    Ive had my Nugget for 9 months and im obsessed! No issues whatsoever and we have nice, frozen, chewable, perfect ice cubes at all times of the day. Theres an app that pairs with the nugget so you can set the time you want the machine to turn on and off daily. Im obsessed!

    That’s atleast what my girl said. Set up instructions were a little unclear to me. Understood the basics from the manual, but would be nice to have an official set up video. Found a random guy set up video, but he even ran into some problems. Maintaining/cleaning is excessive to me, atleast for this price. Recommends sanitizing, rinsing and draining 4 times per week and to use distilled water. Seems like a lot of wasted water and time to do that many times for ice. Other than that, it does make great ice and has been going strong for a week now.

    Ice is high quality and abundant. Only draw back is the unit keeps asking to be sanitized after we have only used for less than a month and already have sanitized it twice.

    This is very loud, in my experience, and feels like there's not much ice, well, as a person who really likes these pebble ice. Love the ice though. When first setting it up and reading all the directions, this item seems to be a high maintenance ice maker and just going to make me frustrated overtime. Overall, without all the other issues, the ice is pretty great, but would not recommend this.

    We have been looking for an ice machine for about a year. After all of our research we decided to get the ge opal. I will say it has exceeded our expectations and is definitely worth the price of the machine for the amount of ice we go through on a daily basis.

      This icemaker is designed to help you enjoy the freshest ice thanks to a batch-based ice system that filters and recirculates water to continually create new, fresh ice. We're glad to hear the Opal is serving you well, and we're confident it'll continue to do so. GE_Appliances

    Bought this for my wife for Christmas. She's always wanted a nugget ice maker. This one is awesome and well built. Loads of capacity and makes ice fast. Cleaning process isn't too hard and keeps ice nice and fresh tasting. We love the light and the extra storage tank is super easy to fill. The magnetically attached scoop holder and scoop can be placed anywhere on the side of the unit. Love this thing!

    Dont use the filter. Like a dummy, I tried even though the lable has every thing known to human kind to be toxic. It made the water taste horrible. It works fine without it. Other wise I like the ice it makes.

    Ice? More like Slush!

    This is my 3rd GE Profile. Thank the heavens for the geek squad protection plans because i havent had one of these last over 3 years. That being said, they are better than the other ice makers on the market. I love ice, much like Sven, ice is my life. However, this new model produces more slush than ice. Its a difficult balance to have “soft” ice but also not have it instantly melt when you pour a drink. Last models have done a great job, but this one is just bad. If you pour a room temp drink into the “ice”, it nearly melts everything instanlty so you are left with a watered down drink. I know have to ensure i plan drinks well in advance so I get the satisfaction of a super cold drink that is still flavorful.

      We want to help you with your Opal ice maker. If the ice nuggets are all slushy, even the ones at the top of the ice bin, the Opal may need to be cleaned. Water quality is very important to the function and required maintenance of your ice maker. Minerals from your water can build up in the Opal over time, which would then need to be cleaned. We recommend using distilled water in your Opal. Even bottled water can have high mineral content. If the ice maker continues to make soft, slushy ice or has never made good ice, contact Opal Support at myopalservice.com or call 1-866-907-6718, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM, EST.

    Ice is great, I like that I can use filtered water in it. Maintaining it is a bit annoying, have to take it to the sink drain it and run vinegar through it for a while to get it back running well.

      While the Opal only requires the use of potable water, using distilled water in the machine will decrease the frequency of required cleanings. When using distilled water, we recommend sanitizing the unit once a month. Descaling may not be required at all when using distilled water, as you most likely will not need to remove mineral deposits. GE_Appliances

    Delivers exactly what it advertises. Good, crunchy ice pellets. Great for all sorts of drinks. The kids are making "dirty sodas" and parents are using it daily for iced coffee. The side container is helpful, because it does go through water quickly. Not sure I'd pay full price, but with significant a Black Friday sale, the value was much better.
