Never used anything but distilled water, cleaned and descaled as recommended. Stopped working right at 1 year. Now its a $600 paperweight and GE won't help.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ice maker makes nugget ice perfect for drinks and the capacity is just right for my wife, myself, and my adult granddaughter who lives with us.

Really wanted this to work but after trying 3 different times gave up. Each time of going through the whole process of unpacking and setting up machine would start making ice and then start making a horrible screeching noise. Slow to make ice.

This is our second Opal. I do believe this one is better, but I am curious about the long term implications. It makes plenty of ice and it isn’t very noisy. It does need to be cleaned often, but does let you know when you should clean the machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the pellet ice so my husband bought me this for Christmas even though my GE refrigerator has an ice maker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Doesn’t make ice. Says need water while its full. Need cleaning but i cleaned it three times. Does not go on clean cycle. Bought it 3 months ago.

I returned two of these terrible machines. They made ice right away and then started making horrible noises like it was going to explode. I returned it and got a replacement and it DID THE SAME EXACT THING. These machines are garbage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Went on a work trip for a week. Missed this ice all week. If you're serious about ice cold drinks or ice in general then pick this thing up, you won't be sorry. I absolutely love it.

It is making a lot of noise. Similar to a broken lawnmower. Very disappointed with this ice maker. Not even a week old. 😕 I wish I could upload a video…. Good heavens!!!

It worked fine for 2 weeks. Then it started making very loud grinding noise. Tried everything to make the noise stop but not successfully. Returned back to Sam's Club.
