We bought our first ice maker 5 years ago when it was the FirstBuild Opal version. We loved it then, but really love the new GE Profile version with side tank. It functions well, is quieter than the previous version, and has a more attractive look and feel to it. The pull-out drawer has a stop-catch so it won't fall out when open, which is a new feature that appeals to us.

My junk 2 year old Samsung refrigerators ice machine quit working and we use a lot of ice in our home so I decided to buy this machine and it has been perfect. The "good ice" is perfect and the machine makes ice unbelievably fast. Very happy with the purchase.

I bought this for my wife as a Mother’s Day gift. She loves it and we love it. The only reason for 4 stars versus 5 is due to the water level issues with the side tank. On multiple occasions the unit runs out of water and will not pull water from the side tank. I’ve been experimenting with different things to figure it out but this has been the only negative part so far.

We have had the Scotsman pebble ice makers for years but with the family size shrinking, no need for the larger bin of pebble ice. This product produces beautiful pebble ice without the need for a separate water line to be installed and no drain pump is required. Easy peasy.

The Opal is working fine but the side tank is not. If everything worked, I would give it a 5*. It worked for a few days but then it stopped feeding water into the machine, and it allows the pump to run dry. We just keep having to put water in the machine rather than in the tank.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The GE Profile Series Ice Maker is a dream come true for our home. The small pellet ice is a favorite here and having this ice maker is so convenient. The set up was quick and ice was being produced within an hour of opening the box. A simple touch turns the machine on and the additional side water tank reduces the number of times water needs to be added.

Moves from Massachusetts to Arizona. Man you need to drink tons of liquids each day especially in summer. Husband has the great idea of buying this machine. We are a family of five and we for the side water refill container and we have enough ice at a moments notice. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Bought the product for my husband because he’s one of those that has to have tons of ice with all his drinks (even if his drink is already cold). He absolutely loves it. He loves the ice size and is a complete fan now. Now my refrigerator ice-maker won’t have to struggle keeping up with supply and demand from my husband’s obsession with ice.

I have had this ice maker for about 2 weeks now and I already hosted my first gathering and it was able to keep up with my ice usage for about 12 guests... Super simple to set up and use and love the fact that I can control it with my phone! I would highly recommend this ice maker to anyone looking for one...
