Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent ice maker! I've been looking for a "good ice" maker that would fit in my kitchen and keep the ice ready. This machine makes really great ice. It makes some noise when it's actually making ice. Sounds like the humming of a refrigerator or dishwasher. Not bad... and only when it's making more ice after you get some out for your drinks. I would definitely recommend this machine. Actually, just did recommend it yesterday!!

I love it. It can be a little noisy at times. But we never run out of Ice now. Very easy to set up and use.

I LOVE my machine! We have had it for almost two years and we are just now having some minor issues. It can be a bit of a pain to constantly keep it clean but it’s worth its upkeep. Everyone loves it.

We love this ice maker, fast and great crunchy ice. I have had it about a year. I clean it every month. The ice does melt faster than a large cube.

Makes great nugget ice pretty fast. It is expensive and heavy to move around. We use it at the house then move to the camper when we travel. The only issue with it that I do not like is the loud screeching noise when it's in defrost mode. It is super annoying. For the amount of money this thing costs, I feel as if that noise shouldn't be so annoying.

This is great for the most part. As far as making ice, this is wonderful. It makes more noise than I thought but it is not overly annoying. Our first one had an internal failure within the first 6 weeks, BB covered it and gave us a new one about 2 months ago and it has worked great so far. Get the protection plan for this!

I bought this for my wife as she LOVES ice. Makes ice in small chunks, once it gets going it goes pretty quickly. Initial setup is a little time consuming and cleaning process isn't the fastest. This is by far superior to the other ice machine we own. It's night and day. Personally we only use filtered water, the ice is great tasting. If you can afford this machine and love ice its a no brainer for me.

It makes crunchy ice. No idea why but it makes the cokes taste better and more fizzy. Item is flawless so far. To the reviews that say its noisy, yea its just like a fridge. It makes sounds and goes through cycles but thats normal.

Easily the best ice maker that I have ever bought. It is great for cocktails. The side water tank makes a huge difference. I thought I would spend every day filling up the tank, but it turns out I only have to do it every couple of days. The best feature is how fast it makes ice. It takes a bout a hour to make ice to fill around half the bin. ☺️. 10 out 10 would recommend. The WiFi features are a bit gimmicky, so don't buy it for that reason.

This ice maker is awesome! I purchased it after receiving two damaged ones from NewAir. GE costs more but was well worth it. The set up was easy and I love the side tank to keep the ice flowing. After hearing the noise from the other machines, this little hum is a cake walk. I am looking forward to having my friends over to meet my new found friend! No more trips to Sonic for ice :-)

Great ice maker. Pellet ice is easy on the teeth and compliments whatever you are sipping on. A little pricy but worth it.

The best ice maker, easy to use, fast, delicios, excellent

Unit makes great nugget ice relatively quickly. Makes plenty of ice for 2-4 people. My only complaints are that it is a bit noisy(sits next to large fridge and it is much noisier than its larger counterpart) and there is no water line connection option. I have to refill it with 1 gallon about once a week with average use by two adults.

Best little investment and worth every penny if you don't like refilling I've trays or don't have a fridge with an ice maker. It does take up a good amount of space and cleaning it can be tedious but I absolutely love my opal ice maker

Love this ice machine! The ice nuggets are perfect and the production is super fast! I hesitated for a while because of the price, but its so worth it! At initial start up it can be a little noisy, but hey, it’s making ice, I expect some noise. No leaks and it makes a ton of ice in one go! Happy customer here !

The GE opal ice maker is awesome within minutes you have a cup of ice. Family loves the little nuggets it makes. Its nice and compact to sit on countertop we love it!

works like a charm... great ice great value! I Would purchase again for sure...

So, I absolutely love this product. This is my second one. The first only lasted about a year and a half. HOWEVER, I didn't stick to the cleaning/descaling as recommended. Hard water buildup pretty well ruined the original. This time around the maintenance will be kept. The ice is great and the speed is even better. Wifi isn't used much but its a pretty appliance and does need some TLC

I obsessively looked for ice makers, watched so many comparison videos and ultimately decided on the GE Opal 2. We were buying bags of ice from Sonic which was hit or miss and inconvenient. House with 6 people who love nugget ice and this definitely produces. Easy to use, easy set up and easy cleanup.

Easy to set up, love the ice. Small enough to fit under cabinets, yet makes plenty of ice.
