I have always loved the “nugget” ice. I eat a lot of ice that I was buying by the bag from a popular fast food restaurant. I wanted a machine of my own. I bought it for myself for Christmas. I didnt know it s we Lund be so popular with everyone else though!! I highly recommend buying the ice maker with the side tank or you will be constantly having to fill the main reservoir under the ice bucket. I’m very happy with my purchase, but hope it lasts for many years.

This little ice maker has been working overtime for our household of 5, but it is trucking right along. Love the ice and glad we got the extra tank. It can be a little noisey at times, but not bad. I wish there was a way to hook it to a water line easily. Overall, very happy with the ice :)

Really impressed with this unit so far! Makes ice incredibly quick, set up is very user friendly. Ice is delicious, machine is very quiet, pretty awesome. Prob only complaint was getting connected to the WIFI was a pain, but honestly it just helps control the light or schedule if you want to have it turn off and on. Being in AZ, we will probably just have it run 24/7. Go for it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family absolutely loves 'chewy' ice. This machine make the perfect ice! It has a huge capacity and runs quiet. It's not as big as I thought it would be, which is a good thing. I would recommend this ice maker for anyone that is picky about their ice!

ADDED one month after use: Icemaker is now making a random squealing noise when producing ice. Not a fan. I recently ordered this to upgrade my other countertop nugget maker. I'm absolutely addicted to nugget ice. PROS: Large Reservoir Easy to fill Light Wi-Fi connection Easy to get ice Keeps Ice Frozen for a long time, insulated CONS: Heavy (almost 40lbs) Large (very big footprint) Small ice Reservoir Louder than I was expecting You MUST use the drip tray Overall I really like the convenience of this ice maker coupled with the quality of the brand name itself. It wasn't hard to hook up. However, it is much louder than my previous model you can definitely hear it when it is running. When the Ice Reservoir is pulled forward any water that is underneath the ice container will drip onto the ice tray. Be aware that it must be installed or you could potentially mess your countertop up.

Every time I had more than two people in the house, I found myself asking someone to bring ice. Finally, I decided to get this ice machine. Though I plan to have electricity added in my pantry this summer so I don't have to have the machine on the kitchen counter, for now we are using it on the counter. We love the ease of maintaining is and we love the ice.

This product is worth every penny! My wife and children love to eat ice and our ice maker in our fridge just couldn’t keep up. I was constantly going to Sonic to get them ice. Now they just walk over to the counter and scoop out as much as they want!! They are completely hooked. The ice never sticks together, never runs low and constantly recycles itself! It really is a great product! Do yourself a favor and BUY one! You won’t regret it!!

Set up process could be better described. Was surprised to see water come down when it was starting the ice making process. Seeing outside videos showed this was normal Also side tank can be tricky to get to work at first due to small water line bubbles. I had already experienced the good ice it makes as my brother has two of these, but did not realize the set up process was not as straight forward as I expected.

This is the loudest, squeakiest ice maker I have ever owned. The sound is akin to basketball shoes on a newly waxed floor. You know it is making ice, so if you do not have the app, no worries, you can hear it from any room in the house. I guess some ice makers are quiet and some are very loud. Very disappointing for the price. The ice is wonderful though.

We recently purchased this Opal 2.0 with the side tank. We really love it so far! The side tank allows us to make a lot more ice without having to constantly fill up the inside tank of all the other ice makers we have tried. So far the expensive price has been well worth it.
