Never have a laid my eye on a more glorious sight. The ice from this thing is freaking awesome. The first bit of each batch does come out like a slushie. But it melts and recirculates the water to make more ice and the bin drains so there isn't a pool of water in with the ice. I downloaded the App and set it up to just make ice 24/7 that way I dont have to manually turn it on ever. The initial cleaning process was a bit involved and it could use some RGB, but thats just my opinion lol

I would highly recommend this ice maker! My parents received one as a Christmas gift and we loved the “good ice” so much we purchased one as well as my brother's family too. I don't think I will ever be able to have any other ice again. The only downside is the noises it makes while making the ice, but it is well worth it!

The GE Opal Ice Maker is more than just a fad or gimmick seen on TikTok. The ice comes out with the perfect consistency every time. Although a bulky design, it has a presence that will add style to your kitchen or wherever you may have it. We selected the black stainless to go with our appliances and we couldn't be happier with it, as it compliments our kitchen area. I followed directions for set up and within minutes it started producing crunchy ice nuggets. Highly recommend for those who like to crunch on ice.

We purchased it on Nov 8,2023. It's beautiful, fits nicely on our counter, easy to set up & makes a lot of great ice. We installed a whole house water softening system before we purchased so we don't have any scale build up to contend with & the ice is delicious! I give 4 stars because it makes some pretty loud creaky squeaky noises that happen 6 or 7 times during the ice making process. I may exchange it for a new one & try again. :)

We got this as a present and can't begin to imagine life without it. All our neighbors want our “fancy ice”. The included side tank is amazing. We've yet to outpace the ice maker with a hand full of people getting refills. The machine is quiet comparable to some others I've heard. Price tag beyond worth it.

We love our Opal. We've had it for the last 3 years. My husband couldn't live without it. He uses it the absolute most. My sister In-law bought one for her daughter's birthday. Size is perfect and makes ice quickly. I definitely recommend getting the water filter. I have no problem giving it 5 stars!

Ice maker has a sensor that tells it to start making more when the bin starts getting low on ice. The ice falls into the bin in a pile and doesn't really spread out, so the pile gets tall in the middle and "tricks" the machine into thinking the bin is full, so it stops making ice and that ice just gets melty.

Love the nugget ice. The only problem I have is the ice maker will not work when the filter is installed. I use water from my refrigerator which has a filter but the water in ice maker still needs a filter because it is not removed with just the screen.

This 2.0 version is so much better! As an owner of both models, this one is much sleeker, more modern, and quieter than the first version. Additionally, the fan setup and cooling is more efficient which allows it to make ice faster. The Alexa integration and the mobile app allow much better timer and smart home functionality. Overall, very pleased with the improvements made over version 1.0. Despite the price still being a bit steep, I'd definitely recommend!

Ice maker is great. Easy to clean, setup and make ice. The ice is soft and chews easily for those who like to eat ice. Not a high volume machine but it keeps up with me eating ice all day long. Had issues with the shipping to my home, but once it arrived, it has been great. Use it every day, all day long.
