Customer Ratings & Reviews

We love this ice maker so far. It was easy to set up and it started making ice within a couple minutes of filling up. It's not to difficult to clean. It saves us a lot of time and space not having to fill up ice trays in the freezer.

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!

Makes awesome Ice, but turns off automatically instead of continually making ice when it gets low via a sensor, so you have to remember to always turn it on. I believe at this price point it should have an always on feature that makes ice when the level drops below a certain point.

Love it and has made everyone in my house drink more water just to have this ice! Easy setup, self cleaning, and can be left on 24/7 as it allows the ice to melt and remake it without watering down the tank. Tank capacity also is perfect and ice is made very quickly

Love this ice maker! The ice stays cold, easy to clean machine, the ice stays nuggets if you decide to store bags in freezer. The fact that you can program it to make ice when you want is very convenient. And it does not leak or make a mess. I would highly recommend!

This works great! It fills up fast it’s easy to clean. Absolutely love it!

This is well worth it if you like the chewable ice that holds the flavor. Sonde works flawlessly. Pretty quiet and can control from your phone. Your guests will be impressed with your ice. Makes ice pretty fast will have plenty to go around. Has auto shut off when full and turns itself back on for more ice if you scoop some out. Took me a month to decide to purchase and glad I did. Should of purchased sooner.

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

Got this for my wife, I have ended up using it more than her. Perfect for mixed drinks. Read a lot of bad reviews about how loud the machine is and that it stops working, in some cases, as soon as a couple days. It is not silent, but reasonably quiet. Gets slightly louder when it first starts making ice, then gets quieter within minutes. Runs great as of now and has not had any issues.

We just love getting clean fresh nugget ice from this machine. It makes ice fast and the ice bin is fairly large. It was a breeze to set up. It can be a bit noisy when it is defrosting and descaling but otherwise is very quiet. One of our better buys 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

Makes ice just like sonic. Perfect chewable ice, all of the hype is true. Wife and kids love it. Super easy to fill and clean. Would definitely recommend to anyone on the fence about it. Ordered online and picked up curbside within an hour. Simple setup and was making ice almost instantly. Nowhere near as loud as i thought it would be, you can tell when it’s on but easy to forget about it.

What is it about women and chew ice (nuggets)? I bought this for my wife’s birthday after years of her asking for the discontinued Scottsman under-counter nugget machine. The empty GE box on the street attracted all the neighborhood house wives. Huge hit. It makes a racket and needs cleaning once a month but it is worth it. Endless Moscow mules make us the hit of the subdivision!

I like the texture and size of the ice cubes. It's great if you love chewing ice. I only had this ice maker for under a month and it's already making a squeaking noise. Kind of disappointed in that. I would expect to start hearing this type of noise at least 6 months after purchasing for the price I paid for it.

This product is amazing. I love having the extra water container as it last a long time. I have it set up with my Wi-Fi to start making ice at 2pm so it’s full when I get home from work and set to turn off at 9pm. The ice is the perfect size.

Set up was a bit confusing, but figured it out. The ice is amazing! After cleaning the 1st time, the machine started to screech very loudly. Looked at the manual and followed the process for deep cleaning, but the screeching only got louder. It is a trade off, amazing pellet ice, but it is very loud when making ice.

Seems expensive but well worth the money. - Easy assembly - Makes a lot of ice quickly. - Ice actually better than what you get in restaurants or convenience stores. Soft and crunchy at the same time. - Ice is slow to melt. Unlike other counter top makers which melt quickly - Makes drinks colder(don’t ask me how, may be my imagination) - Good size ice bucket. Stays full all day. - We got the black stainless which looks great on the counter top and matches larger appliances. - It’s not ugly like some other counter top ice makers. Very sleek with good lines and lighting. Yes the ice bucket has an adjustable light! Very nice feature. - if you are familiar with the large under counter ice maker (the $3k one). This is the same thing only smaller and made for the counter. - Reservoir easy to remove and fill. On the negative side: - Water drips from the bucket every time you open it to get ice. Be sure to use the drip tray. - Not in the instructions, but bucket must be securely closed to continue operation. Otherwise unit shuts off and ice melts - When bucket is full, ice making stops and does not always start again until bucket is opened and closed. Meaning when ice melts, it continues to melt and doesn’t re-fill automatically. Doesn’t happen all the time. - Uses a lot of water. I am filling the tank almost every day, Good news, it’s extremely easy to do.

We’ve had this for 9 months and absolutely LOVE it!!! We go through A LOT of ice and this little thing keeps up! We always use filtered water and it runs and operates perfectly.

Love my bougie ice maker. I feel so fancy every time I make a drink with the ice nuggets.

This has got to be my absolute favorite ice maker ever! I've gone through many ice makers and just couldn't get what I wanted. It was either too slow or kept running out of water or way too big and hard to refill. This on the other hand the water is easy to refill the one at best buy comes with the side tank which is great! The tank comes out easy, has a twist cap with pressure release for when putting back on. The maker has an optional opal water filter that goes directly in the tank itself so easy to get to. And now for the best part, it makes the good ice like what you can get at Sonics or certain gas stations. My wife and parents loves it. It rarely stays full cause it gets used so much and refills pretty fast I rarely see it empty. I highly recommend this.
