Makes the best ice & super easy to clean. The only thing is that I wish it didn’t automatically make ice everytime you get ice from it. It’d be good to make on demand or request vs just triggering to make every time you take a scoop. Still - my favorite “appliance”. Use it literally every day & I’m probably more hydrated because of it.

Purchased the new model as a replacement for one of the original opals that we have had for several years. So far we like this model even better than the first. The side holding tank makes refills easier and less frequent. It reduces the need to remove the bin to add water, which helps keep mess to a minimum. Haven't had to clean it yet, but it looks like it is more serviceable than the original. We love the nugget ice and this works great for our family. The initial run cleaning seemed to go faster than the old unit since water drains more quickly. Also, the built in filter has finer mesh which should prevent small the general dust that sometimes makes it way into the bin from cleaning or use. If you don't own one you should get one. We do recommend using distilled water since our well water left deposits in the old model. I'd also recommend cleaning frequently - that was something we didn't do as much as we should have on the original unit we owned. Overall, well worth it!

This ice maker is the best purchase ever. My entire family loves it and it has increased our water intake. Our youngest , 4 year old, can easily access the ice and fill her water bottle without any help. It produces a lot of ice and really easy to use. Love love love it and highly recommend it to everyone.

Just got my new Machine yesterday and super easy set up and works great! I love that the side water tank connects to the ice machine and it is extremely quiet. I had a full bin of ice in less than 40 minutes!( and we kept using it too. The machine keeps the ice nice and cold so you don't wake up to water in the am. Looking at a second for my RV!

I have owned three in 5 years. They all stop working despite cleaning regularly and using a filter. Last one broke before warranty and it was not simply replaced . I was required to send back to company for repair. I will not be purchasing another one. For the $$ I can buy cheaper ones for disposable ice machines. The ice was the best but the frustration is too much.

I love it when it works but despite all my efforts of troubleshooting, Phone calls, cleaning it constantly goes into defrost mode several times an hour and more times a day than I can count. I've had the problem since the first week of my purchase and it still continues. Would not recommend.

So far I am enjoying said product. GE is the epitome of American innovation. The Opal Nugget 2.0 ice maker product supported my little get together with ice to spare. I am happy because the wife is happy. Ice cold cocktails shaken and stirred. God Bless GE, God Bless America 🇺🇸!

This product is a very expensive dud. I have followed every instruction to clean. It continually defrosts after making a handful of ice. Sometimes it will work perfectly for a few hours. The online complaints are crazy. I bought because a friend has it and hers works OK. Get a cheap one because it will outcast the opal 2.0. Shame on GE for this product.

The ice maker was easy to setup, and updated the software, I really enjoy being able to control certain features via wifi, and I made my decision to buy this product as opposed to others base on YouTube rating, it is a bit pricy but after using it I think it worths the price

Terrific ice maker! Love the WiFi feature that connects easily to my phone. If you buy it, you definitely need to purchase the one with the extra water tank though. The ice is crunchy yet soft at the same time. Price is reasonable and hope that it lasts long.
