    This thing is the legit ice maker. It is exactly what you are looking for if you want nugget ice. It makes enough to keep up to about 4 drinks cold and refreshed with ice.

    Bought this ice maker as a Christmas gift for my mother, so far she says she absolutely loves it! She is an ice chewer and always said sonic ice is “the good ice” and that’s exactly what kind of ice this machine makes. Little nuggets of pure joy I’d say.. This device also has a light inside though not the brightest, gets the job done. The opal ice maker also connects to an app and tells you when it’s needs to be descaled and all that good stuff. It’s a great machine and gift!

    Save yourself a return trip to the store

    If I could give this zero stars I would. After reading mixed reviews for this item I pulled the trigger and purchased one of these units. Thank goodness for BestBuys 45 day return policy. The unit was a complete disappointment from day one. It is advertised that it will produce 1 pound/hour. This is a lie. It took about 24 hours to fill the 3 lb ice bin. The unit ran constantly and never would produce more than about 3 lbs every 24 hours. I figured the unit must be defective due to the lack of ice production and constantly going from “Making Ice” mode to “Defrost” mode. After about a week of listening to this thing constantly running and making a disappointing amount of ice I returned to the store and exchanged it. I do have to say thanks to the local BestBuy staff helping me exchange units. Once home I set up the new unit being sure to carefully follow the provided instructions. I went to bed that night with high expectations to wake up and find the 3 lb ice bin full of ice. Nope. Not even close. Just like the first unit I had the bin was less than 1/2 full after running over 10 hours. There was just enough ice to fill my mug before heading to work. Later that day I came home to find the ice maker less that half full again. Just enough to fill a single mug with ice for dinner. This half full, fill a mug, wait 12 hours to fill again then empty repeated for a month. I called GE told them the situation and that I was even using bottled water in the unit. They said making 1 lb of ice per hour is optimal for the unit and that it sounded like the unit was indeed working correctly. I finally got around to returning the second unit to the store a few days before the 45 day closing window ended. Again thanks to BestBuy for taking this piece of junk ice maker off of my hands. When I received the power bill for the full month that I had the GE Opal ice maker plugged in and running and it was a full 12 dollars higher than the previous and following months. After this experience I have to say it will be a cold day in …… before I purchase an appliance from GE. With a price of nearly 700$ I expected far far more than I got not once but TWICE.
