Pleas, don't buy!

HI, I wish I could say no stars, but this is a lot of money for a product that lasted 1 year and 3 months. Cleaned and scaled every 10days . No warranty. Please please don't buy this. I have been on hold for a total of 9 hr the last 2 days for support and still haven't gotten through.

Great little ice machine

I wasn't sure the size of the cubes were ideal until I started using the machine. They are small consistent with the size your get at fast food restaurants. However they chill your drink evenly and are crunchable. If you like crushed ice without having to crush large cubes this device is for you. What I really like is you can make filter water ice cubes at home and the taste of the cubes are not compromised by sitting in the freezer %26 developing that freezer taste. Your drinks can be pure tasting. It takes a while to produce the ice but other than filling the reservoir it's totally automatic.

Got my ice and I’m ready to go

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, what a great ice maker! The nugget oval shaped ice is my favorite type of ice to use for drinks and this ice maker that is truly beautifully designed and blends in seamlessly with my kitchen. It enhances my kitchen counter and makes me somewhat proud to have around. I love how it’s not overly bulky and is a truly compact design. It just looks so elegant in my house and I can’t stop staring at it!! I genuinely think that GE has outdone themselves with this product. I’ve been using it for my iced coffee and drinks and my dogs love to chew ice and the nugget shape makes it easy for them to play around with, so it earns some thumbs up (paws up) from them! A really interesting feature is that apparently there’s built-in WiFi with the SmartHQ app to monitor device status and schedule fresh ice. It also comes software updates that include the access voice control through Alexa and Google, which is very impressive for an ice maker. I expect these kinds of features from a laptop, not my ice maker, so this is a definite nice surprise. It also comes with a side tank which was another added bonus, and makes it easier to get ice faster and more efficiently. The only thing that I’d callout is that the packaging says that it only takes 10 minutes to make fresh made ice, but their instructional video online says it takes about 20 minutes. I would agree with the video; upon initial installment it took closer to 20 minutes, but maybe after using it longer the machine will adapt and speed up to 10 minutes! This will be perfect for keeping the drinks chilled for summer barbecues. Overall, I’d give this a 9.4/10 as it’s a phenomenal ice maker; highly recommend people to try it out.

NO. NOT WORTH THE MONEY

I was so happy to get my FIRST! Machine. It worked a while and I loved it. When it stopped no one could fix it. So I ordered another one! I knew it was going to be okay. But it lasted less time than the first one. I tried everything they recommended and finally had to give up hope. It still sits in my kitchen. I have a lot of money invested in 2 machines. I finally found another brand that is working great! Sorry about bad news. I so wanted to have the Opal. So I am sorry to say it is a waste of money.

LOVE it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was SO excited for this product and it is holding up to the hype. I have always wanted an ice maker but never pulled the trigger on one. It makes the perfect bite size nuggets (my kids love just snacking on some ice now) and the reserve tank makes it easy for a busy mom to keep up with. It is a little loud while making ice (but I can't say I've come across a quiet ice machine) and im concerned about how hard it may he to clean/sanitize in the future but so far I'm obsessed! Also a nice touch it matches my other GE appliances.

I LOVE THIS MACHINE!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been wanting an ice maker for a very long time. I've had this one for six months now and absolutely love it. It's fast, filling up the ice bin in less than an hour and makes enough for a beverage in 15 minutes. It is extremely easy to fill both the main reservoir and the reserve tank. The cleaning process is easy as well, maybe tedious, but easy. I live in an area with semi- hard water and have dealt with calcium deposits but its onlt an issue if not cleaned regularly. I am so happy with this machine!!!

Great kitchen addition

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this countertop ice maker with a side tank for a few weeks now, and it’s been a total game-changer in my kitchen. Setup was quick, and it started producing ice in under 10 minutes. The side tank is a great feature—it holds extra water, so I don’t have to refill it constantly. It makes a good amount of ice per cycle, and the bullet-shaped cubes are perfect for drinks.

Great all around machine.

Okay first off let me say that I have had a couple of different types of countertop ice makers from the small to the large. This one is the quietest one that I have ever heard. I can’t even tell it’s running. The capacity is great I can’t feel my 40 oz cup and there is still a good amount leftover. It produces very fast and it’s filled up in no time. The size is big but I like the side tank so I don’t have to worry about the amount of water because I can see clearly. I haven’t had this long but it seems easy to maintain, I like how the instructions mentions how often you could descale and clean the machine.

Wow!!!Ice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow!!! The GE Profile icemaker is a game changer in my home. We love that we can just scoop and fill our cups. We have even been making our own version of a snow cone with the ice it produces. No more ice trays to fill. It fits nicely on my counter, It doesn't take up much space, looks sleek, and blends well with the countertop. My only complaint is that the outside tank hasn't worked since we set it up. Im happy for the inside tank. I just put a bottle of spring water in, and shortly, there's ice. The double tank is a great idea. It is also cool that the setup was easy.I love how when you use ice, it automatically begins replenishing as long as there is water in the tank. If contemplating on purchasing, contemplate no more.get it ,you will not be disappointed

Great nugget ice maker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nugget ice maker is fantastic! I was worried that it would be way too big when I saw the box, but it was just packaged well. Once out of the box, it was easy to set up. Do measure the height of your counter space if you plan on keeping it below a cabinet, as my cabinets are about a 1/2 inch too short. However, with some rearranging, we were able to place it elsewhere. This has a large capacity and would be great for a large family or someone who entertains often. It’s nice to have “the good ice” on hand!
