I don't usually write reviews but my new opal deserves praise. It's pricey but WOW it's awesome. I've had other countertop ice makers but nothing like this. If you're looking for a top of the line, best bang for the buck, app controlled unit then this is the one for you.

I am more than pleased with this product. Was concerned about the price and the reviews that said they had issues. I carefully followed all the instructions for cleaning it before use and have had none of the problems other people reported. I am amazed at how much easier it is for my husband and I to get our daily water in. It is like it begs you to drink more. Other people have complained about the noise, but it doesn’t make anymore noise than a refrigerator and if you happen to notice it making more ice then it is just an encouragement to top off your glass. You can never have too. Ice water or ice when you live in the desert.

For anyone with a nice home bar, this is a nice capstone to your equipment. The setup for wireless is simple, and you're less than an hour from unpacking to getting ice in your bin. I can't imagine not having the side-mount water reservoir, so plan to make that part of your purchase. I wish the bin was a little more insulated to keep the ice from melting, but when you're using it for a party or other activity, melting won't be an issue.

Love our new GE Opal 2.0 Ice Maker! It's a workhorse but is so quiet you won't notice it's running. I love the adjustable lighting option and that the controls have minimal lighting too. It's a sleek design that looks nice on our counter. It's fantastic that it doesn't need its own water supply, giving us more options for placement in our home - such a plus! And the ice - so, so good! We love having this soft ice available all the time. My only warning is be careful when cleaning it not to submerge the bin as water will get into the double-walled front. I think the instructions could have been more clear on this point, but we were able to remedy the issue by removing the handle to drain as much water as possible, let it dry and then replace the handle. Overall, don't hesitate to purchase this ice maker!

I was abit skeptical about the expected volume it should make since we had to replace the first one we ordered earlier in the month, but the replacement works great. It took 3 hours to fill the bin the first time, and runs only short periods of time to maintain based on usage there after

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!

Great quality ice machine! There is a little issue but I can deal with it. The design that the meted ice water goes back into the fill tank is great, except that means when you open to get ice, the condensation on bottom of ice tray drips water all over the counter. Other than that- this makes the best nugget ice!

Our Samsung refrigerator ice make has always been a pain since we bought it. Clogs up weekly . Complaining to my husband constantly, he bought me this for Christmas! I LOVE IT! the best ice for us ice lovers! Small and soft, perfect. we only use the fridge for ice water now.

Unpacked my new ice maker on Christmas day, read and followed the cleaning and setup instructions, and 20 minutes later I had what I call 'smunch ice'! I also ordered a supply of Styrofoam cups and lids from a different vendor, and now I have a seemingly endless supply of movie style ice and cold drinks. I love this icemaker and hope it lasts for a long time!

I am an ice snob. I love ice, in all drinks and a lot of it. When I read of the opal on Kickstarter I passed due to its cons. On this Gen 2 I did not hesitate. Makes perfect nugget ice, fast, clean and yummy. Ice water, with bourbon, coke, you name it. Family is digging into that bid at all hours. Great purchase, well made, seems to be of excellent quality.
