We are really, really happy with the Opal! It has exceeded our expectations and gives just enough ice to service four people WELL. I was initially intimidated with the "cleaning" process. But, the instructions are very clear and cleaning is not a hassle. I clean it about every two weeks...but I do use filtered water.

My only complaint about the GE Ice Maker is that while it’s making ice there is a terrible squeaking noice that it makes that gets my dogs attention and causes him to absolutely freak out. If you can ignore that, it’s a great product and would absolutely recommend!

I absolutely love my machine! It does make some noise but typically I can’t hear it over the tv so it doesn’t bother me at all. Does exactly what I need it to and love the fact I can set times for it to turn on and turn off so I’m not wasting power. Price point was more than I wanted to pay but for the quality and the amount of use it gets I’m okay.

We've had this ice maker for about 3 weeks now and it has been great. I clean it every 7-10 days to keep is running perfectly. It takes about 10 minutes to clean. I set up a schedule to ice is ready when we wake up every morning so it doesn't run all night. The app works great and allows me to control it remotely if necessary. I would highly recommend this machine.

Product arrived with a failure in the manufacturing of the water tank. They failed to glue the two halves together. Contacted support who told me I needed to return the entire product which is silly when only the external tank was a problem. Otherwise the ice maker works well. Our last opal only lasted 2.5 years so we will see how long this one last.

My wife bought this for me and I love it! No more having to stop at Murphy Express, Sonic, or Valero to have soft ice! This machine starts pumping out ice 20 minutes after I plugged it in! Suggestions for improvement- include these in your refrigerators, provide a kit to run a direct water line to the machine.

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 absolutely love our new GE Profile Opal Nugget Ice Maker! Best kitchen purchase we have made in a very long time. We have a fridge that makes crushed or cubed ice, but the nugget ice maker is the bomb! Couldn’t be more pleased with this product. It’s side water feature is a must!

We love our new GE Profile 2 Opal Ice Maker. It makes ice super fast and the ice is great in drinks. I highly recommend using reverse osmosis (RO) or distilled water in the machine to reduce maintenance (which it requires a lot of), and scale build-up. The only real issue I have with the machine is it sometimes gets stuck saying it is out of water, even when the tank is full. I suspect it had some gunk in the inner workings even from the factory. But after finding some tips on this online and also blowing hard on the tube from the side tank, it seems to be fine. Other than that, the machine makes more noise than I would like. Not too bad though.

We love the ice maker. It makes the best ice and keeps our drinks cold. The only downfall is I wished it had a dispenser on the front like my French door refrigerator. Takes a hand to pull out ice bin and another hand to scoop the ice. Your drink has to sit on the counter.
