Great Product, on the pricey side
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only downside is the product is big and is slightly noisy but it makes perfect, chewable ice that no other ice maker can.

Great new model
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has major improvements from the 1 series of the 2.0. This makes ice so much faster and will run all day. The filter reminder, Descale and sanitize reminder is great. The only problem is if you have hard water you are cleaning this every week. you have to do it right or the sensor will not turn off. This is worth the buy they have made great improvements with this.

Love my nugget maker!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this unit and I absolutely love it! It was fairly easy to put together. The water tank is a bit smaller than the last model but it still works well with the size of the unit which fits perfectly on my counter.

Opal ice machine
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well, makes ice fast. Machine is extremely delicate though, needs maintenance every 2 weeks. Not for the average person who doesn’t keep up with maintenance.

GE Ice Maker
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Makes great ice! It is a little louder than I thought it would be. Holds ice for about 18 hours before it begins to melt. I do like that it continues to make ice as the ice in the drawer melts. It's a very good product!

The best on the market but buyer beware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's clearly the best on the market but that being said it's far from perfect. They claim like every other company that you only need to clean it once a month and change the filter and it will be fine... Not true... You will need to remove the top and clean the interior reservoir every 2-3 weeks or it will get moldy.

Posted .We'd like to provide some information on maintaining your Opal. We recommend only using distilled water in your Opal to help reduce the potential for mineral buildup. It is recommended that you follow the instructions in the owner’s manual for your unit regarding the schedule of running descaling and sanitizing cycles. Using vinegar in the descaling cycle can help break up the minerals as well.
It’s important to note that distilled water is different from bottled water, reverse osmosis water, filtered water, or spring water. All of these other options contain varying levels of minerals that can build up in the unit and impede optimal operation. Using distilled water reduces the frequency of descaling and cleaning. Using our scale-inhibiting filter, part P4INKSFLTR, is designed to increase the time between cleanings and reduces the solidification of scale.

GE Opal 2.0 Ultra Ice Maker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had the original GE for almost 20 years. It was time to upgrade. The newest version makes ice faster and has the large side tank that is a game changer. The cleaning feature is much easier; the magnetic scooper is a must

Could be better
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my mother. It was easy setting up and looks really nice! However every once in a while it will squeal really loud. The side water tank is easy to refill.

Posted .We'd like to help go over the sounds you are noticing with your Opal. We recommend checking out our article titled "Opal Ice Maker - Normal Sounds" on our GE Appliances website. A squeak sound can be heard when the Opal is in need of defrosting, it may start to squeak as ice starts to build up around the mechanisms. The defrost cycle is automatic and may take 10 to 45 minutes.

Great Ice Quality and Quantity
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This ice maker has been great. We keep it on 24 hours a day and it keeps a fresh supply of ice available at all times. Any ice melting goes to the bottom of the reservoir and is recycled into new ice. A fresh supply of ice is generated to replace any ice that is melted, so the ice supply is virtually always constant. The side tank makes it very easy to make sure that the ice maker never runs empty, and the system is designed so that water can be added without stopping the ice maker.

Does the job well!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wife is absolutely in love with the machine. We both enjoy the nugget ice. This machine has been running nonstop since we plugged it in and the only time it’s been turned off is when we are, cleaning it. Found no issues with the machine works perfectly highly recommend following the maintenance and cleaning instructions and you should not have a problem with the machine

Good but not great. But good enough
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I really enjoy the ice maker when it’s working perfect, but every now and then I feel like it doesn’t get water from the side tank. I think this has to do with the size of the machine and where I have it located. Make sure you have adequate space so the water lines don’t get constricted. I think that is the issue I have and then I have to put water in the tank and that will take care of it for a while. The second issue is when you open the container to get ice it always drips no matter what. This issue I have no clue on how to fix. I had seen it in other reviews but went ahead and bought it anyways I needed a more reliable ice maker. Other than that it work great there is always nice crushed ice ready for you cup. I don’t think these issues are enough for me to return it and will deal with them. Better than dealing with my crusty old ice maker I had to clean once a week.
