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

The Opal 2.0 is a real investment—a bit expensive, somewhat heavy, and requiring frequent cleaning—but we think it's completely worth it! GE is telling the truth when they say, “This is the good ice!” The whole family loves the soft, crunchable ice nuggets—as do our guests. We highly recommend the 2.0 model—quieter, easier to use, and seems more reliable.

I have always wanted a nugget ice maker. So when my ice maker in my freezer broke for second time I researched ice makers and this one had the best reviews. It cost way more than the others, but definitely worth it! I love that I can turn it on and off with my phone. Also love love love the water container connected to the side.

Oddly for a brand new machine, it had some scratches on the bottom of it that must have happened during shipping. Thought maybe they sent me a used one and was going return it, I unpacked it and cleaned it up. Works great. Would be 5 Stars if not for the scratches on the bottom.

The Nugget Ice last at lot longer in my drinks than the Bullet Ice from my previous Ice Maker. Does make Ice quickly. Has a removeable side tank for adding water. Side tank will hold 84 ounces of water. Does have Wi-Fi connection capability. Notifies when it needs cleaning. Claims to make 44 pounds of Ice in 24 hours. It may make that much but I have to stop making Ice because I don't have the capacity to hold 44 pounds of Ice. I can go for 3 to 4 days before making a new batch of Ice. It was more than I wanted to pay for the Ice Maker, but it is the best one I have purchased. I did purchase the extended warranty they offer. I do recommend purchasing this product.

We had been unhappy with our built in icemaker (upright Samsung Frig/frz), but we go through a lot of ice every day, and short of a large commercial icemaker we thought we had no options. By chance I happened across this gem.... It does take a bit more counter space than we'd like, but the ice and speed of production is excellent. (we use distilled water only, so no matter the beverage its's the only thing talking to your taste buds.) Would highly recommend.

Product looks nice, but the ice it makes is not very cold. This may sound funny, but the ice is soft and not hard. It melts really easy in your drinks. I plan on bagging some up, and freezing it, so it can get harder. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a icemaker. It's still fairly new, and I love ice, so I will give it a few more months to see if I can get used to the ice.

We love our ice maker. I debated this purchase due to the price for months…maybe even a year. I saved up and am not at all disappointed with my purchase. Helps me Drink more water also saves me from having to use our ice maker in my fridge that gets stuck all the time.

I do like this ice maker, it makes them well and in these small balls that are fun to feel in your mouth. I wish that it wouldn't make this screaming noise every other week, for no reason. It's especially bad when it wakes you up in the middle of the night. It is newer machine so there wasn't a lot of reviews mentioning that. We shouldn't have to change out the ice every week bc it feels so wasteful of water and energy.

This thing makes ice quick!! Its a plug and play ice making solution. We are having dificulties in storage ice in bags, the ice that came out of the machine has a high level of not crystallized ice, and once in the bag, the ice sticks and form blocks. After 15~20 minutes ice was in the fridge, I punch the bag and ice loose, this has help to keep the ice loose, but this is not something that should keep you away.
