I have wanted this ice maker since it first came out but was weary about paying so much when other ice makers I owned were terrible. I'm sorry that I waited so long! This is the best ice maker I have ever encountered. It is worth every penny! The ice is perfect and the machine is the most quiet appliance in my kitchen.

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.

Great ice maker! Easily maintained, easy installation, however cleaning process is long for the first use. Not noisy quietly makes ice in the background. Good size like the front drawer for ice. Holds a decent amount of Ice. Like the automatic feature of producing ice as it is used. Great product

My Opal is my favorite purchase of the last few years. We're on our 2nd. The first one lasted like 5 years but we used it every day and never used distilled water. So the ice was softer but towards the end there was always sediment at the bottom of your glass when you used it. We bought a water distiller to go along with the new machine. And though the ice is a bit harder it's still great. And if it lasts 5 years that's Pennie's a day considering we run it every day. Highly recommend.

With WiFi convenience and a design so sleek, I recoothis product, a treasure you'll forever seek.

This ice maker is beautifully designed and easy to install. It fits perfectly in a small corner in my kitchen and fits the kitchen nicely with its aesthetically pleasing sleek design. Once cleaned, installed, and connected it side tank, it took about 20 minutes for the small nuggets to dispense. Love the small nugget ice it makes.

Three opal ice maker is a perfect addition to our kitchen. This machine churns out more than enough for our family of 5 who all love the soft ice. We're added the side tank and are working on a modification to connect directly to water supply. That is the only drawback of the machine. It should at least be an option to connect to a water supply.

It is too early to give a detailed review as we have just installed the ice maker today, but suffice it to say that it was easy to set up and it is already making ice just 15-20 minutes after finishing the set up. It makes a low humming noise, but not intrusive. It is attractive and does not feel "out of place" in our kitchen.

My family loves crushed ice and this works like a charm. I agree with the previous reviews that the machine is a bit on the noisy side but it sits in our kitchen and we don't hear it in any other rooms. Also, we only use distilled water in the hopes of avoiding any maintenance issues, and it isn't always readily available. That said, my gang is thrilled with the ice that this puppy puts out. Worth the hassle.

I love this machine. Quick to make. Easy to use and install. It always makes more than enough so i bag it up and when we have luncheons at work i bring a few gallon bags into work and everyone goes crazy for it because it is "chewy ice". Honestly i can say this is one of the best buys i have done recently.
