I was skeptical about clumping and lack of refrigeration but the ice last a long time and as it melts it recycles and makes more. The clumping isn’t an issue either because the nuggets break apart with barely a touch. The texture of the ice is perfect and easy to chew and is just like Sonic ice. Hoping GE add this ice to their refrigerator line because I would buy that in a minute.

Our family is loving having an always ready supply of the best just right crunchy nuggets of ice in view on the countertop. From ice water to cold smoothies to iced coffee, all are much easier to make when your ice is just a scoop away. Game changer.

I rent, so I have to deal with the fridge my landlord gave us. I use lots of ice, so having to constantly fill ice cube trays is so tedious and annoying! I've been wanting to get an ice maker for a while now!! Having a countertop ice maker makes things so much easier!! Having a side tank reservoir is great too!! It makes ice quickly and I love that they are nugget sized! Love it.!

I was hesitant at first spending the money on this product. However,!!!!! GE has surpassed my expectations again!!! I have read several bad reviews about this product. I have found if you follow the easy installation instructions all will be fine. I have not had any issues. It is pretty quiet. A little heavy but I feel like that makes me feel like it is made well. Perfect ice. I bought this mainly because my family is coming over for a few weeks and they go through all of my ice. Well, I fixed the issue. Now they will think I am sophisticated.

Bought this ice maker after looking at it online over and over. Read reviews from several different retail stores and decided to order it. Setup is pretty easy even though I had a couple of minor issues. I do feel like it says it needs to be descaled more frequently than it should as my area does not have hard water at all. I checked the enclosed manual and it states every 3-4 weeks is common, but the app has prompted me to perform the procedure 3 times in 3 weeks. Additionally it seems that the start/stop programs that can be added in the app do not always seem to start and stop at the correct time. It really does make great ice and that is exactly what itt says it does.

As many may do, I researched Ice Makers for months before we made the purchase. We go through a ton of ice in Texas pretty much year round so this little guy was perfect. It’s easy to set up and run it through the cleaning cycle. Yes, the machine is loud but what ice machine isn’t a little loud?!

We love the ice! It's just like Sonic, soft and crunchy. It makes enough ice to keep us happy all day, with five adults in our home. We go through a lot of ice, which is why we purchased this. The only issue is that it will stop making ice for no rhyme or reason. It will say "Add Water" when the tank is full. And will stay that way for hours, and then begin making ice again without any specific resolution. We've tried all the resolutions. It has a mind of its own. Fits perfectly under the counter. For the price, I hoped it would be seamless.

Several friends have the Opal Nugget Ice Maker & I could not get enough. I wanted one for my RV but it needed to be free of a water line for travel. Opal fit the bill. I removed my old RV fridge, bought a dorm fridge & built a shelf to hold the Opal. When she arrived she fit like a glove. Incredibly happy with this purchase!

We absolutely love the ice and this machine except that maintenance is not exactly easy. And as a result, the machine is very heavy when having to move it to a place for emptying the water after running the cleaning cycle. I wish that this machine handled hard water better also. We had the 1.0 version of this for less than a year and it stopped making ice completely.

Love the ice maker, love the soft crunchy opal ice! A few things I would do differently is make an option for the drip tray to have a mat that fits that for water drops, inside the ice box to make that box bigger to make sure the water at the bottom is not noticeable, and try to see if you can make it quieter.. Other than those things it's been great!
