    The consistency of the ice is excellent. Airy and crunchy just like Sonic ice. We bought one for my mother and father for Christmas and they absolutely love it!

    We love our Opal ice machine--we've long been fans of nugget ice and the machine will pay for itself with saved money from trips to Sonic to buy ice~

    this ice maker was a complete waste of money. About 6 weeks before we had had it a year, it started making a terrible grinding noise( apparently a common issue). We reached out to GE, and after a lot of back and forth, we were asked to film the noise. So we did. Then they finally decided that they would send us a "new" machine with no warranty. once it was received, we sent the other one back. After 6 days with the "new" ice maker, it started telling us to add water, and would not make ice. we learned this is ask a common problem with this machine. clearly we were sent a refurbished machine instead of a new one. Since we were without a warranty, we donated the ice maker to Goodwill and vowed to never purchase another GE product again.

    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.

    Nice ice when it worked. It died a little over a year after purchase. No support or parts from GE for small appliances so it is now a boat anchor :(. Looking at other reviews here and elsewhere, avoid at all cost!
