I have had this ice maker for about 2 weeks now and I already hosted my first gathering and it was able to keep up with my ice usage for about 12 guests... Super simple to set up and use and love the fact that I can control it with my phone! I would highly recommend this ice maker to anyone looking for one...

This is our 2nd GE ice maker. Our first one gave out after about 1 year and a half. It made noise and then there was a leak, and then it stopped making ice all together. We have had this one for about 6 months and it makes squealing noises when it is defrosting. Which is kind of annoying but the ice is delicious so we deal with the weird noise.

OMG the most amazing ice maker ever, blue tooth remote to control ice making/you can set a schedule or manually control from your phone, the ice bin stays full for days, a big plus for me, to always have ice, and te taste/crunch rated 10, even though tiny ice nuggets, ice lasts / remains frozen for days in beverages stored in yeti/ritc type flasks.

I bought this about a month ago because I was tired of buying bags of ice from the grocery store. I wasn't sure how good this icemaker really would be, but I am pleasantly surprised! It has surpassed my expectations, and I highly recommend this! The small nugget ice is wonderful. And this machine is a little workhorse! I use it daily and absolutely love it.

Makes great ice. I would consider the ice maker considerably noisy! It sits in our kitchen and I often mistake the Opal noise to my dishwasher running. Considering relocating to the utility room, which is a pain in the backside. Don't let the hose crimp at all or it will inhibit water supply. Would be nice if you could connect the Opal to a water line instead of having to repeatedly filling the water reservoir. And I am having issues connecting to wifi for app utilization.

I love the ice but the maker requires a lot of work. You have to descale and clean out the lines at least 2 times a month. If not it will make the most awful sounds, it will leak. Thankfully, we have learned how to take it apart to do a deep clean after a year and I have to say it was needed. The lines were disgusting even with us cleaning it once a month. Now we have learned it needs to be cleaned more frequently. Other than that it makes the best ice and it's connected to my phone so I can do diagnostics and even set schedules.

The device was really easy to set up and get started. Once you clean it out, you will have ice within an hour. Family has been very happy with this appliance and we would definitely recommend it. We like that it recycles the water from the melted ice so you won't fill it as often if you are not using it much. The app that you can use to monitor it isn't too difficult to setup.

My, up until now, ice maker was going to be my favorite appliance. But today it just stopped making ice. It asked for more water but had a full reservoir of water. I turned it off and on again in the hopes to recycle it. Nope. Tonight I unplugged it, removed the water reservoir, inspected the connections on the backside, plugged it in and waited. It finally gave me ice! Hoping device doesn't have a gremlin!

Love the pellet ice and not overly loud. But it seems to run all the time despite not using that much ice. Must be a fair amount of melting which means the water is used to remake ice. Not sure how much energy that requires and increased wear and tear on machine. Time will tell

I love it - was purchased for my office and love the pearl ice and it's perfect for my office. little to no cleaning on this if you use filtered water. as the holding water container empties just fill it up and your ready to go again. that easy. Kind of expensive but you get what you pay for. I've been hearing around of 3 different other cheaper machines that others have purchased and they've already stopped working and I've told them MINE is still going with no issues.
