    Very nice, but if you are bagging and freezing the ice you have to babysit it and shake and tap the bags to assure nuggets are not all stuck together. The ice make works fast and is a good ice to crunch on. I only wish the ice bin was chilled to keep the melting ice at the bottom from getting all watered down. If you are going to just keep it running full time and scoop right from it it is fine. It will self turn off if the ice reaches the top right corner and seems to stay frozen. We alway bag it so it last longer.

    Me and my husband love ice so we would usually get one those big ice bags every 2 weeks or so (depending if we had any visitors). Since it's been hot we've been running out of ice faster than usual and going to the store to get more is becoming a problem because they're usually sold out. This bad boi is pricey, but so worth it. I no longer have to go search for ice in this Cali heat and it's the perfect addition to have for my coffee bar.

    I love the small ice nuggets. The ice maker does take up a lot of counter space and can be a little loud but well worth it.

    Really great ice maker for the last 2 years. Family of 5 who uses Hydro flasks, yeti and Stanley’s constantly love love this ice. It all of a sudden stopped working. We have great luck the last 23 months. Just waiting for repair at Best Buy to give me the fix.

    My husband bought this ice maker for me because I like to eat ice. And I absolutely LOVE the ice that this machine makes! Everyone at our house is drinking icy drinks and crunching ice :) The water reservoir holds quite a bit and I was able to stockpile ice for a gathering in about a day and a half. I am excited about my ice maker and would definitely recommend this product!!

    This ice machine is amazing! Easy to clean, easy to assemble, and easy to use. I have only used filtered water to fill it with but it does not have a bad/chemical taste. It has never ran completely out on my family of four. I love it so much i bought my mom one for Christmas!

    I love Opal. This is my second unit. The first model didn't have a tank. I thought it was a silly addon. I was wrong. The tank is great. This unit is also much quieter than my previous one, but makes the same great ice. When this unit outlives itself, i'll be back at Best Buy buying another. When old model died, Best Buy had new unit in stock. I picked it up curbside wham bam home cleaning it and making ice again within 1 hour.

    I’ve been through many ice makers. This is the ultimate for ice cube snobs. The pellet ice is amazing. It keeps it frozen til the next day. I recommend using the distilled water for best taste. I couldn’t be happier with this machine. Might be pricey but you get what you pay for.

    This was a present for my husband. I thought it a bit ridiculous since we have an ice maker in our refrigerator. Well, it is a hit with everyone in the house (yes, including me). The ice somehow enhances the flavor of your drink. It doesn’t melt fast as one would think. Now to the machine itself. You literally plug it in, add water, and there it goes! It stops when the bucket is full. Scoop out what you want and push in the drawer. It senses when ice was removed and fills it right back up. We’ve created a drink bar specifically for our Opal. No complaints!

    So far this ice machine is amazing! I was one of the people that bought a Samsung fridge that has a broken ice maker. This has replaced it even better. I no longer have to care about the stupid ice makers that are built into fridges. I am going to make sure to clean it every week like the manual says so that I don't get the horrible sounds in my ice maker like people are showing. You can even schedule it to make ice right as you are getting ready for work, then make yourself a huge cup of ice for your day!
