Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Opal 2.0 ice maker, particularly the excellent ice quality and ease of use. The side tank and its convenient size for countertop placement are also well-received. However, some customers have concerns regarding the noise level and long-term reliability, while others feel the cleaning process is a bit lengthy.

    I give it 5 stars for looks. Functionality is a 3-4, takes really long to start producing ice and uses tons of water very quickly. Its not really loud, but it isn't quiet either. Easy to put together and clean. Luckily I have tons of counter space cuz this thing would overpower a small space. Nothing about really screams worth the money - time will tell.

    TERRIBLE ICE MAKER

    GE has the WORST customer service, the ice machine stopped making ice. Like a dummy somehow I overlooked buying the protection plan from Best Buy. The ice maker was still under warranty and got a huge!! run around trying to get a replacement. The customer service person I first spoke with at GE was telling me to do all these things to troubleshoot that aren’t listed in the owners manual, second person I spoke with was far more reasonable and helpful, but still had a bunch of hoops to jump through. I bought this thinking spending this amount of money it would last. Cleaning is a LONG process and needs to be done every 8-12 weeks and the machine has to sit for 18 hours. The machine is heavy!! I’m sorry I bought it!! It looks really nice, but ultimately who needs a $550 paperweight? When it was working it was great, GE knows there is a problem with this model and when you call customer service it’s bad.

    Kind of noisy and there’s no insulation so the ice is constantly melting making it very inefficient.
