This ice is the best! A couple things I wish were different are how often it needs cleaned- the ice starts tasting funny after a few days and the machine needs cleaned... didn’t expect it to be this often and it’s a little bit of a process to clean it. Also the hq app constantly says no internet when I have full internet- so I have to close out and try again just to chance one thing on a schedule, and often times even closing out of it, it does the same thing- it’s super frustrating! Am I glad I have it? Yes. Would I spend this amount on it knowing what I know now? No!

Well I’ll start off my saying my wife and 6 year old are obsessed with chewing ice. My kitchen floor is constantly wet due to the fact my GE fridge spits out the ice at million miles per hour so it’s hard not catching all of it. With this I knew we’d fix that problem and also the fear of my kid busting a tooth on harder ice. There is a couple other options when it comes to nugget ice but it’s still limited. This obviously is probably the most expensive one but between all my Kitchen appliances being GE cafe, I wanted to keep it universal. Plus the fact this one is shorter then other ones so it fits under the standard cabinet height. As far as function, it does what it’s meant to do. Add water and make ice. There is a reservoir inside that you fill with water and also the external one. It’s highly recommended filling both options however pro tip, fill the external tank prior to the internal tank. If you do the internal first, it fills up the external base for the external tank And when you side the tank in, water shoots out everywhere. Ice quality I feel is good, it’s soft and crunchy at the same time and absorbs the liquids nicely when used in drinks. Nuggets do not stick together so I feels that’s also a good plus. My only two issues are A)The noise, it can be loud and louder than I was hoping it would be. For some reason it’s has a good vibration noise if I don’t have the external tank installed down the side. My kitchen is separated from the house as far as not being a open floor plan so thank goodness for that, I still can hear it from the next room over. It is louder than my GE dishwasher to give you a idea. B) Water.... it does use a lot of water, both tanks of water will be used in a couple days with minor use. It’s an expected problem but I don’t know if it melts quicker than expected but then again it reuses the melted ice. If you’re able to attached an actual water line, go that route!

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

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.

When we received our profile opal 2.0 it was very easy to assemble and to clean! The machine is very appealing with the way that it has been designed and the light is very helpful when we use it in the later hours of the day! The ice is perfect for chewing and for chilling drinks! We add the ice to our water bottles and it lasts for many hours. It makes ice quickly and quietly! We really like the machine and all of its abilities! Its size allows it to fit well in our kitchen and we have a large family and it is able to keep up with our use! GE did a wonderful job producing the machine!

The Opal 2 makes, hands down, the best crunchy nugget ice available. Never had an ice maker that I looked forward to using like I have with this one. The addition of app control makes it easy to conserve energy and schedule ice when it is needed and conserves power when it isn't.

I’m a self-described pebble ice aficionado, and the ice produced by this machine is just as good as Sonic or Chick-Fil-A’s. I’m so happy to finally have the good ice anytime I want it. The machine is quiet and well-designed, and even though the ice bin isn’t refrigerated, the ice stays good in it for several hours without melting or clumping too much. This was a bit of an indulgent investment for me, but I’m so happy with it. I held off buying one of these because reviews for the first version were iffy, but the 2.0 has been great so far. As long as it lasts a long time without breaking down, I would rate it 10 stars if I could.

My family could not be happier with nugget ice maker. With our family of 5 ice addicts we are filling the water twice a day. Only took 1 star as it does have a machine noise that is definitely noticeable. If you are sensitive to that and do not have a place you can put away, this will not be for you

I love ice. In my water in my coffee in pretty much enhances every cold drink. This machine is amazing! It’s not just ice. It’s the perfect size, perfect texture, even the temperature is just right. Ice is not too hard or too soft. If you love ice in your drink like I do you’ll understand. No regrets here. The only criticism is sometimes the machine makes some pretty loud noises. When this happens we all stop and laugh so no biggie.

I purchased the nugget I’ve maker back in November and have truly enjoyed having it. Although it’s a bit of an investment it’s so worth it. It consistently makes ice and the ice does not freeze into one big chunk. The nuggets are easy to chew and cool down my drinks nicely.
