The initial cleaning and installation process was straightforward and easy. My unit has the optional water tank and that connected very simply it is very clean and sleek looking appliance and 20 minutes after installation I already have ice to enjoy.

Makes great ice for drinks. We use it at our Hawaii home for individual drinks and use our fridges ice maker for ice chests and blender drinks. You will need a more industrial ice maker if you currently use a lot of bagged ice or fill ice chests often.

We absolutely love our GE Nugget Ice maker. For a family of 5, 3 being teens and all their friends that flow in and out of our home, it keeps up like a champ! Quickly makes ice & keeps us stocked with a busy home. Super easy to clean, fill water in both the extra side tank and in the actual maker under the ice bin. We love our ice maker and won’t go back to using anything but! You won’t be sorry for your investment.

My friend had one and him/his family use it constantly. I decided to get one and wasted my time with two units. The first unit had a large screeching/grinding sounds (1.5 weeks after install) when the unit would first begin to make ice. The second unit would continuously cycle through making ice/defrosting but never made a nugget of ice

Everything from the unpacking instructions, to the set up and use was quick and easy. Fits great under our cabinets, is sleek and does not present as an eye sore appliance! Not super loud and the side reservoir ensure there is ice always made. If ice is a necessity in your home, you have to get one!

10/10, DO NOT RECOMMEND At first, this was a really great machine, and I was super excited about the ice. It was a very expensive ice machine, but it made the kind of ice that I was looking for. Within months, this machine turned into a nightmare. The machine itself is extremely heavy and the only way to clean it is to pick it up and physically dump out the water and cleaning product from the reservoir. I have to do this almost weekly because the machine is not refrigerated and the motor runs hot so it creates a green moldy bacteria film very rapidly in the ice bucket. I even use purified bottled water. If you do not keep the machine on and running, the ice melts and the reservoir over flow and leaks everywhere! In order for it not to do that, you have to dump out all of the water which requires you to pick up the extremely heavy machine, carry to a sink, practically hang it upside down to get all of the water out. Honestly, it’s not even worth it! For the price you pay and there’s no easy way to clean the machine or keep it from creating that moldy film. I would not recommend this for anyone!

I toyed with ordered this nugget I’ve maker for well over 6 months. Now that I have it, I wish I would have just pulled the trigger then! It makes the perfect amount of ice for two adults. I refill my cup with it constantly through out the day and it never runs out. I haven’t figured out how to move what’s in the ice bin into our freezer without it turning into one giant rock, but that is my only complaint. It does produce a small amount of noise, but we keep it in our laundry room so it doesn’t ever bother us. We have black stainless steel appliances from LG and this machine matches everything pretty spot on.

GE Profile line is unmatched! This is my 3rd profile appliance and it is by far the best ice maker on the market. Within 15 mins of filling it up with water after cleaning all the new parts for the first use, it was already dropping beautiful nuggie ice!!! The taste is the freshest and tastey ice I've ever had. After seeing the reviews of the complaints being made it was easy to see it was all user error. I already knew GE would not disappoint with the opal. I am only using bottled water and couldn't imagine ruining this beauty with tap water. The current sale price was really nice too. Thank you GE for another beautiful machine.

I bought this product to help me increase my water intake while reducing my single use water bottle purchase. This has definitely helped as I am always guaranteed a chilled beverage no matter the type of drink. I absolutely love this and it has exceeded my expectations.

The machine makes wonderful chewable ice and makes ice efficiently. The app interface does not work very cleanly and takes a while to make work. Lots of sitting time hoping the connection works successfully. Finally successful. This machine makes great ice.
