Greatest counter top ice maker we've ever had.

Th Opal 2.0 ice maker is a fabulous little ice maker. Dishing out wonderful small pellets of ice that we love putting in our drinks and water bottles. The device is not difficult to maintain, but make sure you clean it regularly or the machine will begin to make angry whirring and squeezing noises during the defrost cycle. Don't blame the machine, turn it off and follow the cleaning instructions and it will happily start working again with its minor whirs and gear sounds making ice again. .

Don't fix ice disp. on your refrigerator-buy this!

We were so tired of the ice maker on our refrigerator getting jammed and needing repair so we bought this ice maker. We love the ice that it makes and it is was cheaper than one call to the appliance repair man. Great quality, easy to use, and economical for the amount of use it gets.

Amazing ice- unreliable design

I love the ice that this produces and the ease of use, but unfortunately I am already on my second one. The first only lasted 6 months before it totally stopped cooling. The warranty process took months and they sent a refurbished unit. So far so good on the second one- but my expectations for longevity are low.

Nothing better than nugget ice

My family could not be happier with nugget ice maker. With our family of 5 ice addicts we are filling the water twice a day. Only took 1 star as it does have a machine noise that is definitely noticeable. If you are sensitive to that and do not have a place you can put away, this will not be for you

Its working, I can hear it from any room in house

This is the loudest, squeakiest ice maker I have ever owned. The sound is akin to basketball shoes on a newly waxed floor. You know it is making ice, so if you do not have the app, no worries, you can hear it from any room in the house. I guess some ice makers are quiet and some are very loud. Very disappointing for the price. The ice is wonderful though.

Good but could be better

This a great nugget Ice maker and we love it! But the APP is useless (basically turns on and off light and tells if it is making ice or not...).Also it needs the external water supply needs rethought... The opening sits in the reservoir so every time you need to refill the water you have to handle the part that will be submerged in the reservoir (not very sanitary). There also is no light or any indication of the water level (sure you can seethe level in the clear plastic but it would be great to get some indication the water level is low. Finally would be great if there was a way you could tap right off a water line and not worry about refilling the reservoir. Great ice maker but could be better.

Family love this unit, couple trade off's though

Well I'll start off my saying my wife and 6 year old are obsessed with chewing ice. My kitchen floor is constantly wet due to the fact my GE fridge spits out the ice at million miles per hour so it's hard not catching all of it. With this I knew we'd fix that problem and also the fear of my kid busting a tooth on harder ice. There is a couple other options when it comes to nugget ice but it's still limited. This obviously is probably the most expensive one but between all my Kitchen appliances being GE cafe, I wanted to keep it universal. Plus the fact this one is shorter then other ones so it fits under the standard cabinet height. As far as function, it does what it's meant to do. Add water and make ice. There is a reservoir inside that you fill with water and also the external one. It's highly recommended filling both options however pro tip, fill the external tank prior to the internal tank. If you do the internal first, it fills up the external base for the external tank And when you side the tank in, water shoots out everywhere. Ice quality I feel is good, it's soft and crunchy at the same time and absorbs the liquids nicely when used in drinks. Nuggets do not stick together so I feels that's also a good plus. My only two issues are A)The noise, it can be loud and louder than I was hoping it would be. For some reason it's has a good vibration noise if I don't have the external tank installed down the side. My kitchen is separated from the house as far as not being a open floor plan so thank goodness for that, I still can hear it from the next room over. It is louder than my GE dishwasher to give you a idea. B) Water.... it does use a lot of water, both tanks of water will be used in a couple days with minor use. It's an expected problem but I don't know if it melts quicker than expected but then again it reuses the melted ice. If you're able to attached an actual water line, go that route!

Well worth the investment

This is probably the best invest for inside my home that we have made. I'm an ice eater and crushed is what I need. We constantly run out but not anymore. You would think that it would take forever for this little machine to make ice it absolutely does NOT. Within an hour maybe 2 I go from an empty container to full. The tank is a must and it lasts a while. I might refill it every other day or so. I've never been a fan of GE products but this might sway me over to more GE products. Even bigger benefit is the app. I don't have to be home to turn it on.

Poor quality and unrepairable

Do not buy this machine. We had one less than a year when it started to flash add water to a full machine. We contacted GE did all the tricks they said to do which did not work. We were sent another machine which was nice but that machine started to do the same thing as the other. Contacted GE once again but at that time it had been 2 months over the 1 year original purchase date and warranty was no longer good. I was instructed parts for these machines do not exist and was offered a discount on my next GE purchase. Poor quality and unable to be repaired. A lot of money for something that did not work more than 1 year.

Not recommended for daily use

My husband loves the ice from this machine but I absolutely hate this machine. If you use it daily 1) it cycles each time you get ice 2) it's loud and 3) you have to clean it every two weeks. The cleanings take about an hour because of the repeated rinsing to make sure there's no remaining bleach. A few days before the “cleaning” light comes on, the machine makes a loud grinding noise throughout the day. The noise stops after the cleaning but returns about two weeks later. I do not recommend this product if you want to use it daily.
