[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Makes large amount of ice, quickly. Easy to set up/use. Not loud at all. Looks great on counter in kitchen. Wonderful nugget ice! Getting a 15% discount with Consumer Reports was the topper for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would have love to know that when it tells you to do a cleaning for the first time that you can't put the filter back in because the machine doesn't recognize it. It try's to make ice and then it stops and tells you to add more water and you have a side tank and it is totally full and the inside the water has gone down due to the fact that it tried to make ice, so you add a little more water into the machine and it try to make ice and then stops and tells you to add more water and it is all due to the filter, I took it out and I have not had any problems making ice sense. I only use Filtered water, so we decide not to use the filter anymore. There is no true instructions for this machine. No clear trouble shooting help in the book and everything I found on the internet was not that much helpful either to figure this out. When ice melts it makes a lot of water in the bottom of the bin and doesn't drain out very well, all I have seen water in between the walls of the bin after its been washed and it seam like when I wipe down the front part under were the bin is it seams that the water keeps popping back up, so I'm not sure if water could be leaking down into the front of the machine from that area when it gets wet from the bin hanging down when you get the ice out because of all the melted ice that turned into water. Don't use the filter is a problem and the machine doesn't recognize it after you do the first true cleaning and put it back into the machine, so it is worthy.

So far, we are extremely pleased with the ice maker. It makes a great nugget style ice and keeps it cold until it gets used. The initial setup and prep was easy and well documented. It’s larger than I realized but still fit on the countertop, under the cabinets fairly easily. Whole family is using it daily and like it way better than the refrigerator made ice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the final product I get from my GE Opal Nugget Ice Maker. Two things I do not love is the noises that it makes and how often it has to be cleaned. But, I would buy it again despite those two things.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I were so happy to receive this ice maker as a wedding gift. We absolutely loved it for the whole week that it worked. Now it will no longer make ice. It constantly says "making ice" and then "add water" even when it is full of water. We have tried making sure the tubes aren't stopped up and have cleaned it multiple times. Unfortunately, at this point we will be in contact about the warranty for our machine. We are really disappointed with the quality of this expensive machine, in particular because it was given to us as a thoughtful gift.

I don’t write reviews often, but after purchasing more than 3 of these Opal ice machines and always having the same squealing issues I would give this product a zero if possible. I purchased a water distilled just for this machine thinking maybe it’s our water, but the squeaking always occurs after the 1 year warranty is up. I would highly recommend looking at a different ice machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome product love the nuggets ice soft and crunchy every one love it but the only thing is the side tank they should have put the fill cap at the top so I would not have to take out turn over then have to touch the cap to take off I wash my hands before touching cap because it touches the water inside the tank reservoir so yeah fill cap should be on top then put cover over it G.E. takes this note

Some of my family members already had this model %26 highly recommended to me %26 upon getting it, I can totally see why! I had the perfect, crunchy ice within 30 minutes of assembly (which is super easy), it actually will keep an almost full bin of ice overnight %26 irs quiet too. We don’t know what we did without it! I love it so much that now I’ve subscribed a regular Walmart delivery

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love the ease of setup, convenience of use and size of the ice cubes. The only con I’ve found is how often the cleaning reminder comes on. We’re using soft filtered water and it seems at least once a month the cleaning reminder flashes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only had machine for a week, it would make one batch of ice then go into defrosting mode for hours. I ran a cleaning cycle several times, the issue remained. For the cost I am not going to wonder if it will make ice or not every day, so it was returned.
