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.

    I wish I ould give 5 starts because I've absolutely loved previous Opal's I've had...but I have had immediate mechanical issues now with two back to back received units. I hope it's not an indication of a persistent production issue. I will have to return this latest one I just unpacked and set up. Darn.

    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.

    A friend of ours had this on their counter and my wife wanted one. We bought it and it’s become staple in our day to day. I use the ice for my iced coffee in the morning. Cleaning is not hard.

    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

    1 month review. This machine is great l. We live full time in an rv and going after ice all the time sucks. The scale inhubitor is great with a lot of parks having well water. The holding area is somewhat insulated so does well retaining ice. Also it doesnt drip all over the place when you pull the drawer out to get ice.
