GE Opal: Fast, crunchy ice from a sleek and elegan

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the GE Opal ice maker for a few weeks now, and it’s quickly become a staple in my house. The crunchy ice it produces is fantastic- crunchy cubes that rival that of Sonic’s offering. One of the best things is how fast it gets started; ice begins coming out at around the 20-25 minute mark. Once this happens, you can clearly hear the ice being produced and extruded- it is a squeaking sound of sorts. The machine is still quite quiet however, which is a big bonus as some ice makers can be quite noisy. I also love that the ice stays frozen overnight. I can turn it off before bed and wake up to a fully stocked ice tray in the morning, which is extremely convenient for filling up water bottles and the like in the morning. The water capacity is impressive too, especially with the included side tank. One fill of the tank lasts a day or so of heavy ice consumption, but can stretch out for a good few days assuming you don’t use all that much ice. However, there are a few downsides. The Opal does require regular cleaning and descaling, especially if you’re using it nonstop, which can be a bit of a hassle. Further, the stainless steel exterior, while sleek and elegant, tends to show smudges and fingerprints easily. Not a big deal if you wipe it down regularly, but nonetheless it can get annoying. I must also note that this is a large machine, and takes up a significant amount of counter space. Overall, the GE Opal (OPAL01GEWKT) delivers fast and high-quality ice with an elegant design, making it a great choice if you’re willing to keep up with the maintenance.

Quality ice maker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love, love, love this ice maker! We love nugget ice at certain fast food restaurants. I don’t know why, but it just seems to make your soda taste so much more crisp! So, we were super excited to try out this new GE nugget ice maker. First of all, it ships perfectly. Nothing was damaged. Everything was packaged up carefully. Assembly was pretty easy. Just make sure to give everything a little wash and rinse before use. After being cleaned and set up, the machine begins to make ice almost instantaneously. This specific model has two reservoirs in which you can put water so you don’t have to constantly fill with water. There is one on the bottom and the additional side tank. This makes things a little easier. Ice is continuously made and doesn’t really ever run out. It is a heavy duty appliance but still fits nicely under my cabinets. The only small thing I would change is if there was a designated spot to put your ice scoop. Other than that, this machine is great. Oh, it it’s not loud at all! This is just a great nugget ice maker and a fun addition to our kitchen!

Great nugget ice maker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this ice maker at the perfect time as my fridge stopped making ice a few weeks ago and I was not ready to have it repaired yet. This ice maker was large, honestly probably wouldn’t recommend unless you have a ton of counter space for it, but worked amazingly. It was so quiet when it ran (quieter than my washing machine) It makes a ton of ice quickly and is easy to clean after use. I definitely have enjoyed having this and would recommend to anyone looking for a high quality ice maker for their home or business.

Crunchy ice nugget

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the crunchiness of the ice that this makes! It also didn't taste like tap water. Althought it is a bit on the heavy and bulkier side, and it took a while to make ice the first time but the noise level is low so it didn't bother me.

Registration on GE site Issues

This review is about registration of a product. It's too cumbersome and technology is glitchy. It required way too much of my time to register the product. I tried with my phone and never got confirmation using the QR code scan so I went to the trouble to set up an account online and register only to find out the product was already registered.

A water lovers dream

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am completely in LOVE with this product! It is virtually silent and it makes ice so quickly, is easy to refill, and is built with such quality that I can already tell that it’s going to last me for years to come. The self cleaning feature is simple and easy to use and I was able to fill up an entire cup of ice within an hour of set up! The instructions were so simple and so clear that the entire process only took me about 20 minutes from start to finish. I’ve already been using it like crazy and I’ve already convinced two family members that they need one! If you’re an avid water drinker, RUN!

The GE Profile Nugget Ice Maker is a sleek, effici

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a nugget ice lover, the GE Profile Nugget Ice Maker has quickly become a must-have in my kitchen. It’s sleek, compact, and produces that soft, chewable ice we all crave. The machine works fast—usually in about 20 minutes—and can make up to 24 pounds of ice a day, which is perfect for daily use or small gatherings. It’s super easy to use, with a simple display and a handy self-cleaning feature, which I really appreciate. Plus, it’s quieter than most ice makers I’ve tried, so it doesn’t disrupt the peace of my home. My only small gripe is that the ice bin fills up a little too quickly, so I find myself emptying it more often than expected. Also, while it’s worth the investment, it’s not the cheapest option out there. Overall, this ice maker is a solid, reliable choice for anyone who loves nugget ice. It’s fast, efficient, and looks great on the counter!
