I have really enjoyed how quickly this icemaker is able to produce ice and it is very quiet!!!! I love the side water chamber and the amount of ice that is produced with very little water. The fact that it automatically switches to producing ice when some is removed is a nice feature. It does require frequent cleaning so I would recommend placing it near a sink for easy drainage.

Product came as expected, intact. For a high end GE product could be more seamless, certain aspects are cheap and does not fit properly (base for side tank). Manual for product is useless, you will figure it all with trial and error. They keep deleting my reviews , so seems you will never see a negative review. Will post on social media rather than here of that happens again

The Opal nugget ice machine is a small counter top appliance that delivers the famous nugget ice in 30+ minutes. I say 30 because after only 20 minutes the ice hasn't started quite forming fully and can still be slightly wet. The wifi feature was buggy at first, but seems to have sorted itself out. I'm not sure about the optional side tank feature as it requires you to fiddle with and reposition some of the tubing at the back. Would prefer just the machine itself.

We owned the first generation Opal ice maker, and it was very good. Liked it so much, got a second one. The newer one made some good improvements - such as being quieter, less "squeaks" and noise when making ice. Fit and finish seems a little more refined. The ice bin appears to be a new design so it is less likely to pull all the way out by accident. So far so good!

This ice maker is easy to install, and the nuggets are so delicious!!! I've had other ice makers that have t lasted very long, and am hoping this one will continue to exceed my expectations! I've only had the machine for 2 mo tha and am hoping it will continue to impress and last a lot longer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been looking to purchase an ice maker for some time now. For a family of 3, this seemed like the best solution. So far, so good! This makes that great soft ice like you get at Sonic so that's a bonus. The only knock is the machine is a tad noisy. Not a big deal when there's allot going on in the house, but when we're relaxing on the couch, it's a bit loud. Love the compact size too! Doesn't eat up allot of counter space.

I have wanted a nugget ice maker for as long as I can remember. I was going to get one years ago but it was a commercial one and I couldn't justify the purchase or price. I drink a lot of water and other fluids and I never run out of ice. Make sure you fill the tank regularly and not allow the water to run out. Its not quiet but no louder than the dishwasher, nor is it small, its bigger than my Bunn and I have it on my island. I dig it, so thats all that matters. If your on the fence, get one, its worth every penny and you wont regret it. Slushies at home are way better than Sonics nasty and a lot better than being in the hospital. My kids are grown but now they all want one too. The nuggets are not only chewy but contagious. Merry Christmas to me! Ho Ho Ho

we just bought this item last week, so far so good. it is a great addition to a modern home fits on the counter under kitchen cabinet. not noisy, make great quality ice, ice is available constantly for the entire family, not enough ice for a party, you still have to buy ice from the store to cool beverages in a large cooler, or to show case cold wine buckets. it does look amazing and is very user friendly, no drips and no mess. thank you for a great design. this is a great compromise if your refrigerator ice maker keeps breaking or does not make enough ice.

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!

Very excited to have this ice maker. I'm using only distilled water which will hopefully limit the amount of required maintenance. I had zero issues setting it up and running it through its initial cleaning cycles. It has worked flawlessly, including its schedule which I sent with the app.
