Makes the best nugget ice just like sonic ice. Tried other ones to only return them. This is the one to buy.

So far so good (although it’s only been a week). I can agree that this icemaker is much quieter than Frigidaire I previously purchased. That was a waste of money. The machine was super loud and broke down before a year.
We recommend descaling and sanitizing your Opal as directed in the Owner's Manual at least every 4 weeks or sooner depending on the hardness of your water. Also, it's important to clean the rear air filter every 2 months. The Owner's Manual is available online by clicking on the Features tab and scrolling to the end of the Features list. If this doesn’t resolve the issue you're having, we encourage you to send us (GE Appliances) a private message on one of our social channels (Facebook, Instagram) with your contact information, model and serial numbers, and a copy of your review. -Vikki@GEAppliances

Stopped making ice after 9 months. Unit was used in a small office space, and because of the commercial application, GE refused to honor the warranty. Best Buy Total Protection doesn't start until the GE warranty expires. Very disappointing - both in product performance, or lack thereof, and also either company standing behind the products they sell.
We're sorry to hear about your experience with your Opal ice maker and encourage you to send us (GE Appliances) a private message on one of our social channels (Facebook, Instagram) with your contact information, model and serial numbers and a copy of your review so we can research your situation.-Vikki@GEAppliances

It works amazing, and in my opinion is easy to clean. It is expensive; but if you have the funds to do so i think it’s 100% worth it!

I had such high hopes for this! Got it refurbished, so it may be a one-off, but it ran wonderfully for about 4 days, I even bought the extended tank I loved it so much! Then it wouldn't make ice. Kept saying add water. I'd drain then it would say making ice, but no ice. Then "add water again" when it was full! Avoid this is my recommendation.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It’s awesome. Got it for my wife for Mother’s Day. I recommend making space for it, it is not small. Also the sanitizer does get annoying but is refreshing to know it will want you to have clean ice.
We'd like to help you with your Opal's sanitize and descale lights being active after cleaning your unit. We recommend performing an electronic reset by unplugging the appliance for 3 to 4 hours and plug it back in.
If the issue persists after troubleshooting, please send us a private message via Facebook, Instagram, X, or TikTok with your contact information, complete model/serial numbers, and a copy of this review.
