Verified Purchase

Good Deal

Ice maker is a little bigger than I expected but works good & the ice it makes is perfect.

Excellent Ice Maker

We purchased our GE Profile Opal almost 6 years ago. We have had NO problems! We use distilled water and clean regularly. I love the nugget ice!

Very poor quality! I went through defective 3 Opal Ice Machines purchased from GE before finally giving up. The pumps are poorly designed and constructed and either quit or screech forever and then quit. I DO NOT recommend this machine at all!

Great ice

This is our first GE ice maker.it's first gen but it's still a lot nicer than the first two off brands we purchased. The ice is a lot nicer in size texture and seems to stay a lot longer without melting

We are glad to hear that you are enjoying your new Opal Icemaker. We hope you enjoy the convenience of having that famous nugget ice anytime you want. This new Opal will be sure to keep up with all the cold drinks you make this summer!

3rd time not a charm

I have owned 3 of these and they all died.Thank goodness I purchased the extended warranty otherwise I would just be angry. Look elsewhere for a countertop icemaker.

We’d like to assist with the issues you’re having with the Opal. Regarding the cleaning notification, we recommend making sure the full cleaning process described in the manual has been performed; cleaning information is available starting on page 7 of the manual, linked here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--9_JHdteK--/248fcfa1db27d93cf26d2d04dad1f2db57a3f5f1.pdf If that doesn’t help with the cleaning notification, and to address the Add Water message, we recommend disconnecting the Opal from power for 3 to 4 hours before reconnecting, to reset it. That resetting process may help with the issue with ice not being produced as well, and we have additional tips for the issue with lack of ice in this article: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=39628 We’ll also be reaching out over email to discuss this matter with you further. Please respond at your earliest convenience, so we can help with reaching a solution.

Garbage ice maker

Ice maker broke after 4 months. Good thing I bought the Allstate protection plan. Oh, wait this plan is also garbage. What a headache. This is the biggest headache ever. GARBAGE. Nice ice

Love my Opal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the pellet ice so my husband bought me this for Christmas even though my GE refrigerator has an ice maker.

Don't buy

Really wanted this to work but after trying 3 different times gave up. Each time of going through the whole process of unpacking and setting up machine would start making ice and then start making a horrible screeching noise. Slow to make ice.
