We have had this for about a week now. It takes about the amount of space we expected. It makes ice very quickly and we really like the size. It is a little louder than I would have liked but it is tolerable. It is a little heavier than I expected which makes it harder to clean, I don't have a place near the sink.

I use my GE Opal Nugget Ice Maker every single day, and it's been one of my favorite kitchen additions. It was super easy to set up right out of the box, and it fits perfectly on my countertop without taking up too much space. The ice capacity is great—it holds plenty throughout the day—and it's surprisingly quiet while running. I love that I can schedule it from my phone so the ice is ready for my morning iced coffee, which has seriously been taken to the next level! It's easy to clean, convenient to use, and honestly just makes life better. Highly recommend for any iced drink lover!

We love this ice maker especially the chewy nugget ice it makes. I love to crunch ice and this ice maker makes plenty of safe for the teeth chewable ice. It's also surprising how quickly it produces it. Even though we use it a lot my only complaint is the cleaning indicator calls for a descaling quite frequently and to clean it right, it usually takes an hour or two and that's using a commercial ice maker descaling solution rather that using vinegar and letting it soak for 12 hours. I will admit every time I clean it I can see small pieces of scale floating in the water reservoir. I then usually have to drain, refill and run cleaning again several times to get all the scale flushed out. Also I get water drips from water drops being on the bottom of the bin when tilting it out to get ice. Other than this, I would have given it 5 stars but I would still purchase this again and will get another if this one ever breaks.

Installation was simple. Capacity of the ice bin is good and having the side tank is a lifesaver, I'm glad that I opted for that as well. The noise level is medium, I wish it was quieter, but it's tolerable for the benefit of having nugget ice. The cleaning requirements is a bit cumbersome, at least the descaling process. It requires a good 24 hours to devote to it and that's a lot of time investment for something that is not a pet or a child. I've only been using filtered water, yet the buildup is Much higher than I would've expected from using filtered water. It would be really nice to have a option to connect a filter somewhere along the hose line that goes from the side tank reservoir, leading into the icemaker that the customer could purchase the specific type of descaling and filtering type filter needed for their specific area and water hardness so that you could simply just use tapwater, and it would be filtered and processed properly before entering icemaker, thus protecting all the components inside of the icemaker. When I unplugged it to do the cleaning and scaling process for the first time, I noticed there was white substances leaking through the metal seams at/near the front of the machine. This is a bit concerning to me, as I can't tell if it's coolant leakage OR some type of acid or what is coming out there. I love the way. It is working so far in the ice production, I'm a little bit nervous about spending this much money and having it leaking stuff out of the “seams” this early in its life. I'm also not thrilled with having to be cleaning and descaling every 2 to 3 weeks and would've hoped for a better process for an appliance of this high dollar amount and what I perceive as top of the line equipment.

Great little ice maker. Makes nice small crunchy ice and the light inside makes for a cool glow at night. Love that it keeps the ice after making it and recycles any lost water due to melting. Had a slightly difficult time setting up the connection to WiFi, but the help line was very easy to talk to and responsive.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome product love the nuggets ice soft and crunchy every one love it but the only thing is the side tank they should have put the fill cap at the top so I would not have to take out turn over then have to touch the cap to take off I wash my hands before touching cap because it touches the water inside the tank reservoir so yeah fill cap should be on top then put cover over it G.E. takes this note

We have had this just over 1 1/2 years. It started "acting up" about 5 months ago. It would say "add water" when the tank was full and not make ice. It has since started making this awful LOUD noise periodically during ice making. For the cost, IT IS NOT WORTH IT

My wife loves this thing. If she could dump me for this thing she would. She trenderly feeds it filtered water and then consumes ice water all day every day. I set it up in the app to create ICE in the morning before she wakes up and to turn off at night. The only time I find it empty is when we have guests over. Installation was super simple. It takes up a ton of space on the countertop but it is well worth the sacrifice. One thing to note is that if it runs extremely low on water it can make enough noise to be distracting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the final product I get from my GE Opal Nugget Ice Maker. Two things I do not love is the noises that it makes and how often it has to be cleaned. But, I would buy it again despite those two things.
