Our Opal Ice maker

i gave my wife the Opal nugget ice maker for her birthday and she absolutely LOVES it. I have to refill the side water holder at least once a day. The nuggets are all soft, perfectly formed little gems that she loves. If you like to chew on ice, consider the Opal to really enjoy nibbling on these soft nuggets.

We waited a long time for this!

We are really enjoying this ice maker. The small nuggets are perfect size for our drinking water, juices, and shakes. The machine is easy to operate and maintain, and fits perfectly on our countertop in a corner of the peninsula that isn't useful for much else. We only put reverse osmosis water in this machine, like we do all of our machines. We highly recommend it.

Ice is great, maintenance is a bit of a pain

The ice this machine makes is great, it's exactly what we wanted. I noticed after about a week or so of operation, the rate ice production starts to slow down and it seems to defrost more often. Eventually it starts spending more time defrosting than making ice. The instructions recommend running it through a cleaning cycle once a week. Doing the cleaning takes care of the problem, but the cleaning process is a little bit of a pain. You have to make a solution of water & bleach, and run that through the machine, then drain it and run 3 more cycles of clean water through it. The whole thing takes 20-30 mins, which wouldn't be so bad if it was a few times a year, but weekly is more than annoying.

Not the best

First one didn't made shaved ice not nugget, never could get it to connect to WiFi. Returned it to the store and pick a second machine, got nugget ice but for some reason it will not refill for the water tank, and still can't get it to connect to wifi. Called customer service for help, didn't get a call back

I finally have my own Sonic ice machine!!

We have wanted a pellet ice maker forever. This ice maker looks great and we sprung for the side tank so we won't have to put water in it every time we want to use it. Set up is easy but it does take a little time sanitizing it. It is substantial -- my husband and I moved it from the floor to the counter together (but then we're old!!). It looks great on the counter even if it does take up a lot of room. And it definitely needs space around it because the ice maker puts out a lot of heat (esp from the back). But in just under two hours we had a full bin of ice! And it IS the good ice. If the Opal continues to operate in the future the way it has the first day, happiness and pebble ice will fill our house :-))

Perfect ice!!!!

Omg, I did not know I needed this in my life!! If you've ever had the misfortune of being in the hospital, the only pleasantry is that delicious ice. Well, now you can have it in the comfort of your own home. This little machine makes that ice that is so crispy, and it really absorbs the flavor of your drink. During these crappy times, it's so important to have some little pleasantries. Do yourself a favor and pick up this little ice maker!!

"cool" ice maker

This is my third unit. Hear me out. I purchased the very first unit when it was solely "Opal". It worked great for the first year and eventually gave out. I was able to exchange it for another unit via the warranty. That unit lasted 2 years and finally gave out. My wife loves this ice so naturally i gave in and bought the now "GE" nugget ice maker. Great new design and way sleeker look. I've only had it for a few months but seems to be running so much smoother. These devices are a little temperamental so beware. They can tend to be a little noisy for most peoples tastes but this current unit is running quieter for sure. Be advised taking care of the unit is key. Do not let the unit get dirty, ie. hard water, using "spring" bottled water seem to clog the unit and require it to be cleaned more often. One thing i would love for GE to do is upload a "how to" for descaling and cleaning the unit step by step. To include any of there accessories for the unit, "side tank". Aside from any of the negatives you might have found in my review, i gotta say we really love the speed, amount, and shape of the ice. Its great for get togethers and provides an alternative to regular ice.

Fantastic ice machine!

The best ice around! The machine is so quiet and sleek looking. I love that it fits under my kitchen cabinets and looks very clean. I've started in about 20 minutes and didn't stop till the bin was full! My kids love it too plus we are all drinking so much more.

Amazing Ice!

Purchased an Opal 2.0 Nugget ice maker for my wife as a Christmas present. She's always loved crunching ice at Sonic and, when I'd heard that GE had a machine for consumer/home use, I decided to buy one. In a word, she LOVES her new nugget ice maker!! I've been sourcing ice from the machine, as well, even though we have an in-door unit on our GE Monogram refrigerator/freezer. Frankly, I prefer the, smaller, "soft" ice nuggets in my morning orange juice. Although we haven't had our new ice maker very long, I'm very pleased with it so far. While it's not inexpensive, the quality is there and I'm betting I'll save some money this summer as my wife and I drive by Sonic rather than pulling in for a cup of soda and their chewable ice nuggets! One final point...the unit has nice LED lighting that looks fantastic reflecting off the ice and adds to the overall quality image of the appliance.

I love ICE!

I love the ICE maker! This is however my 3rd one. The others only last 2 years, but they run 24/7. Well worth the price over and over. Don't have to leave the house to get the ice that I love to eat. It's smaller than chickfila but larger than sonic for reference.
