Customers are saying
Customers appreciate the Opal 2.0's excellent ice quality and overall performance, frequently praising its ease of use and attractive design. However, some users find the machine noisy and require regular maintenance, including filter replacements and descaling. The water tank capacity and the need for frequent sanitization are also points of concern for some customers. While the compact size is a plus for many, others find the weight to be a significant drawback.

Big Difference in Noise Levels
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love it’s much quieter than the other model I bought before this ice maker. The descale lights shows up frequently; even after cleaning 3 days earlier? My family loves the ice nuggets!

Okay not great!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great ice nuggets. This ice machine is will cease to operate should it be plugged and operating over two days. definitely not a huge fan of the cost in regards to its operation. At this point you're better off putting money towards a refrigerator that has this option of ice.

Great Nugget Ice Maker
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We previously had the Opal 1.0 and had issues so we were kind of skeptical going with GE again. However, with this model it seemed like they addressed the issues with overheating causing the unit not to make ice. On this model there are two radiators and a fan on the back along with an removable air filter. These additions so far seem to keep the unit a lot cooler. Hopefully, we can get more than two years out of it. We love it so far. Gets ice in about 15 mins and full in about 4 hours 2-3 hours.

Best Nugget Ice Maker On Market
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this ice maker. It makes the best chewable nugget ice out there. But keep in mind it comes at a price, be prepared for routine cleaning of your machine to keep it performing at its peak. To me it’s worth the time and effort because I like to eat a lot of ice. This is my second GE Opal and I highly recommend it!

Constant Sanitized
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think this is the fourth opel ice maker I’ve had in the past three years. If it wasn’t for Best Buy’s protection plan, I’d buy something else. The last two squealed terribly bad. And now this one needs to be sanitized every five days; which seems ridiculous. I spend more time sanitizing the ice make than i do using it. I think it’s time for me to move on from this very expensive ice maker and find something of higher quality. Very disappointed in the product, extremely satisfied with Best Buy’s service.

Posted .We're sorry to hear that you've not had the best experience with your Opal Ice Maker. Descaling and sanitizing will be dependent on the hardness of your water in your area. It is recommended that these be done once a week. This is considered normal. We'll share your feedback with our team for future consideration. -Kacie@GEAppliances
