Best Ice Maker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great ice maker! I have a smaller ice maker in my basement but this one i have in my kitchen. It makes ice so much quicker and i love the size of small chunks it makes. Its a little loud at times but not always. Definitely recommend this item.

Ready for a Cold Drink!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love the small nugget ice! The machine makes ice quickly! It is not quiet but not annoyingly loud either. It is great that it has the side water tank as you don’t have to pull the ice tray out to fill the water reservoir. Quite simple to use!

Does the Job at a $$$
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very expensive and quite heavy to move around the counter. If you like nugget ice this will fit the bill. I am using Primo bottled water out of a machine (RO), so hopefully the required maintenance will not be as gruesome as others have noted. I do like iced coffee in the warm months and nugget ice is not appropriate. Melts instantly. Only been used about a dozen times, but so far so good. I would reconsider spending the $$$.

Great ice!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great ice. We've owned three of them. My only complaint is they only last a couple of years before they need to be replaced.

Opal Icemaker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device works good, but it will show to add water when the side tank is full. I’ve had other older models and they all have had this same problem. I was hoping by upgrading, that this problem would be resolved, but it’s not. If it wasn’t for that issue, it would be a 5 star rating.

Awesome addition
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love it so far. Many talked about the noise it makes, but it really isn't all that loud. With anything else, you get used to it. We use it all day, everyday.

Great ice, but premium price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, this has been a wonderful addition to my home. The ice is made quickly, easily, and is great quality. Main drawbacks for me are cost and some concerns on longevity.

Customer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's been a fantastic purchase! We were on vacation in Santa Rosa Beach Florida. We had sixteen people staying at the rental house. The ice maker in the refrigerator was terrible. We ran out and bought the Opal 2.0 Ultra. It worked like a champ out of the box and it is being used in our kitchen right now. Great product!

The best on the market but buyer beware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's clearly the best on the market but that being said it's far from perfect. They claim like every other company that you only need to clean it once a month and change the filter and it will be fine... Not true... You will need to remove the top and clean the interior reservoir every 2-3 weeks or it will get moldy.

Posted .We'd like to provide some information on maintaining your Opal. We recommend only using distilled water in your Opal to help reduce the potential for mineral buildup. It is recommended that you follow the instructions in the owner’s manual for your unit regarding the schedule of running descaling and sanitizing cycles. Using vinegar in the descaling cycle can help break up the minerals as well.
It’s important to note that distilled water is different from bottled water, reverse osmosis water, filtered water, or spring water. All of these other options contain varying levels of minerals that can build up in the unit and impede optimal operation. Using distilled water reduces the frequency of descaling and cleaning. Using our scale-inhibiting filter, part P4INKSFLTR, is designed to increase the time between cleanings and reduces the solidification of scale.

Nugget Ice
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The GE Profile Opal 2.0 Ultra Nugget Ice Maker works well and produces nugget ice in a reasonable time frame. The key is to start the ice maker about an hour before to allow for production.

Must have appliance in our house
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of our basic must have appliances now. No need for freezer icemaker esp thru the door which always has problems. Also that you don't have to collect and move the ice out like other portable ice makers. Had first model for 2 1_/2 years. Replaced after first one died Be sure to buy B Buy warranty.
