Making the “Good ice”
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ice produced is wonderful! It takes a little getting accustomed to connecting the tubes and filling with water without causing water to get onto the countertop. This is really an “operator issue” and not the ice maker. The ice produces fairly quickly and can be stored in freezer bags for later use if larger quantities are needed. We are really enjoying this premium ice maker.

Horrible Noise
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was good while it lasted. We loved having the nugget ice and the machine kept up with our needs until...it started making a horrible noise. It has been cleaned like the manual states to clean and we lost faith in keeping it plugged in when we are not home. It will be going back to Best Buy. Machine is less than two months old. I used filtered water with the optional filters. The search continues for another machine.

The little ice machine that could.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.OMG love love this ice machine. We use it several times a day. I am so happy that we finally splurged and did it for us. If you have room in your kitchen it is so convenient. I would even build a small stand for it if i needed to. Thats how much I love it.

Worth every PENNY!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made! I love Sonic Ice but hate having to buy the bags they sell because half the ice always gets ruined due to melting. I am an ice cruncher and this ice is so soft and crunchy that it is perfect for me! It makes ice very quickly and continues to make ice all day. I honestly don’t know why I didn’t buy this sooner!

The best ice maker
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s worth it. It’s the best on the market and makes the most amount of ice. Having the ice in miniature cubes makes the water or any beverage just taste better. I shut my fridge ice/water off, best choice anyone can make.

Good but not Great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this ice maker because it’s stylish and looks nice under the cabinets. It’s a great addition if you do use as much ice as I do. I do own one of this already in another house for about 4yrs and been working like a champ. However, I bought a new one for my new home and I had to return it TWICE within a month. First one started to have a strange and annoying noise like quirking while defrosting. (Returned). 2nd one start having a massive leak within 4 days. ( Returned) 3rd one is working well so far.

This is the one!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're looking for an maker that does Sonic/Wawa type small nugget ice, this is the one! It makes ice really quickly and even when powered off it will keep the ice in the maker cold at least overnight. I was skeptical about spending this type of money for an ice maker, but it has been the best purchase I have made in a long time. Absolutely reccomend it.

Ice is good, sound is so so awful
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Presently, I am dealing with a high pitched squeal that drives me crazy. At other times, it makes a extremely loud flatulent noise that had me yelling at my kid it was so gross. It was just so authentic sounding lol. It does this a lot. The ice itself is great, but this noise is just driving me crazy. Probably returning it within the next few days (when my return option expires).

Posted .Hello- We are sorry to hear you are having this issue with your Opal. We can understand your frustration and apologize for your inconvenience. The Opal Ice Maker is a complex device that combines electrical and mechanical components such as a compressor, pump, motors and fans to deliver perfect nugget ice. These components power on at different times during the ice making cycle. There will be some noise associated with the running of these components. These normal noises typically cease after 10 to 45 minutes within the ice making cycle. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls and countertops can amplify these sounds. A gurgle type sound can be heard when the refrigerant system shuts off, there may be a brief gurgle as the refrigerant stops flowing. When the unit first starts up, the gear motor can make a chugging noise. This noise should be considerably reduced after 15 to 20 minutes, once the Opal starts making ice. If you continue to have issues, please reach out to OnPoint directly by calling 1-866-907-6718, M-F 8-8 EST. If you have any questions, please reach out to us via a private mess on Facebook. We are happy to help! Joyce@Profile

SAVE YOUR MONEY DON’T BUY
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve only had this nightmare for 6 months and it’s already gone to waste. It leaks everywhere because of a faulty seal inside the machine but if I want it fixed i have to pay a couple hundred dollars. This ice machine already isn’t cheap I’m not going to pay more to have it fixed when it’s only been 6 months. Before the leak it makes a very loud squealing noise just not worth the money

cool till it wasn’t
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was cool till it started being annoying and loud asf when making ice. it made loud screeching noises and sometimes would not make ice and would act like it didn’t have no water smh. also using regular sink water would leave the machine minerallyish and so it was a pain to clean. so if i were to rebuy, try and use purified water and maybe it won’t act up. otherwise love the ice. buy the warranty- trust

Sonic ice at home!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wife has wanted one of these for 2 years, but I couldn’t justify $609 for ice. However she finally wore me down. It’s a bit noise, but works great! Only thing I would like to see changed for future versions is a refrigerated bin.
