The ice that this makes is great and quick, and have not had any issues so far. The only complaint I have is that when you tilt the drawer forward the drips always run down the front into the drip catcher outside, leaving water marks on the machine. I understand it is needed to collect the water that melts back in to the pool inside to be used again and not lost, but when opened these drip outside when tilted forward. It seems like they could improve this aspect in a future revision, but that is the only criticism I could think of. Overall, fantastic.

I owned the very first version of this machine for many years and recently due to several minor but annoying problems I decided to purchase a new one. this machine is even better than the previous one, it is quick and very quiet, I couldn't be happier.

Due to the fact that everyone prefers the soft nugget ice; We unashamedly now have two of the Opal's in our home kitchen… solid units two things that I am comment and or question?? Is 1) how do you install the included nylon block that I assume is a holding area/unit for the provided plastic scoop? 2) perhaps a some sort of testing strips should be included so you will know you own water quality for scaling and hardness… really ia a great machine and appreciate that the led lighting has a switch…

I love that this ice maker is really fast at producing ice. I couldn't believe that just 20 minutes after filling the water tank we had ice. The only down side I've found is that the ice bucket collected condensation and dripped when opened. I think if it was better insulated this wouldn't be such a problem. I needed to turn it off and empty when not using the ice regularly.

I love this ice maker. Small ice that's easy to chew- my dog loves it and demands pieces when I'm refreshing my drink. Only downside is it became loud after a couple of months due to vibration. If I hold the sides of the maker it's as quiet as ever, but dang it makes a racket now.

I had this icemaker and within the first 10 days, it made horrible sounds, wise than the expected whaling I read about. Keep in mind that I used only distilled water and purchased the opal filter. It would turn itself off after making a terrible noise like grinding chains. It was pretty, but could never get a full basket of ice.

This is a great ice maker. We use it daily so the extra tank is helpful. Only downside is the ice doesn't stay frozen. It melts and the water recycles. So the bottom ice is 1/2 melted and harder. So the best ice is on top. For the price it would have been nice if it kept the ice frozen. Don't regret buying. Easy set up. Fits easily on counter and is beautiful.

We ordered the GE OPAL ICEMAKER model # XPIO13SCDSS W/ WIFI... We have just set it up and it is making ice as I am writing this... I will throw out the first batch "just in case"... I will edit this review if I am able. The hubs says I am gonna LOVE THIS ICEMAKER...Easy to set up...Using water from our filter pitcher. Not big on using APPS but I'm gonna set it up on my phone...! and see what I can do with it & OPAL BLUE...

Our fridge doesn't have an ice maker in our apartment. And with my wife being pregnant in the middle of summer she needed ice cold drinks to get her through it. We got this and she couldn't be happier always having the nugget ice to to chew while she enjoys her lemonade.

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.
