This ice machine is the BMW of in home ice makers. Fast and efficient and oh so quiet. When this one gives out we will be getting another one just like this one. I only have one small complaint. The on/off button isn’t easily visible. Maybe do a braille sign over where you can turn it on and or off. Great machine otherwise.

My wife and I were a little thrown off by the price but decided to purchase it for Mother’s Day. I never realize we used so much ice. It takes about 20 mins to get started but once it gets going, it’s non stop. The ice is perfect for drinks, coffee, water or just to snack on. My kids will finally drink water (with ice), just to be able to crunch on the ice after they are done drinking it. My wife absolutely loves it and I would recommend to any buyer out there. I know it’s a lot of money, but it’s well worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the one appliance I never thought I needed but it has become our go to for every beverage. Size and capacity work for our family of 4… installed on a mobile cart and with the side tank it easily produces enough ice for our needs. It’s quiet during normal ice making cycles. Installation is easy … looking forward to buying another for my daughter and her apartment

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just recently purchased the Opel 2.0 icemaker and I absolutely love it. It’s very quiet. It makes great ice and I fill it up maybe once a week with distilled water and when I say the family love it, its awesome. No more running to the local gas station for crunchy ice. You have got to get you one.

The ice bin dribbles A LOT of water when you open the bin. I have to put a napkin on the plastic drip pan, just so it doesn't spillover before I get it wiped up. It is a pain to have to continually wipe up water. Also, every 21 days I have to clean it. It is cumbersome to have to move it to the sink to drain and clean. It is a heavy machine. I assumed cleaning every 4 - 6 wks like my old ice maker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Makes large amount of ice, quickly. Easy to set up/use. Not loud at all. Looks great on counter in kitchen. Wonderful nugget ice! Getting a 15% discount with Consumer Reports was the topper for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My machine broke within 1.5 yrs despite impeccable maintenance. When I called for help they did nothing but read to me what I already read online. So disappointed and will never purchase or recommend again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Started off good... 16 months later it started squealing as it made ice. Now at 18 months we woke up to water all over the counter. Thought maybe there was an issue with the hose but when I leaned it back over the sink to get the rest of the water out I watched water leak out of the body of the ice maker. Also the water tank design is poor, we only run filtered water in it and it always has deposits in the tank when cleaning and you have the smallest opening to try and clean it out.

Purchased this for my wife for Xmas, she’s obsessed with crushed ice but it’s hard on our fridge/freezer (it jams up and burns up the motor). We have the Opal nonstop since purchasing it! No issues so far, makes ice very fast and it perfect. I’d highly recommend.

This ice machine was so easy to set up and use. First batch of ice was ready within 15 minutes. The ice maker is quieter than I expected. The side tank is a nice addition as I do not have to constantly fill the water chamber. Would highly recommend this product to anyone who loves the nugget chewy ice.
