We did out research for about 4 months on ice makers and so glad we went with the opal. Besides the beautiful color that looks amazing on our kitchen counter, it’s perfect ice! The best part about this is: makes ice quickly, if you connect it to your phone you can turn it on from your phone, any ice that melts that water just gets reused. We love it and highly recommend it!

This is one of the coolest ideas to come along in a long time. We use nearly a full tub of ice daily and love the soft chewy ice. We just wish we had bought it sooner. Haven't needed to go to Sonic since we bought it. We nearly bought the previous model, but we're much happier with the updated Opal 2.0 model.

I am very pleased with this Ice Maker. The size of the unit is small enough to be not be cumbersome, but makes a good amount of ice daily. It has a sleek design, so it looks simple and unassuming. The size and softness of the ice is perfect for all types of drinks- I especially enjoy it with soda, iced tea, and making smoothies.

This icemaker looks sharp and delivers sonic-type (pellet or nugget) ice as advertised. It makes ice quickly and is reasonable quiet while doing so. While the ice quality is better than most refrigerator/freezers’ produce, it is not up to the standards set by Sonic of Scotsman. Having said that, it is a fraction of the price of the Scotsman and fits nicely on the counter.

No tank came with mine, and I need the tank for my apartment, so I’m waiting for them to send one to me, so I can’t tell you how well it makes ice… I’m just trying to get my prob fixed faster, I’ll do another review if they send the rest of my order.

I love the ice however the motor is loud and occasionally a fan squeaks when running. This seems to be a common issue and I noticed it after plugging it in for the first time. It doesn’t interfere with the ice but at this price point I was expecting a better quality.

Several friends have the Opal Nugget Ice Maker & I could not get enough. I wanted one for my RV but it needed to be free of a water line for travel. Opal fit the bill. I removed my old RV fridge, bought a dorm fridge & built a shelf to hold the Opal. When she arrived she fit like a glove. Incredibly happy with this purchase!

Don’t give me diamonds, give me “ice” of a different kind - my GE Profile nugget ice machine! Love the small, chewable size. Fits nicely in all shapes of glasses. Perfect for entertaining. I’ll never send out for bags of ice again. Never have to worry about stale refrigerator ice. LOVE IT!

Only owned for a few days but so far I am very pleased. Soft small pellet ice just as expected. My only disappointment was that once the drawer is full of ice it doesn't continue to cool or keep ice frozen. Unit shuts down and ice slowly melts. This may be an energy saving thing, but I just wish it would keep that ice frozen until used then make more as needed. Otherwise I am thoroughly enjoying this ice maker. It is mostly what I hoped it would be and highly recommend if you are looking for a soft, small pellet ice machine.

I bought this for the wife for Christmas because she craved it when she was pregnant with our children. Sixteen year down the road, they now make them for the counter top! There has not been a day where we have not used the icemaker. Yes, it does hum, but that is to be expected from a refrigeration device, but not annoyingly. The descaling process is not difficult, but it is tedious. Despite that, I am still giving this 5 stars.
