    Opal 2.0: A Cool Solution with a Chilly T

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Opal 2.0, an innovative ice maker, promises to be a game-changer for your home or office. At first glance, it impresses with its sleek design and the convenience of nugget ice on demand. It churns out pristine ice cubes that are perfect for cocktails, chilled beverages, or simply munching on. Initially, the Opal 2.0 operates seamlessly, delivering ice at the touch of a button. Its ease of use and minimal maintenance are its primary selling points. However, a peculiar issue begins to emerge – the need for defrosting, even after diligent cleaning. The Opal 2.0's downfall becomes evident as ice production decreases due to frost buildup within the machine. Despite meticulous care, users find themselves frequently having to defrost the unit to maintain optimal performance. This unforeseen inconvenience tarnishes the otherwise stellar experience. In conclusion, while the Opal 2.0 is undoubtedly a convenient ice maker, its persistent defrosting requirement can be a chilly frustration. Prospective buyers should consider this aspect carefully before investing in this otherwise promising appliance.

    We purchased an original opel when they were first released. The water storage takes away the hassle of refilling regularly. The ice is just like sonic ice and amazing.

    Absolutely love it! Only hiccup was at initial start getting the air out of the pump. Beyond that, it has been great! We used it to prep ice for a party so maybe 25lbs or so with zero issues.

    Thank you Sonic for all of the ice in the past that we used to buy by the bag. We have not been back to Sonic since we bought this ice maker. The ice is perfect and even though everyone loves the ice (this ice maker keeps up with our demand)

    If you like pellet ice, this is the way to go. While the price tag is a little flinchy, if you look at commercial versions of pellet ice makers, this one is a bargain. Its been running for several weeks now and it has been running like a champ.

    This is well worth the hefty price tag. I love eating ice and this is my favorite kind. I had another ice machine with the bullet ice but it seemed to melt very quickly (possibly because of the hole in the middle) leaving my drinks watered down. This never happens with this ice. It’s chills fast and melts slow.

    Great Icemaker. Very fast and great ice. Wish it had a freezer to keep ice frozen. Clings with other ice when removed for storage to freezer. So ice pick is needed when taken from your freezer.

    Loving this. We call it Sonic Ice. WIFI setup is clunky and slow but works fine. Mostly you set it and forget it so not a real issue. The upgraded filter we bought makes it so it doesn't circulate ice from the side tank, and the ice bucket leaks a lot. Otherwise great.

    We purchased this machine August 5, 2023. We had to replace it in January 2024 under warranty for the horrific screeching noise. Now, August 28, 2024, it has gone out again with a different issue. Because it is out of warranty, it’s not replaceable. We used distilled water only, as well. Absolutely not worth the money. There are posts all over the internet about this. It’s great until it’s not. And it is a product that just does not last.

      Thanks for sharing your concerns as they are valued and welcome as we continually strive to improve the products and services we offer. We do have a couple of tips to share. Even when using distilled water in your Opal, it is essential you follow the instructions in the online Owner's Manual to descale and sanitize the ice maker on a regular basis. We strongly encourage you to provide a minimum of 3" of air clearance on all sides as well as the back of the unit and to periodically, use a handheld vacuum or an attachment on your vacuum cleaner to clean the vents on the sides or back of the unit. We understand your disappointment and hope we have the chance to restore your faith in our brand. GE_Appliances
