    We wanted to love this ice maker but the amount of time it takes to sanitize, descale and maintain the unit to keep it working makes me hate it. They expect you to take it apart, fill it with vinegar, let it soak for 18 hours every single month. Not to mention the sanitizing using bleach. And to add to it, we’ve had it 4 months and it stopped working. It says “add water” even though it’s full. I’ve tried every troubleshooting article and video I can find and nothing fixed the problem.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Thank you for sharing your experience and concerns regarding the recommended descaling and sanitizing procedures needed to properly care for your Opal. The scale inhibiting filter will filter 40 gallons of water before needing to be replaced. Replacement will be approximately every 3 months, though it will depend on your usage. If the reservoir is full and you receive the "add water" message, that may be an indication that the filter needs to be replaced. 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 so we can research your situation. -Vikki@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    I love this ice maker! It's easy to clean and makes ice fast. It takes about an hour to fill the ice bucket, which is much faster than my ice maker on a different brand.

    It makes nice ice. Even with routine maintenance and using purified water it broke in 6 months. I bought the protection plan and best buy is replacing it. But this is just silly.

    We had the regular 2.0 but have two months of loud noises, we could not handle it anymore. We had the Total Best Buy Membership so we were able to return it and get the Ultra model. So much better with a metal scoop, air filter, and descale filter in the box. It is also built better than the regular model. Love it so far!

    I have had my ice maker for almost a year now and love it so much! It is so easy to clean and ensure there isn’t anything growing!! I set a timer for my daily use so I never have to remember to turn it on or off, it’s ready for and iced coffee as soon as I wake up. Couldn’t be happier with it!
