Great buy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nugget ice maker is great. Great capacity. Good ice production speed. Quiet when running and the water capacity with the side tank is great. Need some space with side tank but overall dimensions are good. Installation is easy. Highly recommend cleaning before installing and using the sanitizer/ cleaning cycle before using to produce ice. Also for best ice results and to prolong the cleaning use bottle water. I live in central Texas so i just have big jugs of watered delivered that I use for water my water machine and now for my ice machine.

Love this ice machine! Totally recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ice machine is great, it has a huge basket and makes ice so fast! I recommend this machine to anyone who has a big family that might not have a ice machine in their fridge or who just loves always having a cool drink on hand. Great for parties as well!

Love this ice!! Awesome!!

I absolutely love my Opal 1. Eating/chewing ice is what helped me 2 years ago when I stopped smoking after 50 years! I love with the Opal ice is always available. The installation was easy/peasy (my daughter put it on the counter top) & I don't hear it running unless I'm in the kitchen & even then the sound isn't loud at all. That being said, I wish they made a smaller model as I'm a single senior citizen & while I don't need so much ice every day, it's a joy to refill my cup so easily. I'm not sure how my deep cleaning process will go, as the machine is so heavy. I might reach out to my community to see if anyone is familiar with the cleaning process. But I LOVE my Opal Ice!!

This is Amazing

I Love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my ice maker!! My amazing husband got this for me as a gift because he knows how much I love ice even though we have an ice maker on our fridge already, he wanted me to have my own at the ready. This ice maker is amazing, and is perfect in every single way!! It’s just the right size and texture and great for every day use. The only complaint I have is the sound it makes when making ice. SUPER LOUD!! Also, it’s a pretty big machine, for the amount of ice it makes, but I still love it!!

I love it :-D

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this for our daughters who love chewing on ice. Since we can’t drive to Sonic everyday, this was a nice gift. It was easy to put together and does the ib well. Only slight downside is the noise it makes. It’s not super loud or anything, but you can hear it. It’s slightly annoying to my husband but only white noise to me. Other than that, great product for the price.

Pleasing to the eye

My husband surprised me with this last week. We have been looking for an ice maker for about a year and finally pulled the trigger. The price seemed to be pretty fair. It creates a good amount of ice in a short period of time. The appearance is pleasing and seems like decent size for the type of product. The installation was a little rough. We had to call and get help setting up and was told we might haved to return it and get a different one. It ended up working. The machine is a little noisy. It sounds like the microwave is constantly running.

loud

the ice maker is perry loudand took some time to figure it out but it did make ice. the quantity was not that large. equal to a bucket of ice. so if having a party would need to make ice, freeze and make again. i personally don't think it's worth the time space or cost

We would like to help and provide some guidance. Make sure that there is a minimum 3 inches clearance on the back and sides of the unit to ensure proper airflow. More information about this can be found in your manual on page 12 at the link below. https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--vgUScZcV--/zlsfckeugpj1gbsuwrx8.pdf

Poorly Designed Tank connection.

Tank leaks at connecting tube. Tried everything to fix to no avail. I’d return it if possible.

Third and done
1 out of 5 stars review

loved it, but didn't last.

This is the 3rd GE nugget ice machine we've had. They all last about 2 years and then die. All were cleaned regularly and used daily. They are just disposable unfortunately, and they are way over priced for the life you get out of them. It would be nice if they were lower priced to match their quality or if GE would actually offer the replacement parts that are needed, ie. water pump, control board, tubing. If you could get these parts new you could repair and continue using as apposed to adding another GE appliance to the land fill.
