Makes great nugget ice. A little slow but what you would expect from a countertop ice maker. As written in other reviews, I haven’t been able to connect to WiFi. The WiFi symbol appeared at first then vanished. I tried unplugging to reset in hopes of a reappearance. Didn’t work. Unit is relatively quiet and seems to perform well so far.

Very Quiet so far! Last machine (not GE brand) sounded like a steam engine, and loudly shot nugget ice out with a bang ! Previous machine was less than 6 months old, but would have been cost prohibitive to ship back for repairs. Got smart and purchased a product protection plan this time (5 year)

Bought the product for my husband because he’s one of those that has to have tons of ice with all his drinks (even if his drink is already cold). He absolutely loves it. He loves the ice size and is a complete fan now. Now my refrigerator ice-maker won’t have to struggle keeping up with supply and demand from my husband’s obsession with ice.

This ice maker is a fantastic addition to our kitchen. The ice is perfect for any beverage (water, soda, iced coffee, cocktails, etc.) or even just chewing. The cleaning is fairly simple, but we do use filtered water for cleaning and filling. I imagine if you use tap water, it may have more build up over time. This is an expensive product, but we don't have any regrets purchasing it.

My Opal 1.0 was on its very last leg after almost two years so I decided to upgrade to the 2.0 I hoped would have less problems. Boy was I wrong, as soon as I threw the massive box away it started screeching so loud my toddlers complain. I’ll have to unplug it if anyone comes over as it’s absolutely embarrassing and loud enough you can barely talk over. GE was absolutely zero help when I opened a case within 30 days of purchase. Starting to wonder if picking up a bag or two a week of nugget ice would be easier at this point. I absolutely love the ice, but this ice maker is a very expensive piece of garbage.

I did not know that you could keep the ice maker going around the clock. I thought it was just for special occasions. We have not stopped it from making ice for two weeks since we bought it. The noise complaints by others are unwarranted. It is not very noisy at all.

At first I thought I had to send it back but reading everyone’s tips and reviews, I had to wait a few days until it reached its full potential. Now it Makes soo much ice to the point where I don’t know where to put it all! Makes the best ice in terms of size and ease. I also enjoy the Bluetooth connectivity so that I can make ice just by the reach of my phone and also put it on an ice making schedule so I don’t always have to worry whether it’s making enough ice for me throughout the day/night. Great product that I use daily!

Easy to set up. Easy to clean. I love the function of being connected to your phones to receive notifications when needed cleaning. Probably the best function from this product. Highly recommend to those who need an ice machine for their apartments. Small enough to fit on the counter without being bulky or taking up too much space.

In less than 8 months the Opal Nugget maker stopped making ice and would go from defrost mode to make ice mode and back and forth. Refunds are only given if the machine stops working after 60 days. One year warranty only covers you for a used refurbished replacement. No thanks.

I love the GE Profile Opal Ice machine so far, we are using it in an office and it has produced plenty of ice for our needs. I will say that it is very important to use filtered water. The first few days I used non-filtered and you could see a difference and the machine was louder and did not run as efficiently.
