I was so excited to get this machine. I spend most of the day just trying to get it to make ice. Once it does, I love it. I have to side tank full of water, the reservoir full to the max line, and it will still tells me it needs water. It is random when it starts making ice. I love and hate this machine. I wouldn't purchase this once from Sam's Club. The concept is wonderful. I would try buying somewhere else.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So excited to receive this. I stay dehydrated about 70% of the time. I absolutely hate drinking water but love ice. My Doctor suggested trying this and I'm very optimistic. If you're interested in my experience feel free to check back with me later

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.

I’ve been addicted to eating Sonic ice for almost 20 years. I think I’ve single-handedly kept them in business with my frequent purchases of cups and bags of ice. Well, my husband just got me this beautiful machine for Christmas and I am head over heels! It’s sleek, not loud, and most importantly, I can chew away on this soft ice all day every day without making a Sonic run. It’s identical (if not better??) than all the best, softest, most chewable ice I’ve ever found. If you are an ice-eating addict, this machine is for you!

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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While this ice maker generates good ice, it produces the most obnoxious and annoying sounds to the point my kid couldn't sleep through the night. I had to unplug it 2 days after I got it hooked up.

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.

Works better than I ever imagined.

Ice maker is a little bigger than I expected but works good & the ice it makes is perfect.

I absolutely love this ice maker!!!
