I do not recommend this product. Within 4 month we had to call in because it became extremely loud while making the ice. When you get a replacement unit it is a refurbished unit which still should be “like new”. The one they sent us had a scratch on the top and a huge dent on the back. We set it up and it was not much softer in noise than the original. Decided to keep the original unit but I would not buy it again if I knew how loud this machine is when it's making the ice.

Our original GE ice maker was the original Opal. It worked well until it didn't, making super loud noises like grinding and then squeals. To their credit, GE replaced it as it was under warranty and since the original Opal wasn't being made anymore, they sent us the Opal 2. Unfortunately, the ice is hard and not like the original Opal. The ice comes out shaped like the original Opal but it's hard like getting crushed ice out of a freezer. I don't think sending this one back would help. It's like the ice freezes way too hard, it even looks different than the original one we had.

This ice maker makes ice really fast! Had ice within 10 mins of plugging it in. It also looks really cool sitting on the country with nice ambient lighting. All of my friends have this same unit and love it! With today's refrigerators ice machines breaking constantly this was a nice addition to our home.

This was given to me as a Christmas present. While I always thought it would be nice to have a pellet ice maker, I never thought I really needed one…until now!!! The set up is super simple, and the ice is amazing. I repair appliances for a living, and a have to say that i have always hated servicing undercounter icemaker. They are a pain to maintain, and customers rarely take care of them. The Opal 2.0 is easy to maintain, and it makes ice so quickly. Love it!!!

This was a Christmas gift for my wife because she would have me go to the store to get a cup of the “good ice” often. We are both happy with our new GE Profile Opal 2.0 Ice-Maker with extra Easy-Fill Water Tank . Definitely recommend the water tank. We now don't need to waste fuel or time driving to the store for nugget ice. It was easy to set up. You can hear it running in our small kitchen however it's not annoyingly loud just a gentle hum. We purchased the water filter too which is a nice option feature. Have been using it constantly for a month now without any issues. When setting it up just follow the instructions. We live in an area with hard water so we follow the descaling recommendation of every 2-3 weeks. Working virtually from home I find that I am drinking more water more often with the good ice even though it's winter here because it's so much more refreshing with this ice. This unit is on the expensive side however it's been a good investment so far. We've had a few parties and our guests enjoy the ice too. More time is needed to know how durable it will be. After a year it would be good to give another review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not only does this appliance look great, it works great as well. This makes the perfect ice to satisfy all your drinking needs. It's easy to use and install. Comes with an excellent user guide, which provides good clear instructions for everything. It's quite attractive with the clear plastic and brushed stainless steel, it fits right in with all my other appliances. It's much quieter than expected with just barely an audible hum during operation. This is a rather large (and heavy) ice maker but it fit perfectly fine underneath my cabinets. This unit is not refrigerated, so as ice collects into the bin it will slowly melt, however the water gets recycled back into the machine and will be reused to make more ice. My only complaint is how long it takes to complete an ice making cycle, it takes literally hours for it to fill the bin with ice. Not a big issue but you definitely need to plan ahead if you're going to need ice, however if you dump the ice into a bag occasionally and freeze it you'll always have ice on-hand.

I LOVE my opal2.0. It makes perfect, soft nugget ice and it's spoiled me to a point where I no longer like to use any other ice. It's super easy to register, step up, and clean especially when it tells you exactly when it needs to be cleaned to avoid any kind of build up. The manual also comes with a ton of information on the machine.

We love it - when deciding to buy this I worried & wondered if it could keep up with how much ice my husband uses in a day. Surprisingly it keeps up with him and I each day. I fill the side tank (this is very needed unless you plan on hardline connection) each morning and dont have to worry about it until the next day. And in my insulated metal ups the ice lasts overnight !!

My wife and I received this as a Christmas present from our children. It is a great present. My wife loves it so much, if she had to choose between me or the ice maker, I think I would be out the door. She loves the small crunchy pellet sized ice, and the continuous availability of it. And I very much enjoy it, also.

I've wanted a ice machine for a long time. My hubby & kids surprised me with this one. Big Surprise !! I love it ! I've only had it going for one day but it is the soft "sonic ice" . I'm hoping it gets faster with more use as I've only used it twice and it takes way longer than 30 minutes.
