    You like fast cars? You like freedom? You wanna be one of those guys in the “touch of modern” commercials? This is the ice machine for you. As you search to find that perfect vinyl record to play for your guests - “The Beatles - Revolver” or stick with something a little more classic like “Fleetwood Mac - Rumours?” No, you size up your cronies and Eric Clapton - Slowhand seems like the appropriate recording to celebrate the victory of your favorite sailing team. After 20 minutes of mansplaining your thoughtful choice to your peers, your ice is ready to decorate the boulevardiers you crafted as you educate them on the rich history of the spirit you just served.

    Excellent machine, produces great ice, simple and practical. Recommend using spring water to make your ice, it enhances the taste and keeps the machine clean.

      Hello. We’re so glad to hear your family is loving the Opal, and the quality ice it produces! We’re confident it will continue to provide great ice for you for a long time to come. We do regret that you’re not fully satisfied with the cleaning requirements. In general, we recommend sanitizing the unit once a week and descaling it about every two to three weeks, to ensure optimum quality. More details about care and cleaning are available starting on page 7 of the manual, which you can view on our GE Appliances website when you look up the model number and go to the product page. Your feedback regarding cleaning will be shared with our team. We hope this helps, and we’re always glad to assist if you have any other concerns. Best wishes! -Sarah@GEA GE_Appliances

    Great product! I love the sleek and modern look of this ice maker. It matches everything in the kitchen and produces those perfect nuggets. It’s pretty quiet and makes new ice fairly quickly. Lastly, it’s super user-friendly!

    Love it! The side tank is a must. Overall a bit pricey. I use filtered water and it makes great ice in short time and keeps up with my family.

    Returned it. Yes it makes great ice however there is a 10+ step process to clean it every week so it doesn't build up mildew. I do not need anymore maintenance in my life. It constantly runs so have it stored where you can't hear it. Other than that, it would have been a keeper

    I love my water to be SUPER cold so I’m always getting ice by the bags. I was done with buying bags and told my husband that we’re probably spending about the same amount with all the bags we’ve bought! I had a little ice maker but it couldn’t keep up with my ice intake :) So we went to Best Buy to look for one. As soon as I walked in, I saw this beauty and said yep, she’s coming home with me!! I’ve had her for over a year now and she’s paid for herself numerous times. IF YOU LOVE ICE AS MUCH AS I DO, GET THIS ICE MAKER! This was best investment that I ever purchased! The WiFi and the app to let you know when to clean it, or to add more water is so convenient. Y'all get one, especially if you love that Sonic ice!

    Well I loved this ice maker and the nugget ice is the best!!! But there are flaws with this machine. First it is sooo loud. Making the ice is loud. Other times the defrost mode makes the machine scream/squeak so loudly. Also this machine needs to be cleaned out on a regular basis per the instructions. This includes draining it and cleaning with bleach. I wanted to love it but had to return it. I hope they improve the technology or offer nugget ice in refrigerators. For now it’s back to Chick-fil-A

    Do you love the sonic nugget ice? This is even better. I love this machine. My first one lasted almost 5 years but luckily I bought the extra warranty and Bestbuy just gave me another when it quit. Would still but it again even tho that happened.

    OPAL NUGGET 2.0 IS PERFECT

    I purchased this nugget ice maker after the ice maker in my fridge no longer worked. I was sick of buying ice and needed a solution. I am an ice chewers so nugget ice made the beat sense as less impactful on teeth. the ice make is easy to use and makes ice quickly. I turn it on after work and trum off before I go to bed. I put the surplus ice in a freezer bin to use when needed. I am very happy with the ice maker. No issues but wish the container kept the ice frozen so would not need to put excess in freezer.

    Great little ice maker and no cold water line hook-up! But it is a little expensive. AND the latest version 2.0 - not sold on Amazon - added wifi so programming it was a breeze. Now it is only on when we need it.

    This ice maker is amazing and it keeps up with 5 adults. Some reviews state that it is noisy, but honestly, it doesn't bother us when the TV is on. I would definitely recommend this one! Easy set up and easy to fill water reservoir.

    Great ice; machine failed before warranty ended

    IceMaker worked great, until it didn't - stopped making ice, and started making large noises after about 10 mos. Good news: It was still under warranty. Bad news: I've been dealing with OnPoint Support (Opal's support and service warranty provided) to get a replacement unit shipped for more than 2 months, and though they've agreed to replace (exchange) it, they haven't yet been able to get it shipped. Terribly frustrating. Had it not bee for this very poor support experience, I could have rated the machine a 5 - if you like this shape of ice, it's the best!

    Worked great and made amazing ice for 10 months. We regularly cleaned it and only used filtered water. About 11 months in, it began taking longer to make ice. Now, at 11.5 months, it is making the most horrendous, grinding and squealing noises. The only way to stop it is to unplug it for a few seconds. It then stops, but it starts making them again in a couple of hours. Bad unit, or VERY expensive junk?? Whichever it is, it needs to be fixed, because $500 is too expensive for this thing not to last several years (especially when we clean it often and only use filtered water!!)

      We know these issues with your Opal must be concerning, and we want to assist. For an issue with ice production, you may want to check the chute to ensure it isn’t blocked. You can try cleaning the condenser by blowing compressed air into the fan opening as well. You should also make sure there’s at least a 3” gap around the entire unit and nothing is covering the vent on the side. Regarding the noise, we do have a description of normal sounds the unit may make on page 13 of the manual (which can be viewed on our GE Appliances website when you look up the model number and go to the product page). A grinding noise may not be ordinary. You might want to try resetting the unit by unplugging it for 3 to 4 hours; this can often resolve an issue. If you need to reach out to our Opal Support team, they can be reached at 866-907-6718. Our specialists would be glad to assist further with these concerns. GE_Appliances
