    Fantastic ice maker. A little slower and louder than I'd like, but man, that nugget ice is great.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    Can't believe how much I love this over priced appliance. The ice is great for beverages and making smoothies. I really helps me increase my water intake. When recipes call for cooling down blanched vegetables or eggs, I now have a full supply of ice in order to do the task.

    Yes, this thing is pricey but it gets used more than any other appliance we own. It makes ice pretty fast and when it melts it cycles it back through for more ice, which is like Sonic ice only without the highschool kid attitude. We bought a filter for it that is supposed to last 6 months, didn't make it 45 days so maybe don't get that.

    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

    Setup including cleaning process was pretty simple and straight forward. Just be aware that the supply hose from the reservoir to the actual ice maker needs some space. The product delivers exactly what it promises. The only deduction is for the noise. While not “loud” it’s noticeable. If they can solve that, this will be a five star

    I was hesitant after reading some of the reviews but I’m glad I went ahead and purchased this ice maker. It isn’t as loud as people were saying. It sounds the same as the oven running and is quieter than the dishwasher. Started making ice in 20 min and bin was full in like as hour. The price was high so I’m hoping it lasts!

    Love this ice machine a lot. It’s like having Sonic ice at home. It is important to use filtered water for the reservoir bc over time hard water build up causes it to make ice very loudly. I recommend the protection plan as I had to use it once. It is very nice to fill reservoir and come back and ice is ready all the time.

    I really like my opal 2.0. I use this daily. Hardest part was cleaning the unit. I have heard of others running into problems but i haven't had any issues. I refill my unit with water from my brita water jug. Works great.

    This ice maker is the greatest. Makes ice pretty quickly and up to 38lbs a day. I put it in bags and freeze it so there is always done in hand.

    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,
