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!

I have only had the machine working for a week. Having a little trouble with cleaning light staying on all the time. Could not turn off the machine when defrosting light was on. I went to breaker in garage turned off ice maker that way. Past two days screaming sound coming from machine. After turning off breaker last night it has worked fine all day. Maybe by turning off power to ice maker it reset something. Get back to me in two weeks and I will Let you know if problems still exists

My wife and I are obsessed with this machine. As the title suggests, we are thrilled with the ice. The only thing I did not understand is why an ice machine needed to have wi-fi. The answer is it doesn't. We hooked up the wi-fi several days after starting the operations, and that's when the machine started screwing up, not making ice when it was needed, or saying “add water” when the side tank was completely full. We disconnected the wi-fi and all is well in the world again. Highly recommended.

This little ice machine is worth every penny I paid for it. It makes ice that's just like those fast food places that's the soft ice nuggets and it doesn't take it long at all to fill the container up. I've had mine since 10/1/23 and it has continuiously supplied me with ice all day and night. It's so easy to use and it's the best product I've bought in a long time. Never disappoints.

We have loved our GE nugget ice maker so far. We have had it for about a month, and it works great. It's easy to clean, and to be able to drain the water after cleaning it. I love that it can light up, so you can see in there, if you need to get ice when the kitchen light is off. It makes the best chewable ice, that keeps your drinks so cold!

My husband is a devoted ice-chewer, and we agreed to always buy a cheap version of an item before getting the creme de la creme so to speak. After our cheap ice maker broke we bit the bullet and purchased this item. Although it takes up far more counter space in an apartment than I'd like, it truly has become a staple in our home and it has actually encouraged us both to stay more hydrated throughout the day. I like that it doesn't have to be running all day everyday and I think the app is user friendly. The lighting is aesthetically pleasing and the machine is relatively quiet.

Very pleased with capacity, speed and most importantly taste of the ice! We use a lot of ice for a small family and neither our old countertop machine nor our refrigerator machine (when it worked) could keep up with this model. The side tank makes a great machine even better!

I received this ice maker free through an amazon program for an honest review. This ice maker is great. I love the size of the ice nuggets. They aren't too hard but very crunchy & don't hurt my teeth. The machine uses alot of water. I don't use tap water only bottled water. I guess you can use the tap because there is a filter but I don't like the taste of it. I really like the wifi setting. I can start making the ice when I'm on my way home from work or upstairs through the app. Just make sure you have water in the tank or the reserve tank. The only downfall is the cleaning. Which needs to be done every week & the app will let you know it needs to be clean. That takes about 20 to 30 mins because you have to use bleach to cycle through the machine then you need to use water to cycle through the machine about 4 to 5 times to flush it out.

I have been pondering this purchase for about 3 years. I waited too long! I should have ordered it 3 years ago. I love this ice machine. It is VERY quiet, very efficient in making ice and very easy to use. This machine does not take up very much space and is very attractive on my countertop. When I brag to others about my ice machine, I find out that others that have also purchased this unit are extremely happy with it, too. I have yet to find anyone that I know that dislikes this ice machine!

Every time I had more than two people in the house, I found myself asking someone to bring ice. Finally, I decided to get this ice machine. Though I plan to have electricity added in my pantry this summer so I don't have to have the machine on the kitchen counter, for now we are using it on the counter. We love the ease of maintaining is and we love the ice.
