The dentist says I shouldn't chew ice. Probably true, but we compromised and this ice maker is da bomb. Great for drinks and other ice related needs too. Easy to use and quiet. Highly recommended if you love ice just like fast food restaurants used to use, but don't go to fast food restaurants because they are also not good for you and pretty gross. I'm eating ice right now!

This is the first countertop ice maker I’ve owned so I don’t have much to compare it to, but it works great so far. The ice is perfection. The water that drips out of the bottom when you open the drawer is not ideal, but luckily the provided tray catches it all and I just tip it into the sink.

Had this product for about three weeks and after about three weeks when the machine was making ice it now has a squealing noise that it makes. It tends to make the noise when it is working on dispensing the ice nuggets into the ice bin. For the price paid for the machine it is really frustrating and disappointing to be having issues so soon with the appliance.

Quite honestly this is the best icemaker out there. Yes, this is the best ice Out there. This product is better than expected. Makes ice quickly, produces a lot of ice quickly! Small compact footprint. Runs very quietly. Much more quiet than the YouTube reviews would lead you to believe. Uses water sparingly. Love the recycle feature. Worth every penny it costs. I wish I had gotten this sooner. If you use a “thermal” (insulated) i.e. Yeti, tumbler, one tumbler of ice will last several hours. Better than the well known pellet ice you can at some fast food places. Because you don’t have to go anywhere and it’s there whenever you want it! Absolutely love this product. Thank you GE!!!!

It worked and for 2 months. Now the pump has quit pulling water out of the reservoir. They sent me a fix to reset the pump. Apparently, it will be an everyday event if we’d like it to keep making ice. Totally unacceptable for a new unit. I did speak with someone at Onpoint. It took an hour on hold. Still no answer to the email request I sent on Monday.

This thing makes amazing nugget ice. We have had one for over a year now and use it pretty much every single day. We enjoy the ice so much that we ended up getting a second one for another location in the house. The only real downside to it is the excessive noise it makes. Under normal circumstances, it makes noise that is somewhat tolerable. When it goes to defrost (seems like almost daily) it gets really loud. If you don't mind the noise it is a great machine.

Easy to install, easy to clean. Ice comes out in consistent nugget size every time. One note, while it does start making ice within about 30min, I do feel like you need to give it an hour or two before you have a full bucket of ice. Pricey item so if it’s not in your budget I wouldn’t stretch for it, it’s just ice after all. However if you can afford it, it has been such a fun treat and has made each drink more delicious.

I love this new Opal ice maker. Looks great. Compact stylish design that blends well with all the other appliances. Its quiet with just a very low hum when in operation. A few little ticks as the nuggets of ice are dispensed when they hit the plastic bin. Don't even notice it's there until you need ice. Only issue I've had is getting the controls to work on wifi/app. App brings up the ice maker and shows status, however it does not have any effect on it when you try to use any of the control functions (doesn't cycle power or light). But all in all, not a function I use that much anyway.

The ice from this product is great. However, it frequently says "add water" when the side tank is full. (The hose is level per the manual, and not kinked. May be small air bubbles in the line. Sometimes jostling the whole unit "fixes" things temporarily.) The documentation is unclear in many spots. I'm been a software engineer for three decades, and am not easily confused. I doubt anyone at GE has watched a user try to set up the machine while following the manual.

Easy to set up. Great phone app to program when to start making ice before you get home from work and when to turn off. Perfect ice nuggets that are chewable. Makes a lot of ice in a short amount of time. Kept up with our party of 25 people. Are family all enjoys this ice machine. Fits perfectly on a standard depth countertop and under the upper wall cabinets as long as you have a min of 17"of height space. Matches our Black Stainless appliances very nice.
