Been through a number of ice makers over the past couple of years since it is our only source of ice (live on a boat). Most last around a year before failing. The Opal is awesome (so far). The big test for me is it's durability. Check with me in 1.5 yrs.....

This is the best countertop I've maker on the market. Makes perfect ice every time. This is my third unit. I bought the prototype before they were on the market and replaced it with a newer 2.0. That one started having a small leak I can't pinpoint so I had to replace it. Trying to get repairs on these is pointless. It will cost as much to fix it as buying a new one because you have to send them in to GE. You have to ensure you stay on top of the cleaning but other than that they are great.

Over the past few years in hospital. The small ice was always something I loved. I had been wanting my own machine and couldn't really find one. We spent money on bags from different local restaurants. My husband bought this machine as a Christmas gift for me this year and I couldn't be happier!

I wanted a nugget ice maker and saw this model. It does exactly what it says, makes great nugget ice. I leave it on all the time and so far no issues. It is a little louder than a regular ice maker because of how it makes the ice but have it on a laundry room counter so its not an issue for me. Love the side tank so I don't have to constantly add water. Really like this ice maker so far

Looking for Sonic style ice? Look no further than GE. This ice maker, while a tad pricey, blows the competition away and delivers copious amounts of small nugget ice for your pleasure. 10/10 highly recommend. This is our third one overall two in this house and one I have to my mum

We really love this ice maker! It makes the perfect size ice we want and is almost always full and ready to go! That being said, I keep getting messages that we need to add water even when the water tank is full. And sometimes it won't make the ice unless I power our down then on again. Is it defective? Hmmm not sure but for the price we paid, I'm definitely going to find out! Lol

I love the ice that the Opal makes. I love the tank that I can fill with distilled water so that my ice is always pure. This has made me an ice snob! I take my iced water to work with me every day in an insulated 40 ounce bottle so I always have cold water the way I want it.

We love the ice and the machine so far but have only had it around 45 days it was easy to set up and was making ice in just a short time after it arrived. The capacity is small but for a family of two it is certainly adequate. Makes ice fast. Only item I can't get to work is connection to WiFi/Bluetooth. App says it can't find the appliance. Other than that it works great

This little ice maker has been working overtime for our household of 5, but it is trucking right along. Love the ice and glad we got the extra tank. It can be a little noisey at times, but not bad. I wish there was a way to hook it to a water line easily. Overall, very happy with the ice :)

Great icemaker. Produces nugget ice quickly. The only thing that may be of concern is that it is a little noisy when it is making the ice. It is not intermittent, it is pretty constant for a couple hours until all the ice is made then again when the ice is low. If this is in your basement bar that is not much of an issue. Probably something you want to use for parties and intermittent use since it does run quit a bit as the ice melts and new ice is made and the ice is not cooled in any matter.
