    I love this ice maker! It's easy to clean and makes ice fast. It takes about an hour to fill the ice bucket, which is much faster than my ice maker on a different brand.

    We wanted to love this ice maker but the amount of time it takes to sanitize, descale and maintain the unit to keep it working makes me hate it. They expect you to take it apart, fill it with vinegar, let it soak for 18 hours every single month. Not to mention the sanitizing using bleach. And to add to it, we’ve had it 4 months and it stopped working. It says “add water” even though it’s full. I’ve tried every troubleshooting article and video I can find and nothing fixed the problem.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
    • Brand response from GE Answers
      Posted .

      Thank you for sharing your experience and concerns regarding the recommended descaling and sanitizing procedures needed to properly care for your Opal. The scale inhibiting filter will filter 40 gallons of water before needing to be replaced. Replacement will be approximately every 3 months, though it will depend on your usage. If the reservoir is full and you receive the "add water" message, that may be an indication that the filter needs to be replaced. If this doesn't resolve the issue you're having, we encourage you to send us (GE Appliances) a private message on one of our social channels (Facebook, Instagram) with your contact information, model and serial numbers and a copy of your review so we can research your situation. -Vikki@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    Total upgrade over the original Opal. The Descaling is definitely a nice feature when it’s built in.

    The good ice is so worth it! The ice maker is incredibly fast, but can be a bit out. This model is an improvement on the previous one in terms of hard water scale issues- good to have the integrated filter.

    Even better than the first one we purchased ! This one has a hard water filter/descaler which helps so much with our hard water even though we have a water softening system with filtration. This has made the ice even better
