    I love this ice maker. It is very expensive, but worth it. The ice works well and is made quickly. We haven't had any issues with it. The ice is the type that is safe to chew which makes our kids really happy.

    We love this ice maker. Makes plenty of ice and quickly. Low noise. It does have height so to fit under a cabinet you might want to measure ahead of purchase.

    After having a cheaper countertop ice machine, this is a significant upgrade! Much quieter, and the nugget ice is identical to what you might get at a restaurant or fast food (think Sonic).

    On the plus side, this makes the best ice! But straight out of the box it made a squeaking noise, which later turned into squeal, then a scream. I sent it back before the warranty ran out and they sent me a new one. Again right out of the box it did the same thing. Then started leaking water. GE couldn’t help because the warranty already ran out on the original one. Finally ended up throwing it away. Maybe I just got a couple of lemons.

    Excellent product! Because of how hard the water is in my area, it does require frequent sanitizing and descaling. Other then that, I am real happy with this Ice Maker.

    This ice maker is a permanent part of my family that’s how good it is, we have a household of 8 and it keeps up just make sure you put water in the tank. The Ice is so good that it can turn hot coffee cold and still last in the cup.

    Makes awesome ice. Wish it had a water line hook up but its great if you dont mind filling the water container. The change filter notification showed after a week but i put filtered water in it from my fridge so i think it might be a flaw.

    I love the Opal 2.0 Ice Maker!! I always have plenty of ice when I need it. I love the fact that the ice stays frozen for the most part and the tank on the side keeps the maker filled. The more ice you use, the more ice it makes.

    This is the best tasting ice. I had another counter ice machine that made the ice taste plastic and gross. This doesn’t do that. Even with some of it melting back into and remaking ice. I wish I would have gotten it sooner. No more runs to the gas station for the good ice.
