    I love this ice maker the only problem is, even if you clean it on the regular, after several months it starts to moan. The new version has a filter but you have to replace it every few months

    Absolutely love this ice machine! Soft chewable ice just like you get from Sonic! Runs pretty quiet, and keeps the ice drawer full. The side tank is so nice and has a magnet to hold it in place but removes easily to refill. The scoop with magnetic holder is nice because I can position it anywhere I want and any angle. Has an app you can use to control The unit if you’d like it. Highly recommend using mineral water in it to keep mineral deposits from forming in the lines. Makes cleaning it alot easier and less often. One of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time.

    This is our third ice maker and no. 2 from GE. Last one died from the discharge cone motor dying. The new filter should help with scale build up and it has better reminders for sanitizing and descaling. The fan in the back is bigger and louder.

    The Opal 2 ultra is an improvement over the older Opal 2. Still not overly quiet but it is on par with ice machines so buyer beware you are getting what you are paying for. The ice is slightly less dense, but this is actually nicer for people who like to chew the ice and if you don't why are you spending or thinking of spending this kind of money on a specialty ice machine. Overall, I love it and well worth the money. The cleaning schedule is a necessary evil, so if you don't want to clean it, get a different type of ice machine.

    I have only had the unit for a couple of weeks, but so far so good. The instructions to connect to wi-fi absolutely do not work and I had to call for support. Someone needs to rewrite the instructions for this.

    I LOVE this ice maker, but it stopped making ice after just 2 months. It says to "add water", but it clearly is filled with water. I'm on hold with GE now. I'm sure they will rectify the situation.

    I loved this product up until it didn’t last after only 4 months and to be honest it’s too expensive to not last. The maintenance for the product is also a lot. I’m glad I always purchase geek squad protection because it definitely came in handy this time. I returned it today with no issues and bought a less expensive version.

    Great little ice maker. I love the nugget ice. Makes ice quickly. There is regular maintenance but very easy to do and it keeps the ice tasting fresh. I always use distilled water in the ice maker. The app keeps you up on the maintenance which is convenient. I highly recommend this nugget ice maker.

    Run and buy this ice maker!! The nugget ice is the best!! We couldn't decide which ice maker to buy but im extremely happy we decided for this one. Very quiet always has ice ready. One of the best parts is we can control it with our phone so when we get home from a hot day the ice is ready to have a refreshing drink.

    Not a convenient product

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The ice is great and that's about it. The machine requires sanitizing weekly, which requires you to take the entire machine apart, move it to a sink and flush bleach thru it. And then it requires descaling once a month - every time you put the machine back together it'll throw an "Add Water" issue. The machine is overpriced and a hassle. Returning it is a nightmare as you only have 2-weeks and you better have all the boxes, Styrofoam, etc. Honestly I've never regretted purchasing something more in my life.
