    The best ice maker available. Great addition for those who like nugget ice. There is no other tabletop ice maker available that does a better job

    We did a ton of research before buying this specific ice machine. So far we love it. It’s been pretty easy to maintain and always makes great ice.

    This ice maker has been really doing a great job. One thing I can suggest is having it close to a sink so you can refill the side tank easily. The other thing I didn't know is how often it is recommended for the cleaning cycle. I know it's a bit spendy for most people but if you feel like splurging on a ice maker this is the one!

    The ice is good, but it constantly has issues with grinding noise. This is our second as the first quit working and was replaced with this unit. I like our ice when it’s working properly, but I doubt I would buy this again.

    Ice machine review

    The product is great and the ice comes out fast/delicious. My only complaint is unless there is water under the container it won’t pull from reserve directly. So even if the side tank is full I still have to put water in the machine. Just and extra step and can be annoying if you forget.

    Broken Again!

    I owned the first generation, 1.0, which kept breaking but made incredible ice. This new 2.0 also made ice fast and plenty of it, but it only lasted four months until the wailing from the machine started again. This machine seemed more robust in its build, but the engineers needed to fix the part that pushed the ice out. That's whats making the noise. I am so disappointed, as it works great when it works!

    This icemaker was purchased after a smaller countertop one died. I've had this a week and LOVE it. It makes the best ice and the water take is a game changer. I like that there is an app to remind me to clean it. The tray opens and tilts out, so you can hold your cup and scoop your ice without worrying that the tray is going to fall. Also, the magnetic scoop holder is genius. This was more expensive than my first icemaker but well worth the investment.

    Great ice maker, if you are willing to maintain it

    This ice maker is the bomb, and does what it is supposed to do - make crunchy chewable nugget ice, like some fast food places have, so that my wife can have the ice she loves when she wants it! The capacity and production rate are more than adequate, and I cannot see using one of these WITHOUT the optional side tank accessory. You really don't want to have to pull the ice bin out and pour water in that way, especially if you use a lot of ice. Just be aware of the maintenance required. I went into this knowing the maintenance requirements - weekly or so sanitize cycles, as well as monthly or so descaling cycles. If you schedule it to be off at night (say 10pm to 7am), you can squeeze several more days in between cleaning cycles. It doesn't bother me, and just ensures everything is clean, fresh and pristine. All in all recommended, but know about the cleaning requirements before you purchase.

    This is the best thing since indoor plumbing :-) I love my ice machine. This is the GOOD ice, chewable, small nuggets. A must get if you like ice in all your drinks or just like eating the ice.

    We replaced an GE Opel ice maker that worked well for 2 years. We did have to return a couple cause they weren’t making ice. The third one made ice but after we did a descale with vinegar it worked far better. Made me wonder if the others we returned would have worked after a descale.

    We love the ice it makes. We don’t like that. It doesn’t last very long before it breaks down. I checked that I would recommend people getting this, but only if you buy the warranty. We’re on our third one.

      We're glad you love the Opal's ice, and we're sorry to hear you've had issues with multiple units. If you’re currently having any issue with your Opal, we have troubleshooting available in an article on our GE Appliances website, titled “Opal Ice Maker – Troubleshooting”. That article can be viewed when you look up the title on our website and click the ‘Support’ tab. Among other steps, resetting the Opal by disconnecting it from power for three to four hours before reconnecting can often help with an issue. If you’re having an issue with your Opal that troubleshooting doesn’t help with and you have an active extended warranty, please reach out to them for assistance. If you don’t have an extended warranty and need assistance, please send us a private message via Facebook, Instagram, X, or TikTok with your contact information, complete model/serial numbers, and a description of the issue; we’ll be glad to review.

    So far after about a month, this thing is awesome. Makes ice quickly, and isn't louder than typical ice makers in a fridge. The refill tank makes it easy to refill and know when the water is getting used up, which is a huge plus! If you want the best pellet ice, this is the machine.

      We're pleased to hear how much you love your ice maker! The side tank is a great addition that helps reduce how many times you have to refill the ice machine. Thanks for allowing GE Profile to be part of your home. -Don@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    This ice maker is great. The ice tray isn’t refrigerated but as ice melts it makes new ice so there is always a tray full of ice. Couldn’t be happier with it
