    Excellent choice for the good ice. Purchased because built in fridge ice maker broke. Glad this choice was made over the built in. Excellent ice, quiet operation, can be monitored with app on cell phone.

    Never knew I needed this machine so much! We had a couple ice trays in the freezer that would turn into chaos whenever we had friends over, this high efficient ice maker keeps the party going! Pretty quiet for how fast it works, we upgraded to a stainless steel scooper which I highly recommend, we love that soft chewable nugget ice!

    At first it wouldnt have been 5 stars because the hose had a cut in it and water was everywhere. The whole machine was replaced and i got another brand new one within a few days. Love my ice machine. I eat ice alot and i guess companies water filter is not as clean as the water i put in my machine because it always made me sick but my ice i can eat all day.

    Amazing product that allows you to have a consistent amount of ice chips. I just wish it didn’t make as much noise for how expensive it is.

      We’re so glad you’re overall happy with your Opal, but we do hate to hear you have some concerns regarding the noise level. We do expect the Opal to make some sounds as it operates, and hard surfaces like the walls, countertops and floor may amplify the sounds. If it may be helpful, we have more information regarding what noises the unit may make on page 13 of the manual; if you’d like to view that manual, you can do so on our GE Appliances website when you look up the model number and go to the product page. We’re confident your Opal will work well for a long time to come! GE_Appliances

    Purchased this ice maker as an anniversary gift for my wife. I dont think there is anything better that i could have gotten her. She loves crushed ice from the store and this ice maker is as close as youll get. She absolutely loves it.

    This is amazing little machine and we really like it. It puts out great little pellet size ice and you can have it make ice all day turn it off overnight and get up the next morning and still have a bin full of ice. The side water reservoir is nice, too since you don't have to remove the bin to keep it filled with water. As ice melts in the bin it will drain into the internal reservoir and make more ice with it. GE did an excellent job designing this little ice machine.

    Love, love, love this ice maker!!! No issues. Looks and feels high quality. Produces ice very quickly and keeps on as you use it- just keep water going in, and it will keep putting ice out. I use spring water or better quality to keep it in good shape. The less build up in the machine. When you aren’t going to use it for 3-4 days, you have to drain it out so it doesn’t get stagnet. But that seldom happens.

    it makes ice quick, and is good, however it doesn't fill up to the top without pressing ice making again, and when it freezes up, which is often, it makes loud noises to defrost but was told by maker it is normal. works ok but not for me.

    Love it!!! I saw this product over social media for a while and I was always tempted to buy it, but thought it was a little pricey. After getting it I would say it’s totally worth the money. I have had for like 2 months now, and have used it every single day.

    This is an awesome product!! I am In love with it!!! Exceeded my expectations!! Easy to set up and use. I run it once a week and bag quart ziplocs of ice for the other days. If you lie them flat they stack nicely in the freezer and break apart easily.

    It works. A little squealy sometimes, but we keep it back in the laundry room so we don't notice it much. I think 4.28 stars would be more appropriate, but it wasn't an option.

    Absolutely worth every penny! I love my ice machine I use it nonstop! This is by far the best purchase I have made as an adult and have no regrets or buyers remorse lol. Best Buy always had sales and they price match so you can get them at an amazing price with the protection plan which I defiantly recommend by the way! And still pay less then full price if you price match other retailers. That is why Best Buy is AMAZING!
