    One of the best purchases we have made. Ice is perfect. We do not use our ice maker in the refrigerator anymore because of this. Highly recommend if you want the perfect ice.

    I’ve only had this nightmare for 6 months and it’s already gone to waste. It leaks everywhere because of a faulty seal inside the machine but if I want it fixed i have to pay a couple hundred dollars. This ice machine already isn’t cheap I’m not going to pay more to have it fixed when it’s only been 6 months. Before the leak it makes a very loud squealing noise just not worth the money

    For the first few months this thing has been the most Amazing appliance ever. Now it makes noises on its cleaning cycle that are so loud we are forced to shut it off which of course keeps it from making Ice .. Working through Best Buy now to exchange it. I will say that before It was 5 stars accross the board!!

    We use this ice maker everyday for fresh ice. Purchased almost 2yrs ago and still love it. The ice size is perfect. The ice taste depends on the quality of the water. We use filtered water so the ice is perfect. Worth it!

    Awesome ice maker, Fast, Quiet (other than a squeeking noise as it cuts off ice or something) but we have absolutely loved it. We have to fill the Side Tank about every 2 days or so but we are a family of 5 and use a lot of ice per day.

    Very easy to clean ice machine that produces reliable and satisfying ice. I was hoping the app allows for selecting between nugget ice and regular ice but as the title implies, only produces nugget ice.

    This is a very excellent ice machine. It makes ice like at restaurants. I use my ice machine everyday. I actually had bought two of them several months apart to give one of them to my niece. I gave her the stainless silver one and I got the black stainless steel.

    We purchased this machine August 5, 2023. We had to replace it in January 2024 under warranty for the horrific screeching noise. Now, August 28, 2024, it has gone out again with a different issue. Because it is out of warranty, it’s not replaceable. We used distilled water only, as well. Absolutely not worth the money. There are posts all over the internet about this. It’s great until it’s not. And it is a product that just does not last.

      Thanks for sharing your concerns as they are valued and welcome as we continually strive to improve the products and services we offer. We do have a couple of tips to share. Even when using distilled water in your Opal, it is essential you follow the instructions in the online Owner's Manual to descale and sanitize the ice maker on a regular basis. We strongly encourage you to provide a minimum of 3" of air clearance on all sides as well as the back of the unit and to periodically, use a handheld vacuum or an attachment on your vacuum cleaner to clean the vents on the sides or back of the unit. We understand your disappointment and hope we have the chance to restore your faith in our brand. GE_Appliances
