So easy to use, so easy to clean, ice is the perfect crunch!

This is my second opal. The first one lasted about 6 years. One of the best gifts ever! Wonderful ice!

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.

I am extremely pleased with this ice maker. It produces consistently perfect ice every time, and it has proven to be well worth the investment. The included metal ice scoop, along with the convenient side attachment, is a thoughtful addition—no more searching for the scoop, as it now hangs neatly in plain view. Overall, an excellent product. All I can say is: ICE, ICE, BABY!

The best thing that I did buy in years Works perfect, always have a nice ice on my counter

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!

It works very well. Is not to big on the counter. I do the maintenance as the lights come on, about once a week.

I am on my 3rd opal ice maker. The first one stopped working one week after warranty expired, said i woukdnt own another one. I wound up buying it agsin on sale and purchased ot with the savings! Yep, barely out of one year watranty, it died! Replaced it under extended warranty and i purchased another warranty. Works great when it works, just dies after about a year. Extremely noisy!!!

Bought this ice maker in Aug 2025. Makes plenty of ice but makes a terrible growling sound when the ice maker is moving ice to the storage bin. Looking online this seems to be a common gearbox issue. I will be looking to return for repairs or hopefully replacement.

We love this small pebble ice maker. It mskes ice really fast. The water resivor is so easy to fill without making a mess. It looks great sitting on the countertop. So far do good.

I love how fast the ice is made. I do not like that the filter needs to be changed every 2 weeks.

Works good and wife loves it all that matters.machinenworks great have had no issues

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.

Works great but it’s a bit temperamental and by this is the line which pulls from the reservoir. If it’s not lying flat, it will get air locked and water will not flow to ice maker internal reservoir. Also was took by Best Buy this ice maker would make three different size ice cubes but it does not do so. Only the so called sonic ice.

GE seems to have finally rethought this product. It is louder than previous models but so far their changes have been good.

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

Best ice machine, I’m so glad I upgraded because it’s very worth it! Easy to set up and use and especially CLEAN!!!!

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.

This is our 3rd or fourth one and the auger is a continual problem. It makes a horrible screeching noise. For the price this is disappointing. You would think GE works do something about this. We will be returning and getting a whole different Ice maker and brand. So unfortunate because we believe this makes the best ice nuggets. We may be wrong though.

Couldn't be happier. Makes Ice fast and the quality is excellent. I've got 5 kids and we go through Ice fast... I think we've doubled our water intake because of this ice machine.
