The freeze comes to mind you get what you pay for… The instructions for a little foggy to set it up, but you just follow the diagrams and you're good. But I love having this on my counter because now I personally drink a lot more water like I should. There's nothing like it went up my travel cup with ice water and it blasting me all day and then I get home and I fill it up again. Well worth the money!

This is absolutely the best ice nugget machine out there. I have used several different ones in the past but this is the Cadillac of them all. Must say don't use the generic water filters. They will not work. Use only the G E ones. The others didn't let the water flow correctly. Kept telling me to add water.

I bought this for the wife for Christmas because she craved it when she was pregnant with our children. Sixteen year down the road, they now make them for the counter top! There has not been a day where we have not used the icemaker. Yes, it does hum, but that is to be expected from a refrigeration device, but not annoyingly. The descaling process is not difficult, but it is tedious. Despite that, I am still giving this 5 stars.

It's a great ice maker. Fills up the ice bin pretty quickly. The one thing I dislike is when I remove the side water tank, the part I remove it from is filled with water so I have to remove that water before returning the water tank to it, otherwise it overflows.

Overall I'm very satisfied with this Opal 2.0 ice maker, but there are a few annoyances. The constant drips you get when you open the drawer to get ice definitely explains the added tray for the front. Also I really wonder about the water recycling component, not really sure it does that because I'm always filling the reservoir tank. The noise level is manageable, I can deal with it for the wonderful trade off of the nugget ice.

We love it so far! Makes great ice and faster than expected! Only complaint is the instructions for setup- did a bunch of ge summer interns who came back from a work happy hour hammered write them? They made zero sense. I threw them out and it was much easier from there

This ice is the best! A couple things I wish were different are how often it needs cleaned- the ice starts tasting funny after a few days and the machine needs cleaned... didn't expect it to be this often and it's a little bit of a process to clean it. Also the hq app constantly says no internet when I have full internet- so I have to close out and try again just to chance one thing on a schedule, and often times even closing out of it, it does the same thing- it's super frustrating! Am I glad I have it? Yes. Would I spend this amount on it knowing what I know now? No!

We had one of the small countertop ones that worked ok, but it failed after a year and also was inconsistent at making ice. This one makes great "little cubes" that make our drinks very nice! I had a little issue with the side tank (hole for water to go through still had plastic at opening, but once I opened that up, everything was fine.

After reading some of the reviews that complained about the noise and some machines being slow to make ice, I was having doubts. Decided to take a chance and what a great surprise we discovered the first batch. The opal II has made approx. 20lbs a day every time we use it and we have yet to be bothered by excessive noise. It's a great machine and a big addition to our home.

My wife is a big fan of “Sonic ice”. She has me stop by and purchase their ice whenever we have a party or family gathering. Now, we have this ice made right on our countertop! Our granddaughters love it and it's become a treat that they like to have whenever they come over. We talked about buying on of these for years and then we received on with the side reservoir as a Christmas present from our kids. It was the best Christmas present ever!!
