I've wanted one of these nugget style ice makers for a long time, so I was being very careful when choosing one as they are quite pricey. However I'm so grateful I bought this one when I did as it was what kept me going when I was without AC for a week in the south. Pros: -Once it gets going, it keeps a pretty steady stream of ice going. -First few nuggets are pretty slushy, but the manual warns you that that is the case, and they start to harden up pretty quick. -The ice is the perfect consistency for what I wanted. -Larger than I thought, but not so large that I couldn't find a reasonable space for it. -The drawer is surprisingly well insulated and the ice doesn't melt particularly quick. -Water from the melted ice is cycled back through to make more ice, so less waste. Cons: -It does have some annoying noises. Not terribly loud, but can be distracting. The occasional squeak, and the constant hum can be bothersome if you are sensitive to sounds. -If you have the model without the side tank, you have to remove the drawer to refill the water reservoir, and you can't see how full it is until you do. -My model has wifi and an app but not bluetooth. As much as a I love tech, the wifi/app setup has the potential to be a web security vulnerability, and I can't in good consciousness use it. I wish it had bluetooth so I could still set a schedule for it without having to connect it to my wifi. Thankfully it doesn't have to be connected to wifi to work. On the whole, I really love this thing and I have used it everyday since it arrived. If soft ice is something you really enjoy, then you'll likely enjoy this

I absolutely love my pellet icemaker. Not only does enhance the look of your countertop…It's got a super streamlined design and it's an absolutely amazing product. Does everything GE says it does and more. I was concerned about the amount of ice it made, but this thing puts out some serious poundage. My daughters immediately attacked this icemaker as soon as they get home from school. I've noticed it's also gotten them drinking more water. Whatever it takes as a parent, right? I've had several friends comment on it and ask me where I got mine from. This purchase for me of 2022 hands down.

Bought this ice maker after looking at it online over and over. Read reviews from several different retail stores and decided to order it. Setup is pretty easy even though I had a couple of minor issues. I do feel like it says it needs to be descaled more frequently than it should as my area does not have hard water at all. I checked the enclosed manual and it states every 3-4 weeks is common, but the app has prompted me to perform the procedure 3 times in 3 weeks. Additionally it seems that the start/stop programs that can be added in the app do not always seem to start and stop at the correct time. It really does make great ice and that is exactly what itt says it does.

Love this ice maker- what a wonderful addition to my kitchen! Pros: amazzzzing ice, fits on counter top easily, LOVE the additional water tank, refills rather quickly, I like that it essentially recycles the water of older ice that wasn't used Cons: a little noisy- there is some vibration from the back of the unit that can be silenced with tapping it lightly- but it is a small frustration, ice closest to the bottom is harder- but that was expected of me- I like the softer chewy ice- so overnight sometimes the ice on top isn't as soft as I would like... not a complaint- just an observation

Holy cow! No more bothering my husband to go to everyone's favorite drink stop with the good ice! You know the one. You also know that good chicken place with the even better ice. Yeah, this tops that even. I was worried that it wouldn't be as soft because the ice in my freezer is really hard. No, ma'am, Pam! This ice is so soft. And QUIET! It has a small noise, but hello! It's making the best ice in the world! The demand keeps up with my ice addiction plus that of my husband and two sons. It fills quickly and just keeps going. On the days that my husband goes into the office, I take pictures of how wonderful my drinks are and how I have a cup of just ice at my desk to chomp on. He says that it's a cruel punishment. I say I'm just bragging! Quit thinking about it. Buy it. Why haven't you hit the purchase button yet?

It came 3 days early. I was sick so I didn't get it set up right away. But, when I did, it worked great. It was well packed. Between the instructions and the pictures, we were able to get it up and running. A few slight problems but not too hard to do. I love the ice. It is just like Sonic Ice. It keeps up with our needs.

The ice machine is a little loud while making the ice and goes through water really fast. I fill our machine up with water at least once a day, besides that the machine produces ice pretty fast and recirculates the melted ice fast as well. The drawer for the ice tends to leak down the front of the machine when you pull it out, so we have to keep a cloth in the tray they provide for the machine. Overall it is a good machine with a little upkeep.

This is our first ice maker to use and love the ice it makes along with the ability to set a schedule for the making of ice. We have ice ready when arriving home after work each day along with weekends. It does however make more noise than expected. Overall a really nice unit.

This is my third opal ice maker. I love these things! They typically have a set lifespan around 2-4 years in my experience. Regardless, these machines make the best ice! Recommend using distilled water to increase its life expectancy and to ensure cleaning of the machine is completed regularly. Makes enough ice for a family of 8. Easy set up and install. Fits perfectly under our kitchen cabinets. Runs quietly.

Trust me - you NEED this ice maker - and you DEFINITELY need the side water filler (technical name:) - easy to set up - easy to operate - easy to refill the water filler - basically it just makes your life overall easier and waaaay better - it literally makes you keep hydrated all day long - and makes a mean cocktail at night!;)
