My junk 2 year old Samsung refrigerators ice machine quit working and we use a lot of ice in our home so I decided to buy this machine and it has been perfect. The "good ice" is perfect and the machine makes ice unbelievably fast. Very happy with the purchase.

Easy to install, solidly packaged (one note is that I would recommend redesigning the packaging so it's reusable...maybe using the clips like they put on big flatscreen tv boxes) instructions are very straightforward. Easy to clean, easy to fill the side tank which is way more convenient than using the reservoir. Ice starts in less than 20 minutes and you'll have a usable amount in about an hour. WiFi is a great feature to set a schedule so it's not running 24/7. If you've been looking for the “good ice” at home, this is the machine for you.

I really love this ice maker. My sister got tired of watching me drag bags of ice home from the grocery store, so she bought this for me for a Christmas present. I absolutely love the small ice nuggets. They're produced fast and easy. I did have to set it up in my laundry/pantry room because it makes a bit of noise while making the ice but the noise doesn't last very long.

Looking for Sonic style ice? Look no further than GE. This ice maker, while a tad pricey, blows the competition away and delivers copious amounts of small nugget ice for your pleasure. 10/10 highly recommend. This is our third one overall two in this house and one I have to my mum

I love crunchable ice and have always searched for fast food places with that ice available mainly because I've chewed my ice after finishing the drink. Now I don't have to search for places with that ice in their drinks as I have my own crunchable ice maker. It's an unbelievable product: quiet, fast icemaking and the bin stays full all day. Best of all, my family enjoys the availability of ice that seems to keep tea and soft drinks colder than cubes.

I was feeling so worried reading all the reviews about how this ice maker worked for a total of 3 months and then there would be issues. Or how it would start to make loud noises and eventually die. Well seriously I haven't had any issues. No noises at all. Except for when I fill the tank with water. That's the only time that it makes any noticeable noise. The ice maker is basically in my room, studio apartment, so the level of noise that the ice maker makes was quite a concern for me. I don't even realize that it is still on half the time. Such a good buy. I do not have buyers remorse. I'm glad I just put forth 200 more dollars for the GE brand and got this ice maker verses a knock off or an opal ice maker machine that just isn't built to the best quality like the GE brand. I'm am so satisfied and if your reading reviews trying to figure out if it's worth it….just buy the ice maker and stop searching. This really is the one you want.

After thinking about this purchase over 3 years, I finally convinced myself to purchase the latest GE Profile ice maker. As expected, the ice is perfect...soft, chewable, and strangely satisfying. The operation is very simple. At this time I am still having to elevate the side tank 1.25 inches in order to get it to provide water to the main unit. I have performed all of the obvious steps to remove air bubbles etc. but do have this minor issue. I am not sure about the value of the wifi. To me it does not add anything and does not stay connected anyway even though I do have a very strong wifi signal throughout my property. Overall I am very glad that I made this purchase.

My husband & I hesitated to purchase a countertop ice maker because of space concerns as well as fear of it being too much trouble or not making enough ice. After much reviewing, with the GE Opal consistently coming out on top, we took the plunge. I'm so glad we did. We both love the small nugget ice. Ice production is quick and with the side tank, refilling is easy. No more fighting with the built-in icemaker in the refrigerator door! I'd highly recommend this to anyone considering a countertop ice maker.

The ice is soft just as advertised. We have pellet ice at work, and I would always fill my Yetti prior to going home. I don't now, because the ice at home is so much better. The only issue is it's a little loud while making ice, but I've learned to tune it out. Worth the price!!

We absolutely love the ice and this machine except that maintenance is not exactly easy. And as a result, the machine is very heavy when having to move it to a place for emptying the water after running the cleaning cycle. I wish that this machine handled hard water better also. We had the 1.0 version of this for less than a year and it stopped making ice completely.
