    Bought this for my wife for Christmas. She's always wanted a nugget ice maker. This one is awesome and well built. Loads of capacity and makes ice fast. Cleaning process isn't too hard and keeps ice nice and fresh tasting. We love the light and the extra storage tank is super easy to fill. The magnetically attached scoop holder and scoop can be placed anywhere on the side of the unit. Love this thing!

    Best purchase! We kept running out of ice during our family gatherings. Since we picked the GE Profile Ice Maker, there has been no more issues with running out of ice. This ice maker makes perfect size nuggets and will always be full.

    The best nugget ice maker

    This is my third one. I always buy the protection plan for this type of appliance that has water flowing through it full time. They've made a lot of improvements. This one is much quieter. My first one failed most likely because of too much hard water scale build-up and I was seeing mold in the ice. The replacement had a new feature to light up and remind me when it needs to be cleaned and descaled. I was diligent about doing that often, but it developed an internal leak. This newest one lights up to remind me to descale it and lights up more often to remind me to sanitize it. The cleaning process has a quick clean for sanitization and long clean for descaling. I've owned other countertop ice makers in the past that were terrible. This GE Opal is the best, I highly recommend it for performance but also highly recommend you don't take this home without a protection plan. Both of mine lasted just over 2 years, and with all the improvements they've made on this one, you should get the 4 year plan.

    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.

    What the actual heck

    It makes fantastic ice… but it is wildly unusable. My first machine lasted 2 weeks before it started making noises like a demon being exorcized from a shrieking cat. It is so loud I can hear it FROM DOWN THE ROAD when I’m walking my dog. It’s a wonder my neighbors never made a noise complaint. I returned it and got a new one. The new one lasted an entire month before it started doing the same thing. If I didn’t live in an apartment, I’d just buy a new fridge with a good ice maker in it. If you own a home, honestly do that. Save yourself the trouble and your hearing.

    This unit is a great ice maker. I add filtered water to enhance the "flavor" of the water. No flavor means great tasting water. The only reason I didn't give a 5 stars was because of the price.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    It is quiet, works great, makes double the ice of the last machine that i had. Looks better. Side tank holds more water for less refilling.
