[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a great little machine! We love it! The size of the ice cubes is just right.

We want to love this ice maker so desperately as it makes great ice. However, we went through 3 units, ended up returning two of them and in the process of returning the last replacement unit. Each one eventually began making a loud squealing noise when making ice (after a few weeks of operation) with the last unit making other on and off unnatural noises (beyond the fan and compressor). The GE Profile Opal needs a 3.0 - The 2.0 just isn't cutting it terms of cost and quality unfortunately.

My wife loves this thing. The ice it makes is great. Makes ice quickly and doesn't take up a ton of counter space. It's fairly easy to clean, but time consuming. Holds enough ice and water to keep it stocked for gatherings or everyday use. Now the bad. This thing started to howl, moan, and growl about a month after owning it. It sounds like someone was killing an animal in our laundry room. We have to unplug it to make the sound stop. It'll be fine for a day or two or three and then it comes back. GE, WHY CAN'T YOU MAKE STUFF THAT WORKS ANYMORE!!! Just about every GE appliance we have has some sort of an issue. I knew going into this that we'd have issues from all the bad reviews, yet I still purchased the dang thing.

We love the ice from this machine. The first one was quieter but only lasted for 2 years. That being said, we used RO water in the first one. We have a softening system and high quality RO. Living in AZ the water is super hard even with this in place. So was agreed this one would only get distilled water. It is cumbersome to clean and descale but the quality of the ice is amazing! Hopefully this one will last longer.

This our second ice machine. as we love the nugget ice. My wife is disabled and so we have upstairs for when she struggles to get down the stairs. The machine makes these really loud whining sounds; like it's dying. Going to have to return this one and potentially buy another brands.

Badly engineered and WILL EAT Itself. I've had TWO of these OPAL 2 Disasters. I just returned the SECOND ONE and will no longer purchase GE Profile APPLIANCES ( I had an Advantium 220 speed cooker and a Profile Refrigerator - the fridge couldn't make ice either!

We love our ice maker but it makes the loudest clunks, thinks, and squeaks!! We tried having our home warranty company send contractors out to fix it, but 0 out of 5 will work on it. The warranty it comes with is a joke, especially for the price, and cleaning it is a GIANT hassle. And they suggest cleaning with bleach…seriously?! I love this thing overall, but I’m really disappointed in how GE does NOT back their products. I expect so much more from this brand.

Excellent product - friends and family all enjoy nugget ice it generates vice chunks of freezer ice. I especially like it to chill bourbon as the surface exposure of the nuggets in liquid rapidly cool down any drink. Very easy to assemble. Plenty of capacity - we never seem to run out of ice. The ice maker itself easy fits on our pantry shelf. Sleek, attractive appearance.

We love this ice maker! Don’t know why the negative reviews? We make ice in the morning and evening. By the next morning, the ice is still there…did not melt! Yes, it will clump together as it freezes. Just knock the bag of ice on a concrete surface to break up any chunks. We just hope this machine lasts a long time because it wasn’t cheap…cheaper than to get our Samsung refrigerator ice maker fixed for 2nd time!!

Been using the product for a week now and am very happy with it. I worked in manufacturing my whole life and when opening the box I pretty much new this product came from a company that cared about quality of their product, by the quality of the packaging.
