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.

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.

NO. NOT WORTH THE MONEY

I was so happy to get my FIRST! Machine. It worked a while and I loved it. When it stopped no one could fix it. So I ordered another one! I knew it was going to be okay. But it lasted less time than the first one. I tried everything they recommended and finally had to give up hope. It still sits in my kitchen. I have a lot of money invested in 2 machines. I finally found another brand that is working great! Sorry about bad news. I so wanted to have the Opal. So I am sorry to say it is a waste of money.

Counter hog

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the ice that this makes but was expecting for the machine to be smaller. It takes up way more room on my counter than I was expecting. But really love the texture of the ice. My kids love it too! Recommend if you have a lot of counter space.

Great kitchen addition

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this countertop ice maker with a side tank for a few weeks now, and it’s been a total game-changer in my kitchen. Setup was quick, and it started producing ice in under 10 minutes. The side tank is a great feature—it holds extra water, so I don’t have to refill it constantly. It makes a good amount of ice per cycle, and the bullet-shaped cubes are perfect for drinks.

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.

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!

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
