont use our ice maker any more. If you can afford this ice maker and like the nugget style ice then I recommend you go for it.

    Excellent product. Super fast and easy set up. Easy to maintain and clean. Definitely recommend this product. I've had this product about a month and have been very happy with the outcome. We are a family of 5 and used 16 ice trays a day having to refill them. With this machine we haven't even had to use the ice treats.

    I love this ice maker. It is very expensive, but worth it. The ice works well and is made quickly. We haven't had any issues with it. The ice is the type that is safe to chew which makes our kids really happy.

    This is a must have item for people who love nugget ice but it does have some issues. Pros: -Looks nice -Has wifi/app to schedule ice making -Ice is soft and chewy -Has side tank Cons: -Can be loud when making ice -WiFi/App can be flaky and every couple of months it has to be reset and the schedule redone -Takes up a lot of counter space -Expensive One more thing to note, don't be dumb like I was and put the ice bin or side tank in the dishwasher because they can and will shrink and warp (don't ask me how I know :( ).

    This ice maker is a permanent part of my family that’s how good it is, we have a household of 8 and it keeps up just make sure you put water in the tank. The Ice is so good that it can turn hot coffee cold and still last in the cup.

    Best purchase we've made in a long time!! Most used appliance in our house! Good chewing ice, just not quite as good as Sonic. These nuggets are a little harder, but still love it! Makes every beverage so much more enjoyable!
