    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.

    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

      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. GE_Appliances

    Ive had my Nugget for 9 months and im obsessed! No issues whatsoever and we have nice, frozen, chewable, perfect ice cubes at all times of the day. Theres an app that pairs with the nugget so you can set the time you want the machine to turn on and off daily. Im obsessed!

    Wife is absolutely in love with the machine. We both enjoy the nugget ice. This machine has been running nonstop since we plugged it in and the only time it’s been turned off is when we are, cleaning it. Found no issues with the machine works perfectly highly recommend following the maintenance and cleaning instructions and you should not have a problem with the machine

    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.

    This is very loud, in my experience, and feels like there's not much ice, well, as a person who really likes these pebble ice. Love the ice though. When first setting it up and reading all the directions, this item seems to be a high maintenance ice maker and just going to make me frustrated overtime. Overall, without all the other issues, the ice is pretty great, but would not recommend this.

    This was truly an amazing investment. It was a Christmas Gift for my wife, but as her husband, I even fell in love with this item. I never enjoyed Ice before as I do now. You make a cold Ice Coffee, people think you got it from Starbucks. The cokes taste better. It’s definitely a cool add on to our kitchen counter and adds a luxury look to it. Thanks Best Buy

    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.

    Ice is great, I like that I can use filtered water in it. Maintaining it is a bit annoying, have to take it to the sink drain it and run vinegar through it for a while to get it back running well.

      While the Opal only requires the use of potable water, using distilled water in the machine will decrease the frequency of required cleanings. When using distilled water, we recommend sanitizing the unit once a month. Descaling may not be required at all when using distilled water, as you most likely will not need to remove mineral deposits. GE_Appliances
