The best ice for summer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ice is hands down the favorite in our house. It's the perfect texture- crunchy but soft and easy to chew on. It also keeps our drinks cooler for longer than any other ice we have tried. It also seems to melt slower than other ice we have bought from the store. The ice maker itself isn't overly loud and is so handy. It is very efficient and replenishes ice as I remove it, which is so convenient. The instructions are easy to follow and we haven't had a single issue yet. We use a lot of ice in our house and it's great for drinks, smoothies, keeping bottles or cans cool, and for stocking our coolers. I also blend up ice from this machine to make homemade slushies. It's a hit with every single member of our family. This ice maker is a must-have for any family that goes through ice like we do and that enjoys a cold drink in the summer.

Easy setup and quick!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wanting a nugget ice maker for a LONG time so I was excited to finally get one. First impressions: It’s a little bigger than I expected but not bad, looks really pretty and seems well made. Set up was easy, although the manual is a general one, regardless of the model of ice maker, so some of it requires using your own common sense. The ice making process is QUICK, within 15 minutes of starting the ice process I already had a few ice nuggets drop into the bin. The ice is perfect size (and texture) for drinks but I wouldn’t use it in a shaker or to keep things cold in a cooler. The machine is a little loud…basically sounds like a mini fridge/freezer, but it’s in the kitchen and doesn’t really bother me. All in all, this seems like a solid product and I hope it lasts longer than some of the reviews.

Love the ice, question the machine.

This is our third ice maker. The first one worked beautifully for a couple of years then developed a black debris in the ice I could not overcome. I even took the machine apart( warranty expired anyway) and deep cleaned could not get it to stop forming in ice every three days. Bought a new one, only to return it immediately because the water cycles into the ice bin melting the ice when ice is taken from the bin. This one ( number 3) does the exact same thing. I’m tired of returning them and it makes perfect ice so I’ll just be content to have my ice melt a bit every time I harvest ice from the bucket. I really don’t know what else to do.

We're sorry to hear that you had to replace the ice maker multiple times. The defrost cycle is automatic and usually takes about 10 to 20 minutes. This is normal operation. You can view this information at this link here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=000062724 If the issue continues, we recommend reaching out to Opal Support at myopalservice.com, or you can also contact 1-866-907-6718.

The Best Ice EVER!!

Omg I LOVE this ice machine!! I bought it a few years ago and it’s still running strong! It makes my favorite kind of ice cubes that I’ve only been able to get while in the hospital!!! I had been looking for a home size machine for years before I finally found it. I 100% recommend it!!!!

Sleek ice machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ice maker was super easy to set up! I couldn’t hook it to our water supply so having the water tank was a big help! It literally only took a few hours for it to produce the ice. And the little crunchable cubes are great!

Wow!!!Ice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow!!! The GE Profile icemaker is a game changer in my home. We love that we can just scoop and fill our cups. We have even been making our own version of a snow cone with the ice it produces. No more ice trays to fill. It fits nicely on my counter, It doesn't take up much space, looks sleek, and blends well with the countertop. My only complaint is that the outside tank hasn't worked since we set it up. Im happy for the inside tank. I just put a bottle of spring water in, and shortly, there's ice. The double tank is a great idea. It is also cool that the setup was easy.I love how when you use ice, it automatically begins replenishing as long as there is water in the tank. If contemplating on purchasing, contemplate no more.get it ,you will not be disappointed

We are so excited that you are enjoying your new Opal icemaker and the nugget ice it produces. We have provided some tips to help with the side tank water flowing into the unit here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=39655 If the tips provided above do not allow for water to enter the unit, we recommend taking advantage of your limited warranty on page 17 of the Owner's Manual here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--vbKuLt7s--/948870c5994735e6bab4b602b0e1f9bf00167348.pdf

A top-tier ice maker that delivers chewy nugget ic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the GE Profile Opal Nugget Ice Maker for a few weeks now, and it’s been a total game-changer! The ice is perfectly crunchy, similar to what you get at fancy restaurants. It’s easy to use and refills fast thanks to the side tank. The build is sturdy and sleek, adding a touch of luxury to my kitchen. However, it’s a bit noisy during the ice-making process, and you need to stay on top of cleaning to keep it running smoothly. Overall, I’m thrilled with the ice quality and love how it elevates drinks and snacks at home!

Great Ice - many issues with design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the ice but since this is the original model, there are several things that are really annoying. Mainly the seepage of liquid every time you open the bin. Also the spraying of water all over the ice (causing it to melt) every time you get any amount of ice from the bin. Requires constant wiping off of area around the icemaker every time you open the bin.
