The Most Popular Appliance in Our Kitchen!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this Opal 2.0 Ultra Ice Maker as a gift for our son, after owning and being very pleased with the same ice maker for both our permanent residence and our second home. So, this is the third Opal 2.0 Ultra Ice machine we have purchased. To be sure, the scale inhibiting filter will need to be replaced every month or so, and proper sanitization and cleaning is simply a fact of life with these machines. We always use tap water to make ice. We make sure to clean and sanitize the unit and replace the filter on a monthly basis. I went ahead and bought the 4 year extended maintenance plan offered by BestBuy for each of the machines..."just in case", but have never had to use that service. Bottom line is that this Opal 2.0 Ultra Ice Machine is probably the most used appliance in our kitchen and is definitely the most popular appliance with our guests...All of our visiting friends have LOVED it! Go ahead and buy one, you (and your friends) won't regret it!

Opal 2.0 Ultra
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the ice maker, it works great! The only reason for giving 4 star in place of 5 is because I went round and round (over 30 mins) with the silly call center while trying to get in contact with my local store. (And they still didn’t help me). The foreign, barely-speak-English call center is a joke and not helpful whatsoever. They just keep transferring you off to someone else. The ice maker is great though.

Best ice maker
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect ice! The machine needs to be sanitized every week, the process is easy but can seem tedious. I personally like the reminder so I know there’s not mold/bacteria build up, which was a problem I had with the smaller ice machines. Ice is made quickly!

Meh. Very loud
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ice is good, but it constantly has issues with grinding noise. This is our second as the first quit working and was replaced with this unit. I like our ice when it’s working properly, but I doubt I would buy this again.

Nice ice, but makes horrible sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My family loves the ice from this machine, BUT it makes a really loud screeching and grinding sound. This does not happen all of the time, but fairly often. We returned the first unit we purchased and got a second one. The second one makes the exact same sound. We previously had an older model of this unit, and it quit making ice after a couple of years.

Posted .We are glad to hear you, and your family are loving the nugget ice. We recommend making sure you are using distilled water and be sure to clean and descale your icemaker if you haven't already. If you've done both, please send us a private message via Facebook, Instagram, or X, with your contact information, complete model/serial numbers, and a description of the issue.
