    I have tried multiple similar products and have encountered issues with all of them. The GE... While a higher price point... Is well worth it. It is quieter, more efficient, and makes ice that is the perfect pellet size. No more stopping by the convenience store or Sonic for ice!

    Was sent unit with missing parts but I was able to get a replacement but always makes a loud screeching noise. The ice is worth it.

      Please make sure you are allowing 4" of air clearance on all sides and back of the ice maker. Also, follow the instructions in the online Owner's Manual for sanitizing and descaling your ice maker when the "Cleaning" indicator begins to flash. It is not normal for the ice maker to continuously make a loud screeching noise as you've indicated. For additional questions or concerns, please contact Opal Support by calling 1-866-907-6718.

    We love the GE OPAL Ice Makers but they tend to break after a few years. Recommed you putchase the Geek Squad 4 Year protection as you will likely need it. This one lasted two years and was just replaced with the newer model,

    This is a great ice maker. It works well for a family of 4 and if we need to stock up, we can bag it and put extra in the freezer. The only thing about this ice maker, which may be a common thing with all of them, is the grinding sound it makes while it is in ice making mode. You wouldn't notice it much if a radio or vent were on in the kitchen, but it only make the sound when it is refilling the ice bin.

    Used ofr the first time this past weekend. Pro's : makes ice quickly and with good consistency, just like getting "Sonic" ice, inexpensive compared to a full-size machine... and the unit has solid construction (not lightweight) Con's : took a few minutes to set-up and run through the initial cleaning, ice storage bin is very small, and the water reservoir needs to be refilled frequently

    We have been eyeing this product for a while but held off because of the hefty price tag. We recently bit the bullet and I am so glad we did. It makes ice super quickly and, although the product isn’t a freezer in itself, the ice keeps for a while. If you like nugget ice, this is a must-have.

    I really like my ice maker. I have only had one issue with it where I had to return it. That is loud noise that it would make when making ice. I returned it to Best Buy and bought another one. The one I currently have works amazing.

    I was very concerned with the prize of this ice machine because I’ve bought a few ice makers in the past for cheaper that went out on me but this one is so much better and worth the money I love the cleaning option on the machine and of course that it makes nugget ice yummy
