Nice to have but a pain to maintain

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It needs to refilled several times a day and flashes cleaning every 2 weeks which is time consuming. We have had it make loud noises twice now and have unplugged it and started over. It's just a big pain it the butt.

Mostly good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well made. Clear installation instructions. A little clunky - doesn’t fit under countertop. Ice nuggets are as advertised. A freezer component would help keep ice harder. Cleaning/descaling is a chore and not easy. Need a better cleaning procedure.

Not great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am on my 3rd ice maker for the typical howling noise. Now this one quits and says add water even though it is full. After research this is the other common concern. Getting ready to pack it up for return again.

We would like to help and provide some guidance. If your unit is saying to add water but has a full tank. This is a sign that the water filter for this model needs to be replaced. The compatible filter for this unit is part number P4INKFILTR. You can find it here: https://www.geappliances.com/appliance/GE-PROFILE-OPAL-NUGGET-ICE-MAKER-WATER-FILTER-ACCESSORY-P4INKFILTR. We also have an article on our website titled "Opal Ice Maker - Normal Sounds" that will identify the different noises. Please view the link below for more information. https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=35276 If this issue continues after troubleshooting, we recommend contacting our Opal Support team at 1-866-907-6718.

Great, crunchy ice! Reliable machine with proper c

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a f egg spectacular ice maker! I’ve had it for two years. I haven’t had any issues, but I set it up in its foot and let it rest with no power for 24 hours before initial startup. I think many issues are from those that inbox and power on immediately. My unit makes ice fairly quickly, and produces a good amount of ice. That means the side water needs to be filled more often. The ice is soft and crunchy if you’re an ice eater. If your looking at this, you likely are. This is also a great supplement to our fridge ice maker.

No good

The thing worked ONCE! Now, all it does is claim I need to add water, and make grinding noses. Never makes ice.

We'd like to help out with your Opal not producing ice. We first recommend performing a full descale and cleaning cycle. You can find instructions on page 7 in the manual here: https://images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--ICQ21ZKI--/dc06c26a71060819d54b8d9bf6c53eb64be9dce9.pdf.

We'd like to offer some tips that can help with maintaining your Opal and help with daily ice production. To keep your ice tasting fresh and your Opal performing properly, we recommend using distilled water when possible. This will help prevent mineral build-up inside the unit. We do recommend cleaning and descaling the unit, even if using distilled water, as it helps keep your unit in top shape, it does require less cleaning and descaling when using distilled water. You will also want to make sure that your unit has at least 4" of clearance on each side of the unit, to help the fan operate efficiently.

GE Ice Maker

Makes ice quickly and consistantly. Wish there was an easier way to clean the ice maker but overall very pleased.

Noisey Unit?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This GE Icemaker is much quieter than the lesser cost of the units. I had a good nugget icemaker previous to this one that was noisy enough to purchase this GE.

Best in Class

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ice produced is just the right size and consistency. Speed of ice production is excellent. Machine is a little loud while producing ice, but not over the top
