Great ice! I tried an off brand small ice marker but the ice does not stay as long as this one does. I have had an Opal before then tried the off brand but came back to the Ge! Highly recommend it!

Loving the ice nuggets. Works quietly and has night light. Makes perfect ice nuggets, large capacity holding tank. Is about half an inch to tall to fit under countertop. Had to locate on top of a small refrigerator used for drinks. The external tank must be removed to fill with water rather than pouring water from the top, a slight inconvenience.

Very good purchase

I like

Love it

It is making a lot of noise. Similar to a broken lawnmower. Very disappointed with this ice maker. Not even a week old. 😕 I wish I could upload a video…. Good heavens!!!

I purchased in 2021. I cleaned it regularly. It suddenly stopped working. Did it fully depreciate? Maybe. It was lot of money to stop working. I’m disappointed because I did enjoy it while it lasted.

I had a First Build Opal ice maker that I bought 10 years ago. It quit working in May 2025. So i decided to buy another First Build - well they are now GE. So I took a chance. I bought it 6-13-25 and it started making the same screeching noise that my 10 year old did before it died. Not even 10 days old. I am sooooo disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this ice maker for 3 weeks and it randomly makes the most horrific screeching sound, like grinding gears. Ice is great if it just would stop with that sound. Think "Most annoying noise in the world sound on Dumb and Dumber"...

There are days when I think that this GE Opal ice machine is the best thing in the kitchen. The other days I just love the convenience of fresh, easily available ice. The size of the ice pieces is perfect for drinks or going into a blender. I purchased the one with the side tank and it definitely was the right decision. It is easier to fill the side tank. I use distilled water The only downside to this machine is the monthly cleaning. After a few times, it becomes a smooth process and you will want clean ice! The machine will prompt you when it is time to clean I have already recommended to friends
