[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cleaning cycle works well. Unfortunately it is quite loud, but you can turn it off whenever you need to. The nugget ice is really nice and works well for drinks. The machine is extremely large especially with the water tank add on and takes up a lot of counter space, but is a nice addition to the kitchen if you like nugget ice! So far we have not had any build up in the machine, and we have moderately hard water.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the GE Opal ice maker for a few weeks now, and it’s quickly become a staple in my house. The crunchy ice it produces is fantastic- crunchy cubes that rival that of Sonic’s offering. One of the best things is how fast it gets started; ice begins coming out at around the 20-25 minute mark. Once this happens, you can clearly hear the ice being produced and extruded- it is a squeaking sound of sorts. The machine is still quite quiet however, which is a big bonus as some ice makers can be quite noisy. I also love that the ice stays frozen overnight. I can turn it off before bed and wake up to a fully stocked ice tray in the morning, which is extremely convenient for filling up water bottles and the like in the morning. The water capacity is impressive too, especially with the included side tank. One fill of the tank lasts a day or so of heavy ice consumption, but can stretch out for a good few days assuming you don’t use all that much ice. However, there are a few downsides. The Opal does require regular cleaning and descaling, especially if you’re using it nonstop, which can be a bit of a hassle. Further, the stainless steel exterior, while sleek and elegant, tends to show smudges and fingerprints easily. Not a big deal if you wipe it down regularly, but nonetheless it can get annoying. I must also note that this is a large machine, and takes up a significant amount of counter space. Overall, the GE Opal (OPAL01GEWKT) delivers fast and high-quality ice with an elegant design, making it a great choice if you’re willing to keep up with the maintenance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ice machine is AMAZING! The set up process was super easy, cleaning portion was pretty simple also! It is so quiet!! The ice is the best! It is very heavy duty which I do not mind. Luckily I have counter space for it😆 Cannot wait to make so many yummy drinks with this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just tried my GE Opal Nugget Ice Maker (model OPAL01SRSYKT) for the first time, and I’m already loving it! Setup was incredibly simple—just plugged it in, filled the side tank with water, and it started working within minutes. The instructions were clear, and everything felt very user-friendly. After about 20 minutes, it started producing nugget ice, and wow—it’s exactly like the kind you get at Sonic or in nice hotel lobbies. Soft, chewable, and perfect for everything from iced coffee to cocktails. I didn’t realize how much I’d enjoy having this kind of ice at home until now!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this ice maker. It makes ice very quickly and the bin is large. As long as it stays on, it stays cold enough to always have fresh ice in the bin. I turned it off overnight to test it and some of it melted but not as bad as I thought it would. My main issue is that it’s somewhat loud and will turn on/off as ice melts and it makes more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recieved this nugget ice maker from influenster for an honest review I’m going to say I love it it came right on time as my fridge the ice maker does not work and I been having to buy ice every few days it gives u full ice in about 10-15 minutes. I can say this is the best I love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can’t say enough great things about this I’ve maker. It has been used non stop for the last month. The ice tastes great. Easy set up. Is a little loud at times. But overall it’s very handy and we can’t get enough of it. The side tank is a great feature and lasts for days.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ice maker is amazing! I absolutely love nugget ice, so this is a great addition to our home. The ice maker was incredibly easy to set up, and fits perfectly on the counter. After the cleaning cycle, it was good to go. It started making ice in about 10 minutes. It does make a running sound, but it’s not too loud. I have no complaints about this product! It’s wonderful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This may be my new favorite appliance. I always had to go out to get the good nugget ice but now I can have it right at home. It filled up completely in such a short amount of time. It’s not too loud either. We cleaned it before putting it together and it was very easy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a nugget ice lover, the GE Profile Nugget Ice Maker has quickly become a must-have in my kitchen. It’s sleek, compact, and produces that soft, chewable ice we all crave. The machine works fast—usually in about 20 minutes—and can make up to 24 pounds of ice a day, which is perfect for daily use or small gatherings. It’s super easy to use, with a simple display and a handy self-cleaning feature, which I really appreciate. Plus, it’s quieter than most ice makers I’ve tried, so it doesn’t disrupt the peace of my home. My only small gripe is that the ice bin fills up a little too quickly, so I find myself emptying it more often than expected. Also, while it’s worth the investment, it’s not the cheapest option out there. Overall, this ice maker is a solid, reliable choice for anyone who loves nugget ice. It’s fast, efficient, and looks great on the counter!
