No star
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m extremely disappointed with the GE Opal Ice Maker. It completely stopped working after just two and a half months of use. It no longer makes ice and constantly goes into defrost mode for no apparent reason. We’ve followed all of the troubleshooting steps recommended by the manufacturer multiple times, but nothing has fixed the issue. For a product at this price point, I expected much better reliability and performance. No star. Don’t waste your money.

I would recommend this to a friend The Good Ice Comes Home
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For years I've wanted a way to get "The Good Ice" at home and finally FINALLY we have it. I actually owned an Opal 1.0 before upgrading to this 2.0 model and it's everything I hoped for. An enormous water capacity with the extra tank. Big bin for the ice. Solid metal scoop. Even has a light for those late night ice runs. Highly recommended.

Eh
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Started making squealing noises 1 month in. Turned it off for a week and it is working ok.

Posted .We are glad to hear it is working for you now. When the Opal is in need of defrosting, it may start to squeal or squeak as ice starts to build up around the mechanisms. The defrost cycle is automatic and may take 10 to 45 minutes.
Great kitchen addition
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Functions as described. Has been able to keep up with the demands of our family. I only wish the tank was larger.

Read before purchasing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the GE Opal Icemaker expecting to enjoy great ice for all my drinks but was left disappointed and frustrated. After 2 weeks of owning this product it no longer works. I first started experience loud sqweeling from the machine which according to the owners manual is normal sounding to run a defrost cycle. Well that loud sqweeling then turned my ice maker into a jack hammer and no longer able to make ice. After running a descaling cleaner and a clean cycle the ice maker then kept telling me to add water. I followed some youtube videos to prime the pump with no luck and dug deeper to find the water float is defective. I would do more research if you are thinking about buying this product.
