Perfect Counter Top Icemaker!

We bought this being a bit skeptical as many reviews mentions loudness on most of these units. Not this one - it's quiet, makes ice incredibly fast and the nuggets hold up in drinks. Highly recommend this GE ice maker - we'd give it 10 stars if we could!

Nugget Ice Maker Great Purchase

Ice machine works great! The machine is well built and is exactly the dimensions provided. We followed the instructions for set up and had ice begin to start making within 10 minutes of turning the machine on! We purchased this machine three weeks ago and continue to be very pleased with the quality and quickness the machine creates a full container of ice for the family!

Ice ice baby

After 2 days i nearly returned this product because i couldn't quit figure it out... but i am SO happy i didn't! Once i learned what everything meant, how to set up the auto fill correctly, learned the drawer tilts and is not broken ..... it was ice ice ice! This machine runs so efficiently that i was storing extra bags of ice until one of our ous was full. I have used this for parties and just everyday use. I bought it for our motorhome but am using it everyday in or kitchen. It is amazing. The ice is the best texture just like chic-fil-a. Everyone in our family agrees it is much better than the ice from our fridge. Take a leap and buy it if you need an ice machine!

Great ice machine

This is a great ice machine, we bought it for our home. I make ice all day on a Saturday bag it up and put it in the freezer. It's great I tell people all the time about my machine. It keeps it frozen until it fills the bin up I dump it every hour .

Love the nuggets!

Makes a lot of nuggets (ice), more than the less expensive ice makers on the market. You do need to "clean" the unit once a week and then change the filter once a month. However, cleaning the less expensive machines was a pain since you had to wash it by hand. For the GE, you use the descaler powder, change the filter and you're good to go. (Well, I think you're good to go since I haven't owned it for more than a month yet.) You do need to place it close to a sink to facilitate easy draining.

DO NOT BUY

I was very excited when I saw a nugget ice machine at my local Sam's Club. However just 2 short weeks after purchasing, the machine started making a loud screeching noise and stopped making ice. Fortunately Sam's Club has a great return policy. But I would not recommend this machine to anyone. Very poor quality.

GE opal icemaker

Load squeal never lasted two days before we took it back. Called GE they acknowledged that has been a problem with them.

reply from GE Answers

The Opal will sometimes make loud sounds if the internal mechanisms have become frozen up. The defrost cycle is automatic and can take 10 to 45 minutes. We always recommend ensuring that the unit has at least 4" of clearance in the rear and on both sides, and that the side tank is not blocking the side vent of the unit. We understand that you have already returned the product and we’re happy that the retailer was able to assist you. If you ever need assistance with any GE Appliances product in the future; we’re always here to help.

Bougie Ice!!

Caught this on the doorbuster deal and I am in love! I fill my Stanley up every morning before work and don’t have to go to Chick-fil-A just for their ice!

Best Purchase

This small nougat ice machine by GE is exactly what we were looking for. I am amazed at how much ice it can make. It is very easy to operate and is used all day long for water and sweet tea!
