    I love how fast the ice is made. I do not like that the filter needs to be changed every 2 weeks.

    Great ice maker, if you are willing to maintain it

    This ice maker is the bomb, and does what it is supposed to do - make crunchy chewable nugget ice, like some fast food places have, so that my wife can have the ice she loves when she wants it! The capacity and production rate are more than adequate, and I cannot see using one of these WITHOUT the optional side tank accessory. You really don't want to have to pull the ice bin out and pour water in that way, especially if you use a lot of ice. Just be aware of the maintenance required. I went into this knowing the maintenance requirements - weekly or so sanitize cycles, as well as monthly or so descaling cycles. If you schedule it to be off at night (say 10pm to 7am), you can squeeze several more days in between cleaning cycles. It doesn't bother me, and just ensures everything is clean, fresh and pristine. All in all recommended, but know about the cleaning requirements before you purchase.

    It works very well. Is not to big on the counter. I do the maintenance as the lights come on, about once a week.

    This ice maker has been really doing a great job. One thing I can suggest is having it close to a sink so you can refill the side tank easily. The other thing I didn't know is how often it is recommended for the cleaning cycle. I know it's a bit spendy for most people but if you feel like splurging on a ice maker this is the one!

    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.

    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.

    So far after about a month, this thing is awesome. Makes ice quickly, and isn't louder than typical ice makers in a fridge. The refill tank makes it easy to refill and know when the water is getting used up, which is a huge plus! If you want the best pellet ice, this is the machine.

      We're pleased to hear how much you love your ice maker! The side tank is a great addition that helps reduce how many times you have to refill the ice machine. Thanks for allowing GE Profile to be part of your home. -Don@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    The product is great and the ice comes out fast/delicious. My only complaint is unless there is water under the container it won’t pull from reserve directly. So even if the side tank is full I still have to put water in the machine. Just and extra step and can be annoying if you forget.

    This is a great product. The only issue I have is the actual ice holder will fall if you don't hold it when scooping ice out. It happened to my wife and almost happened to me

    We replaced an GE Opel ice maker that worked well for 2 years. We did have to return a couple cause they weren’t making ice. The third one made ice but after we did a descale with vinegar it worked far better. Made me wonder if the others we returned would have worked after a descale.

    Works great if you do two things

    This icemaker is the best icemaker I have ever owned but you have to make sure you do two things in order for it to keep working well. 1) DO NOT USE THE FILTER. After a short period of time, it simply will not support the flow of water required by the pump for the system to work properly. 2) Instead, use filtered, purified water in the system. My daughter has a Brita filter on her kitchen tap that reduces the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) to around 150 ppm (use a tester). I took it one step further and take that water and use a countertop RO water purification system that reduces the TDS to zero (it is probably not, but my meter only reads parts per million and not lower). By using that water, and no filter installed in the icemaker, I have been using the icemaker for around three months with no issue (no descaling, no cleaning). I am planning on cleaning the icemaker every few months or so, but so far, no issues with what other reviews have said on BestBuy and online (low water alert, descale, etc.)

    This icemaker was purchased after a smaller countertop one died. I've had this a week and LOVE it. It makes the best ice and the water take is a game changer. I like that there is an app to remind me to clean it. The tray opens and tilts out, so you can hold your cup and scoop your ice without worrying that the tray is going to fall. Also, the magnetic scoop holder is genius. This was more expensive than my first icemaker but well worth the investment.

    I’m not a fan of ice, but I got it for my wife for Christmas. Now that I’ve tried it, I’m hooked and eating ice all the time! I need to find her a diffrent gift exclusively for her next year.

    I really do like it so far. But, having issue with cleaning and sanitize function weekly. I don't think that normal. I will give it 1 more week before I will have to return it.
