Easy to install, easy to clean. Ice comes out in consistent nugget size every time. One note, while it does start making ice within about 30min, I do feel like you need to give it an hour or two before you have a full bucket of ice. Pricey item so if it's not in your budget I wouldn't stretch for it, it's just ice after all. However if you can afford it, it has been such a fun treat and has made each drink more delicious.

I LOVE my opal2.0. It makes perfect, soft nugget ice and it's spoiled me to a point where I no longer like to use any other ice. It's super easy to register, step up, and clean especially when it tells you exactly when it needs to be cleaned to avoid any kind of build up. The manual also comes with a ton of information on the machine.

Got this as a gift for the wife being that she loves her some chick-fil-A ice and this little machine did not disappoint. It was a hit, easy to set up, even though the instructions can be a little confusing but a quick YouTube search and it was a piece of cake. Started making ice in about 20 minutes or so after setup, takes awhile to fill the bin but if you plan ahead or bag it as we do, it's perfect. The machine itself looks nice and sleek, I read some comments that it was a little noisy but for our household it's barely noticeable. The only con I could say about it would be that it's a little pricey but compared to dedicated nugget ice machines that run in the thousands, this fits the bill without having to run any connections or take up valuable space.

Yes - this is the “good ice”! Those who want the crunchy/chewy crystallized ice will be satisfied with the ice this machine makes. Better known as “nugget ice” this machine makes a more pellet shaped ice. The stainless steel is nicely done and the build quality seems on par. This machine is loud when making ice - so this can be annoying in some circumstances. And, there seems to be no internal sustainment refrigeration to keep ice already made from melting (as your full size refrigerator does). Overall, we are currently satisfied with this product/purchase. It's pricey - but for people like us who like this type of ice - it's worth the cost. Now - my title [this is the one] is for 2 reasons. For me - I've had a long history of being disappointed in Products from GE. Therefore, I've moved on to other manufacturers. This is a do or die product purchase for me. If this operates trouble free for a reasonable period of time - I may have to rethink GE and quality. If it doesn't - I'm done. Fingers crossed and hoping this one is a Great One! db

Great quality ice machine! There is a little issue but I can deal with it. The design that the meted ice water goes back into the fill tank is great, except that means when you open to get ice, the condensation on bottom of ice tray drips water all over the counter. Other than that- this makes the best nugget ice!

The ice maker works awesome. Ice is made faster than expected. Pro Tip: Use distilled water. Makes cleaning a breeze and really clear and flavorless ice. Connecting the maker via the app allows it to turn off and on on a schedule saving electricity when not in use. Also, recommend making ice ahead of time and storing it in the freezer if your planning a party

This is my second GE Opal 2 ice maker. The first the ex took lol. My experience with the first Opal was great so I decide to buy another. The Opal works great, and the ice taste great also. It's easy to setup. I love the fact that it use the same water as it melts. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a ice maker

I love this ice maker! We were constantly running out of ice from the freezer and living in Florida, iced drinks are a necessity. It is quiet, efficient, and easy to use. It is also easy to clean. With this great appliance, we all drink more water now. We are so happy with this purchase.

By far the best, although not cheap, investment. If you love sonic ice, this is the machine for you. It barely takes up any counter space, is quiet and quite speedy at making ice! After the sticker shock it has been my best purchase to date, I love it!

We absolutely love having the crunch ice available. We drink so much more water now because of it. Even for our family of 7, it makes the ice fast enough to keep up with our demand. The side tank allows us to limit how many times we have to refill the system.
