Whennthe item works it will make ice. The problems start when it starts to make noise. This usually starts in 1 to 2 weeks of purchase. The noise songs like a very angry and loud cat being sucked into a vacuum cleaner and the noise will last for longer and longer periods of time. I took the first one back and exchanged it for a new one, which ran well for about 1 week then the noise started agian. After a great deal of research with my noise canceling headphones i found out it has to cleaned with a cleaning solution very frequently. I proceeded to clean it for several days and bought ice from the store. After multiple cleaning cycles i drained ot and turned it back on and it made ice. The noise quickly returned at a lower volume. Now it sounds the same just quieter. Now it sounds like you have a large pillow on the cat While its being pulled into the vacuum. Quieter but not soothing. My suggestion is to use the money you would spend on this to repair the freezer ice maker which i did not do. If you still need an ice maker look somewhere else unless you live in a very large house, or place the ice maker in a seperate building
We're sorry to hear you're experiencing a loud sound from your Opal, and we'd like to help. We do recommend frequent cleaning/descaling of the unit to ensure proper performance. However, we also recommend the use of only distilled water in the unit, to cut down on the mineral deposits made in the machine. You can find the full cleaning instructions starting on page 7 of the Use and Care Manual which is linked in the "Features" section of this product page.

Im very happy that i bought this Nugget Ice Machine. It makes the small nuggets like Sonic has. Its very easy to use. This is the best one that i have ever bought. I highly recommend this one. I use it everyday and the ice stays in it. You never have to empty. Just fill up the water tank.

Makes great ice super fast. The worst part about these units is the maintenance and keeping it clean, but man when you have large parties or specialty drinks there is nothing better. Our house fridge has super small ice bin, so we end up using this everyday more than most I am sure. Everyone wants one, but nto all can find it at the price we did.

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.
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.

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 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.
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.

Love it! The wife and kids are huge fans of the chick fil a ice and now we have it at the house. The side tank is a huge help. It pumps out ice quick. Looks good too

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.

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!

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

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.

Best purchase! We kept running out of ice during our family gatherings. Since we picked the GE Profile Ice Maker, there has been no more issues with running out of ice. This ice maker makes perfect size nuggets and will always be full.
