I bought this for my mother. It was easy setting up and looks really nice! However every once in a while it will squeal really loud. The side water tank is easy to refill.
We'd like to help go over the sounds you are noticing with your Opal. We recommend checking out our article titled "Opal Ice Maker - Normal Sounds" on our GE Appliances website. A squeak sound can be heard when the Opal is in need of defrosting, it may start to squeak as ice starts to build up around the mechanisms. The defrost cycle is automatic and may take 10 to 45 minutes.

Great machine! Most annoying part is the upkeep and cleaning, but worth it for that good nugget ice!

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.
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.

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.

Love it! The wife and kids are huge fans of the chick fil a ice and now we have it at the house. The side tank is a huge help. It pumps out ice quick. Looks good too

So I really enjoy the ice maker when it’s working perfect, but every now and then I feel like it doesn’t get water from the side tank. I think this has to do with the size of the machine and where I have it located. Make sure you have adequate space so the water lines don’t get constricted. I think that is the issue I have and then I have to put water in the tank and that will take care of it for a while. The second issue is when you open the container to get ice it always drips no matter what. This issue I have no clue on how to fix. I had seen it in other reviews but went ahead and bought it anyways I needed a more reliable ice maker. Other than that it work great there is always nice crushed ice ready for you cup. I don’t think these issues are enough for me to return it and will deal with them. Better than dealing with my crusty old ice maker I had to clean once a week.

Makes great ice! It is a little louder than I thought it would be. Holds ice for about 18 hours before it begins to melt. I do like that it continues to make ice as the ice in the drawer melts. It's a very good product!

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

I’m very happy with this purchase. The product works exactly as described and has been reliable since day one. Setup was quick and straightforward, and the build quality feels solid. It performs consistently and does what it’s supposed to without any issues. Overall, this has been a great addition and I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering it. Excellent value for the price.
I would recommend this to a friend

2nd 1 i purchased 1st one failed by my own fault , didnt descale as much as i should have , great ice maker just what the wife ordered. it does require to be maintained and decaled with a new filter once a month. especially if you have hard water, but even with filter or bottled water descaling is required

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.

Works well, makes ice fast. Machine is extremely delicate though, needs maintenance every 2 weeks. Not for the average person who doesn’t keep up with maintenance.
If you want a counter ice machine, this is the one

Delivers exactly what it advertises. Good, crunchy ice pellets. Great for all sorts of drinks. The kids are making "dirty sodas" and parents are using it daily for iced coffee. The side container is helpful, because it does go through water quickly.
Not sure I'd pay full price, but with significant a Black Friday sale, the value was much better.
