Happy with product!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ice is high quality and abundant. Only draw back is the unit keeps asking to be sanitized after we have only used for less than a month and already have sanitized it twice.
I would recommend this to a friend Ice? More like Slush!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 3rd GE Profile. Thank the heavens for the geek squad protection plans because i havent had one of these last over 3 years. That being said, they are better than the other ice makers on the market. I love ice, much like Sven, ice is my life. However, this new model produces more slush than ice. Its a difficult balance to have “soft” ice but also not have it instantly melt when you pour a drink. Last models have done a great job, but this one is just bad. If you pour a room temp drink into the “ice”, it nearly melts everything instanlty so you are left with a watered down drink. I know have to ensure i plan drinks well in advance so I get the satisfaction of a super cold drink that is still flavorful.

Posted .We want to help you with your Opal ice maker. If the ice nuggets are all slushy, even the ones at the top of the ice bin, the Opal may need to be cleaned. Water quality is very important to the function and required maintenance of your ice maker. Minerals from your water can build up in the Opal over time, which would then need to be cleaned. We recommend using distilled water in your Opal. Even bottled water can have high mineral content. If the ice maker continues to make soft, slushy ice or has never made good ice, contact Opal Support at myopalservice.com or call 1-866-907-6718, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM, EST.

GE Opal 2.0 Ultra Ice Maker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had the original GE for almost 20 years. It was time to upgrade. The newest version makes ice faster and has the large side tank that is a game changer. The cleaning feature is much easier; the magnetic scooper is a must

Great Ice Quality and Quantity
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This ice maker has been great. We keep it on 24 hours a day and it keeps a fresh supply of ice available at all times. Any ice melting goes to the bottom of the reservoir and is recycled into new ice. A fresh supply of ice is generated to replace any ice that is melted, so the ice supply is virtually always constant. The side tank makes it very easy to make sure that the ice maker never runs empty, and the system is designed so that water can be added without stopping the ice maker.

Posted .This icemaker is designed to help you enjoy the freshest ice thanks to a batch-based ice system that filters and recirculates water to continually create new, fresh ice. We're glad to hear the Opal is serving you well, and we're confident it'll continue to do so.

We both enjoy the nugget ice. This machine has been running nonstop since we plugged it in and the only time it’s been turned off is when we are, cleaning it.

Don't use the filter
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dont use the filter. Like a dummy, I tried even though the lable has every thing known to human kind to be toxic. It made the water taste horrible. It works fine without it. Other wise I like the ice it makes.

Loud
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is very loud, in my experience, and feels like there's not much ice, well, as a person who really likes these pebble ice. Love the ice though. When first setting it up and reading all the directions, this item seems to be a high maintenance ice maker and just going to make me frustrated overtime. Overall, without all the other issues, the ice is pretty great, but would not recommend this.

Ice Machine
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ice is great, I like that I can use filtered water in it. Maintaining it is a bit annoying, have to take it to the sink drain it and run vinegar through it for a while to get it back running well.

Posted .While the Opal only requires the use of potable water, using distilled water in the machine will decrease the frequency of required cleanings. When using distilled water, we recommend sanitizing the unit once a month. Descaling may not be required at all when using distilled water, as you most likely will not need to remove mineral deposits.

Just get it!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my wife for Christmas. She's always wanted a nugget ice maker. This one is awesome and well built. Loads of capacity and makes ice fast. Cleaning process isn't too hard and keeps ice nice and fresh tasting. We love the light and the extra storage tank is super easy to fill. The magnetically attached scoop holder and scoop can be placed anywhere on the side of the unit. Love this thing!
