Nugget ice is a cruel mistress but Opal makes it possible to have everything you need right at home. No more late night trips to sonic, or running around town looking for the beloved ice. I had the original but she quit on me, it was due to my own misgivings. The harsh water of central California could be to blame as well, but I could have tried harder. I swore when I replaced her with 2.0 that I would do everything I could to ensure a long life. Just ordered a five pack of filters and cleaning kits and the distilled water is on the way. Nugget ice is important in our house to restore peace and good function. Opal make that possible. Just treat her good and you'll hear the low hum of her pump from across the house like clock-work.Or you can even set a schedule using the app, as well as check on what stage of ice making shes in. 10 out of 10. RECOMMEND

I received this ice maker free through an amazon program for an honest review. This ice maker is great. I love the size of the ice nuggets. They aren't too hard but very crunchy & don't hurt my teeth. The machine uses alot of water. I don't use tap water only bottled water. I guess you can use the tap because there is a filter but I don't like the taste of it. I really like the wifi setting. I can start making the ice when I'm on my way home from work or upstairs through the app. Just make sure you have water in the tank or the reserve tank. The only downfall is the cleaning. Which needs to be done every week & the app will let you know it needs to be clean. That takes about 20 to 30 mins because you have to use bleach to cycle through the machine then you need to use water to cycle through the machine about 4 to 5 times to flush it out.

So far I love this nugget machine 1. Another brand failed in less than 2 weeks 2. Next brand-nuggets we're square and tray fell out 3. Friend had this one and loved it, so we bought it. Little pricier but you get what you pay for- Reasons I love it 1. Best ice nugget ever!!! 2. Side tank-Winner! You don't have to fill often 3. Ice box stats put when pulling out to scoop ice-a huge deal! 4. Timer!! Schedule your ice! I schedule every morning 7am and auto shut later-game changer-ALWAYS AVAILABLE 5. It's beautiful! 6. Always buy extended warranty Definitely will recommend

My original opal only lasted 2 years even though I took meticulous care. The pump gave out. I only wish it was easier and cost evlffective to repair them.....I hope this one does better! First impressions are great. More intuitive, great ice, and more aesthetically pleasing.

We absolutely LOVE our ice machine. It was not working for a bit and we PANICKED! No worries we figured out that the side tank was not level and all is well now (Whew). The only reason it does not get 5 STAR is due to the I swine price and the fact that it does make noises that irritate me especially after cleaning cycles. I have owned one other brand and this one is by far the BEST CHOICE! Especially with our Texas heat.

Best Ice Ever! Love the ice! Looks great on the counter. Very contemporary. Only issue is the "Squeeling" the machine makes when it's defrosting. At times it is so loud we unplug it to make it stop. When it is plugged back in and resumes making ice it's fine. Overall a great machine!

We pretty much love everything about this icemaker the only thing that would make this better is if there was an option for a water line in to feed the machine that would make this ice machine hands-down without a doubt the absolute best ice machine on the market

I was so excited to get this because my sister has one and I am the ice lover! Mine worked perfectly for about 1 week and then it stopped making ice. I couldn't figure out what the problem was and was literally getting ready to return it. My son read some comments and apparently someone else had the same issue and they unplugged it for several hours to reset everything. It's still not making ice like it was but at least it is making some.

I live everything about this ice maker. The ice is somehow the best must crunchy tasty ice nuggets available ANYWHERE! I'd give it 5 stars all the way but my app keeps telling me to clean the machine around 1x a week (so of course, I comply) but otherwise it's a dream machine for you ice pebble maniacs.. you know who you are!!

We love our ice machine. It works great and we always have ice on hand now. It recycles the ice if you don't use it but that has never been a problem for us. There is always ice in the machine in the morning and once you take some it quickly makes more.
