    This will be my second GE Opal ice maker. Loved the first one. But this one is hands down so much better. Upgrades include a metal scoop, magnetic holder fir the scoop, water filter, a filter for the cooling fan, and an illuminated reminder to sanitize the unit every 25 hours of run time. Keeps you honest on maintenance. Setup is easy. Seems like ice making has speeded up. Lesson learned from my old unit, USE DISTILLED WATER! I absolutely love this updated unit. The Wifi setup is even easier to do now. Well done GE.

    We had the regular 2.0 but have two months of loud noises, we could not handle it anymore. We had the Total Best Buy Membership so we were able to return it and get the Ultra model. So much better with a metal scoop, air filter, and descale filter in the box. It is also built better than the regular model. Love it so far!

    Love this ice maker. The only thing is that it tells me to clean it once a week. I guess it isn't a bad thing... It is just a little annoying.

    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.

    I love this ice maker! It's easy to clean and makes ice fast. It takes about an hour to fill the ice bucket, which is much faster than my ice maker on a different brand.

    Watery ice

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So for starters, the ice is a soft ice and small ice so if you’re trying to make cocktails, shaking it shatters it turned it into a watery ice, and therefore isn’t what you really want and making drinks

      We are happy to provide guidance with this Opal icemaker. The ice created by the Opal ice maker is a softer, chewable nugget ice. It is normal for the ice to start to melt when it is put into liquids, especially with liquor as it is normally kept at room temperature. Additionally, it is normal for the ice to melt and break up when shaken with a liquid, especially if the liquid is warmer than the ice. GE_Appliances
