I was wary to purchase this machine because of the maintenance needed and how prone they were to breaking. I've only had it for a couple of weeks but it works perfectly. I use distilled water and plan to clean it out monthly. The schedule its on to make ice is easy and I like that it melts and reuses the water if I don't use the ice.

Loved this ice maker for two days, then it started making a loud squeaking noise. Went to the owners manual troubleshooting .... it says "may start to squeak as ice starts to build up around the mechanisms. The defost cycle is automatic, and may take 30-45 minutes.During this time, the front button won’t respond. More frequent squeaking usually requires white vinegar cleaning to remove internal mineral scale buildup". Turned off machine overnight ran cleaning cycle with white vinegar (note - machine did not make "squeaking" sound during cleaning cycle.) with cleaning cycle completed drained the white vinegar solution and ran another cleaning cycle with clean water. Once the ice maker started making ice the Squeaking started up again.

Works great. We have been using ours for about 2-3 months and love it. It keeps up with our daily ice usage. We use a Brita water filter to filter the water we use in it. My brother bought one too and he loves it. Expensive but worth it so far. Makes great easy to chew ice.

not worth the price. started leaking and made sure cleaning cycle was done, GE sent out a new one under the one year warranty and had to return the original one. now at the one year mark the replacement makes loud blending machine sounds. just junk, if you spend money its best to get one hooked up to a water line (so u do not have to keep ing up the side bottle and not get a GE ice maker. it makes all kinds of sounds all day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The GE Profile Series Ice Maker is a dream come true for our home. The small pellet ice is a favorite here and having this ice maker is so convenient. The set up was quick and ice was being produced within an hour of opening the box. A simple touch turns the machine on and the additional side water tank reduces the number of times water needs to be added.

Ice maker is great! After every use ice maker starts to make more when the door closes. The whole family makes use for it, sodas, iced coffee. Perfect size ice. If I have 1 dislike/concern it’s the noise sometimes get a bit loud. Not all the time, just random.

I only use distilled water and this thing is fantastic! We have 4 women and 2 kids that are addicted to chewable ice and there is always a full container waiting for them with this wonderful machine. The side tank makes it super easy to monitor and refill. I leave it on 24/7 and the lighted ice tray makes a wonderful night light as well as making the ice look clean and inviting.

This thing makes ice quick!! Its a plug and play ice making solution. We are having dificulties in storage ice in bags, the ice that came out of the machine has a high level of not crystallized ice, and once in the bag, the ice sticks and form blocks. After 15~20 minutes ice was in the fridge, I punch the bag and ice loose, this has help to keep the ice loose, but this is not something that should keep you away.

Only time will tell the reliability. I like the compact-ness of this ice maker. The little pellets are great, too. That said, sometimes I like bigger cubes and opt for ice from my refrigerator. If you are looking for a countertop ice maker, then this is the one for you. As far as the wifi option is concerned, I really do not use it, but perhaps one day I will.

We love the ice, hate the noise level at certain time. It gets so loud we have to unplug the unit for it to quit. Would recommend the water tank add on. We clean it weekly and turn it off at various times so it is not running 24/7 and this appears to help with the noise.
