    Ice maker works grear and meets all of our needs for daily ice. Keep it clean and it works great. Using the bluetooth controls is easy for setting up the cube maker schedules. We run make ice twice a day and it is plenty for our normal, dailly needs.

    This ice maker provides nugget ice all day. The maintenance and the setup is simple. It pairs really well with my Bartesian drink maker. I find myself drinking more water throughout the day.

    LOVE IT. The frequent descaling/cleaning is somewhat annoying but I want it to keep working well. Time will tell how long it lasts as this the concern from reading other reviews. For the cost, it better last for a LONG time. However, the ice is PERFECT.

    YOU THINK YOU KNOW LUXERY?! Well you don’t until you get this dope ice maker! Greatest purchase ever. I say that at least one a day as I’m opening the ice drawer and scooping out perfectly formed hospital like ice! I’m middle class, but this makes me feel like I could party with Jess Bezos. Everyone should buy. Worth it. I would give this 15 stars if I could!

    I REALLY hope this thing lasts because it makes exactly what you want...crunchy tiny nuggets of ice with a slightly soft and chewy center. Its only been a few weeks but it works great so far and im really hoping with regular maintenance i wont become another statistic and it will continue producing this amazing ice for many years to come.

    This was a Christmas gift for my ice loving wife - man was she surprised when she opened it. The ice quality is exactly as expected (nuggets, Sonic ice, hospital ice) - whatever name it goes by. It is much better than the "test tube" cubes made with our previous countertop ice maker. The entire family is very pleased with this purchase. Although a bit expensive, I recommend it very much!

    Makes horrible noises every single body that bought says and the customer service for replacement or warranty during the warranty is ridiculous they tell you to record it and send them a video and they will get back to you on fixing it then ask for receipt after you’ve already registered it during purchase.

      The Opal Ice Maker is a complex device that combines electrical and mechanical components. These components power on at different times during the ice making cycle. Typically, when an Opal starts making noises it is an indication that it is due for a descaling and cleaning. We always recommend using distilled water if you aren't already. We are sorry to hear you've had an issue with your Opal and would like to look into this for you. Please reach out to us via a private message on GE Appliances social media like Facebook or X and include a copy of this review, your model and serial number, address, email and phone number. Thank you! Joyce@GEAppliances GE_Appliances
