Amazing, yet pricey
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing product. Would only be better with an automatic dispenser for hygiene reasons, but cleaning system is great - provided the price doesn’t run you off

Great Ice - Horrible Noise.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For what this thing costs, I am super disappointed. Biggest complaint is the noise. For the most part, the noise isn't bad. But occasionally as this thing cycles it sounds like it is someone dragging their fingernails across a chalk board......only much louder. I thought maybe the unit was defective. I exchanged it for the same model. Nope.... the second one does the same thing. It doesn't do it all of the time, but at least 3-4 times a day for several minutes at a time. Thought the Remote app would be nice, as you can set a timer when it runs. Problem is that since it is constantly recycling ice, you end up leaving it run 24-7 to make sure you have ice when you want it. So kind of a useless feature. Like the nugget ice, but there has to be better options out there. So far Best Buy has treated me right as far as returns and service.

Posted .Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave a review on your Opal. We can understand how this would be frustrating to hear. A squeaking noise would be considered normal. This happens when ice builds up around the mechanisms of the unit and it needs to defrost. Good thing is, the defrost cycle is automatic and takes about 10 to 45 minutes. You can take a look at an article on our website titled OPAL ICE MAKER - NORMAL SOUNDS for more information. Hope this is helpful! All the best. -Michael@GEA

Great gift.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this for my husband for Christmas. We have been wanting it for awhile so I got it for him and he has spent two days making ice to stock the freezer. The machine itself is quite and has done a great job. Everyone loves the ice.

Great Ice Maker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This s a great ice maker. It started making ice within about 8 to 10 minutes, filled the bin on a couple of hours. Not noisy as I had read in some reviews. Very happy with it so far, and my wife loves the ice.

Great ice, terrible machine.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good while it works. The machine developed an unberable grinding and whining noise. I purchased a protection plan for it, but Best buy is refusing to service it even with 2 year protection plan because the protection plan is only good for 1 year... apparently.

Posted .This is a wonderful unit that brings "the good ice" into every home. Begin enjoying your first batch of ice in 10 minutes or less, with 1.6 pounds of ice produced per hour! We're happy to hear you're enjoying your Opal and we're confident it'll continue to impress.

Great ice!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wish I had bought this years ago. Totally addicting! Most reviews say this model is noisy, but I don’t find it to be very loud at all. And what noise it makes is only for a short period when it is making ice.
