We love the ice machine. It creates the best little nuggets and we can't get enough! We are very happy with the machine and so glad we got it. My two complaints would be, as many others have commented, too - it requires regular cleaning/descaling (almost weekly) and defrosts without warning, which usually depletes the entire bin of ice. Those are not deal breakers, just sharing feedback.

I’ve had my profile for 3.5 years now and love it. It makes enough ice for the whole family. I fill my water jug with ice every morning and the ice is full again within an hour or so. It does make some noise but it’s not loud. The only issue I have is the unit is easy enough to clean but the hoses cannot be replaced without taking the unit apart which I wouldn’t attempt. That aside having ready made nugget ice always on hand is great!

We really wanted a small nugget ice maker and from looking at the size, look and specs, this one seemed exactly what we were looking for. The experience with it has been poor. On day 4, it pretty much stopped making ice and was continually going into "Defrosting" mode. After a full reset, it started to make nuggets again, but the ice making mechanism not occasionally makes just the loudest noise like someone is scratching done a pole, more often than not in the middle of the night (5 am). The remedy is to unplug it for a short while and then put the power back on, and it continues as it should.

I absolutely love this jewel. I’ve had every other ice maker out there and have been disappointed with them all. Either they quit working or need to be filled after 2 glasses or some other issue but my new GE is perfect. Perfect nuggets perfect water storage perfect look it’s simply perfect and I love it.

I like how it makes the ice , i don’t like the sounds. It’s louder than the dish washer or as loud. also I should come with auto clean features that do not require undoing the water tubes - that machine is heavy - not easy on my back to move for cleaning. i would recommend BUT it’s very expensive.

I love how quickly it makes ice. I do not like the way you have to fill the side tank. It is not easy cleaning the side tank. There is no way to brush out the whole inside of the tank. I am very scared of getting mold like many other people so I am cleaning it once a week and only using distilled water and so far I have had no issues. I also wish there was an easy way to see the inside of the machine just to make sure there was nothing growing in there.

My wife has always loved the "best ice" in her drinks. She will drive way out of her way to get some from Sonic or at a gas station that has the "best ice!" Surprising my wife with this Ice Maker for our 36th Anniversary was a HUGE win. In fact, I get "points" each time she uses it!

I had bought the full size scotsman ice maker 9 years ago and it died. Of course price had almost doubled in 9 years and couldn't spend that much money on a new one. I did research and saw great reviews on the Opal 2 GE. I got it and love it. It is perfect makes a lot of ice. I have the app and have it on time for only 5 hours since the ice stays for several hours in the ice bucket. The app allows you to turn on and off if needed or set a calendar to come on like an alarm and turn off at the programmed time.

The entire family LOVES this ice maker. On the way home the twins say mom cut the ice machine on so it’s ready when we get home. My partner even broke down and joint the family in ice love for the special grownups drinks but the best of all we take about 3 cups and put it in the dog bowl. Life will never be the same.

Love the ice maker and how quickly it can produce but there is this obnoxious noise. Every day, two to three times there is a loud churning noise that goes on for about 10 minutes. I don't know what causes it but I hoping that there is a fix. Aside from that, I would recommend it. Maybe I got the faulty one!
