Ice stays cold and does'nt waste water, love size and softness of ice

This ice machine is the BEST thing I've purchased in a while. I was very impressed with the quality of ice it makes. A gallon seems to go a long way. I highly recommend this product!!!

The Opal is great, makes the best nuggets to crunch on. Very convenient and easy to maintain. Makes your beverage colder. Makes ice nuggets quicker than I thought, the whole family loves Opal!

I love these ice nuggets. I thought they would melt down really quickly in a drink, but they don’t. They actually chill the drink very quickly and remain pretty solid for a long time. I use them in my thermos and it last all day.

Works well much quieter than Fridgeidare, unfortunately we bought two weeks before $120 price reduction- cannot find anyone at Sams to help me with price adjustment

The ice maker started making a loud sqealing noise after running for one day. It also started a cleaning cycle while set in the "ice" mode. The only reason I gave it 1 star was for exceptional costomer service.

OMG! Better than sonic ice! I was skeptical but it's the real deal. Makes a decent amount for a couple people. I eat ice a lot. Not that loud. Instructions could be way better but I figured it out.

I had a First Build Opal ice maker that I bought 10 years ago. It quit working in May 2025. So i decided to buy another First Build - well they are now GE. So I took a chance. I bought it 6-13-25 and it started making the same screeching noise that my 10 year old did before it died. Not even 10 days old. I am sooooo disappointed.

Loving the ice nuggets. Works quietly and has night light. Makes perfect ice nuggets, large capacity holding tank. Is about half an inch to tall to fit under countertop. Had to locate on top of a small refrigerator used for drinks. The external tank must be removed to fill with water rather than pouring water from the top, a slight inconvenience.

I was so excited to get this machine. I spend most of the day just trying to get it to make ice. Once it does, I love it. I have to side tank full of water, the reservoir full to the max line, and it will still tells me it needs water. It is random when it starts making ice. I love and hate this machine. I wouldn't purchase this once from Sam's Club. The concept is wonderful. I would try buying somewhere else.
