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 am so DISAPPOINTED! I love the nugget ice and it worked great for 5 days and it will no longer draw water from the tank. It still works if I pour water into the onboard basin, but that's not what I paid for. There are tons of ice machines that require constant water additions that aren't this expensive. I'm returning this weekend. The packaging on this one appeared repackaged and I'm not surprised. I feel like I probably received a return but judging from the latest reviews I guess I'll have to find another ice maker.

    Makes great chewable ice just wish it kept it cold so it didn’t melt so fast I. The machine does put off a lot of heat which could be a problem for your cabinets.

    The first one died after 14 days and I had to submit a support call. It took about three weeks to get a replacement. So far the replacement is holding up pretty well but just pray you don’t have to engage with support for this thing because it’s a nightmare. Email instructions don’t make any sense, takes them forever to get back to you. I had pretty high expectations because this is a $600 ice machine that only does one thing. When it works it’s amazing and my wife loves it, when it doesn’t well you know the rest

    We bought one of these and originally loved the way it made ice, but shortly it started making a grinding noise and quit producing much ice. Returned the ice maker and bought another based on the assurance that no others had the same issue. Second time around, same thing occurred. We are in the process of working with GE to get this second one returned to them and see if one direct from their factory will have better results. Perhaps this was a bad batch of machines to one best buy store. We will love it and the ice it makes if it continues to do so without the horrible sound. I have been told by GE that this is NOT the noise of it defrosting and is definitely not the way it was intended to operate. I will adjust my review once I know I have seen one work to its fullest.

    Very expensive but we buy ice constantly. I think it should pay for itself in a few years. Be sure to use distilled water.
