[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!

[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.

[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!!!

[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.] I got this ice maker at the perfect time as my fridge stopped making ice a few weeks ago and I was not ready to have it repaired yet. This ice maker was large, honestly probably wouldn’t recommend unless you have a ton of counter space for it, but worked amazingly. It was so quiet when it ran (quieter than my washing machine) It makes a ton of ice quickly and is easy to clean after use. I definitely have enjoyed having this and would recommend to anyone looking for a high quality ice maker for their home or business.

Having owned an earlier version of this machine, I'm pleased to say that it keeps getting better...and it was already fantastic in earlier versions. The capacity has been expanded, the texture of the ice is "chewy ice" with the perfect density. For people with sensitive teeth who still like to chew ice, this ice maker is ideal. We use water from our water machine, making maintenance very easy as no build-up of minerals happens. We have found the size of the machine perfect for our beverage station and even when it is in production, it produces a LOT of ice without making noise to distract or interrupt conversations, reading, etc. We don't even notice it's there until we want amazing ice. This is not one of the cheap versions of an ice machine that only lasts a summer. It is a high-end appliance that elevates special cocktails, sodas, and even plain water. My primary motivation for always having this ice maker is that it helps me drink all of my daily water goal.

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.

[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.] Easy set up, fits perfectly on kitchen counter, does not take up too much space, ice is great and one batch will make enough for several drinks and once ice bin is set back in place it continues to make more. I just leave it on continuously. Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it! I was worried on the size when the box arrived but once I got it out it was perfect! Easy to set up and get to start producing ice. The directions are clear and easy to follow. Quickest little ice machine. I absolutely love the little nugget ice! Would 100% recommend this to anyone who loves the good ice.
