Love it! Made more space in my freezer!

I bought this because I wanted the convenience of ice on demand, the durability of GE products, and who doesn't love nugget ice?! It does what it says without any issues thus far, and we have more space in our freezer! We have a pretty small fridge without an ice maker so it was a pain to make several trays of ice and empty them into the bucket. Inevitably, someone would leave an ice cube or two without filling the ice trays. And ice trays also get dirty and cause all that stuff to go in your ice. Now i don't have to worry about it anymore! I use distilled water in mine, and I've found it doesn't use too much of the water from the reservoir, just the water from the ice as it melts. Cleaning it is easy, and I've heard it should really be kept up on, on a weekly basis. The machine starts making ice as soon as the ice level drops, whether that means it's melting, or you open the door to pull some out. Basically, you'll always have ice unless you use the scheduling feature on the app. I definitely recommend this to others!

The best counter top Appliance I have ever bought

My wife loves nugget ice which in the past I could only get at certain gas stations. Not anymore...we now have the same thing right at our fingertips. This ice maker not only makes nugget ice but it does so on a schedule that you set via WiFi. I truly could not be happier.

Pleased customer

I read all the reviews before making the purchase. Our experience is that it is completely silent when it is not making ice, and then a quiet hum when it is making ice. We have it on the countertop and it's a tight fit under the cabinet but it does fit. Ventilation is on the sides. It makes ice quickly, is easy to add water. The ice itself is exactly as what we expected and wanted, just like nugget ice. The light feature is nice. I like the feature that if there is any melting, that water is used to make additional ice. The only melting occurs with the ice on the bottom, the fresh ice on top is always frozen. As soon as you take ice out to use, that's the trigger for it to begin making more ice. To clean it requires draining and the use of 1 teaspoon of bleach.Somewhat cumbersome but I agree with the necessity of doing that to keep it clean. It does come with a side attachment to hold even more water. We do not use this, but I can see the value of it when we are entertaining. We've had it one month and are very pleased with our purchase.

Fantastic product!

We thought we would use this ice maker when we had guests and needed extra ice. Wrong. We use this ice maker exclusively. Much better ice than the fridge. We use the wireless feature to schedule the ice maker times to make ice every day. Very convenient.

The Good Ice!!

I have wanted this ice machine for ages and have hemmed and hawed because of the price but I'm so glad I finally got it. I have had other ice machines that were so loud, felt dirty, didn't look nice on my counter and worst of all....didn't make pebble ice! This is really the only option. Just take the plunge, it's worth it. ps. Some people say this machine is loud and I have no idea what they're talking about. I find it incredibly quiet.

Best Countertop Ice Maker out there!

If you're looking for "Sonic Ice," look no further! It may be even better! This is our third countertop unit, the first two were off-brand and lasted a couple of years. We've had this for about a month and it's been nothing but amazing. Highly recommend getting the side tank. My wife and kids go through it like candy. It's definitely pricier than the others but so far so good!

Best ice I've had

The Opal 2 makes, hands down, the best crunchy nugget ice available. Never had an ice maker that I looked forward to using like I have with this one. The addition of app control makes it easy to conserve energy and schedule ice when it is needed and conserves power when it isn't.

That good ice!!

I mean, what can I say, an at home ice maker that makes the “good ice”, what's not to love. Pros: makes ice much faster than I was anticipating and the extra side water container is great! Minor con: it's admittedly larger/heavier than I was anticipating (although that's my fault for not reading the description carefully). It ended up in our basement (wanted it in our bar area), but we're still super happy with this purchase!

A must have appliance in our home!

This is our 2nd Opal 2.0 machine. This is a must have appliance in our household and gets a lot of use. It's works as advertised- makes ice very quickly and is easy to operate, BUT it can be laborious to maintain. You HAVE to clean and descale regularly or else you will be disappointed with it. It took me a year to realize this with my first one which lasted about 3 years. I think would have lasted longer had I followed instructions from the start. I would give it 5 stars if upkeep was easier.

Great improvements from original

As an absolute fan of nugget ice we decided to get the 2.0 to replace our sadly broken first generation Opal. The improvements are great such as the side water tank and non leaking front drawer but it's still a pain to clean and takes up a ton of counter space but we will put up with it for that delicious nugget ice!
