I've been through a handful of ice machines over the years and none of them were "just right". Now, times have changed and GE has answered the call of what I can only assume to be the cry of the public to have that "GOOD ICE" at home and here we are.....THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I have absolutely 0 complaints and only wish I could give one to all my friends too!

I think it is simple to install and keep up, featuring a user-friendly design that is soft on teeth. Nevertheless, a few customers have mentioned problems with the noise level, including the pump producing loud sounds or clicking repeatedly. There are varying views on its functionality, cost-effectiveness, dimensions, and ease of cleaning.

We recently bought the Opal 2.0 nugget ice machine and it has been great. We were quite surprised to see ice being made just 10 minutes after the last clean cycle. I had a concern about the noise but although it does produce sound; it is only discernable in the early morning hours before my kids wake up. We don't notice the machine running during the day. I love the fact that it stops making ice once the bin is full and also that you can set a schedule to make ice. We wake up to a full bin of ice and come home from work and school to an ice full. The 3lb capacity has been plenty although we did save a couple of gallon-sized bags in the freezer if we ever needed any more. We have found that the machine takes a little more than 3 hours to fill up.

The ice maker came quickly, was easy to disinfect and set up. Connecting the WiFi was very easy which lets me control when I want to have ice made. It is reasonably quiet and looks sharp on the counter top. This does not have a freezer to store the ice like a refrigerator ice maker, but most counter icemakers don't. The unused ice will melt back into the reservoir and be used to make ice once again when you are ready. I recommend this product if you want an appliance that makes quality ice head and shoulders above a fridge ice maker. Plus this is the good nugget style ice. Amazing stuff!

Been looking for an ice machine that makes Sonic ice. This is it. My wife said this is the best gift I ever bought her. Easy to use, and makes a lot of ice rather quickly. We have a family of 4, and we have never ran out of ice, or even came close to running out. Some reviews said it is loud sometimes, but it isn't any louder than our fridge. Great product, so far so good. We all love it.

The GE Profile Opal 2 (XPIO13SCSS) is a game changer! This appliance brings the ice from your favorite establishments home. A couple of things to mention are the excellent build quality and serious ice output. You will not be disappointed with Opal 2.

While I love the ice it produces and the ease of use, at about the 1 year mark the unit began to leak. I am regularly finding water underneath the unit. And it is not just from what drips onto the tray. Unit has been cleaned and descaled repeatedly since purchase.

I have been pondering this purchase for about 3 years. I waited too long! I should have ordered it 3 years ago. I love this ice machine. It is VERY quiet, very efficient in making ice and very easy to use. This machine does not take up very much space and is very attractive on my countertop. When I brag to others about my ice machine, I find out that others that have also purchased this unit are extremely happy with it, too. I have yet to find anyone that I know that dislikes this ice machine!

Several friends have the Opal Nugget Ice Maker & I could not get enough. I wanted one for my RV but it needed to be free of a water line for travel. Opal fit the bill. I removed my old RV fridge, bought a dorm fridge & built a shelf to hold the Opal. When she arrived she fit like a glove. Incredibly happy with this purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setting this up definitely requires some time, but for good cause for disinfection + taste. Personally for me my kitchen fridge doesn't make ice very quickly, and we always run out at parties. It takes about 2-3 hours to fill up the bin, so preparation is key here. I will use this for filling up my yeti coolers for the weekend, making mint juleps, and having nicer crunchy. My dogs also love the crunchy ice that's easier on their teeth.
