I have really enjoyed how quickly this icemaker is able to produce ice and it is very quiet!!!! I love the side water chamber and the amount of ice that is produced with very little water. The fact that it automatically switches to producing ice when some is removed is a nice feature. It does require frequent cleaning so I would recommend placing it near a sink for easy drainage.

I ordered the Opal Ice Maker in May/June. 10 minutes after starting the ice making process the machine began to make this loud noise. It makes the noise for as long as it is performing the ice making function. The noise was tolerable in the beginning but now i can only set the ice making function for when I'm not home. I love the machine but could really do without the, as my daughter calls it, the jackhammer noise. I never complained because i feel it would have been more of a hassle to return the product since it was shipped to my home and not purchased at a brick and mortar. But now the noise is just unbearable.

We are absolutely loving the icemaker. It has the small, pebble-like ice that we like. My family goes through ice like there is not tomorrow...with the side bin for water this machine keeps up quite nicely. It fills the ice bin quickly and I have a routine where I refill the water bin before I go to bed at night. The machine does make some quirky noises but it specifically states that it does in the instructions. Most of the time we don't even notice it. It is aesthetically pleasing and looks good on the counter...kind of tucked into the corner out of the way. I would definitely recommend this product and would buy it again.

My only complaint about the GE Ice Maker is that while it's making ice there is a terrible squeaking noice that it makes that gets my dogs attention and causes him to absolutely freak out. If you can ignore that, it's a great product and would absolutely recommend!

So far it is working great. The quick start up was a little confusing. It came with a filter but it doesn't mention anywhere about installing a filter. When I use the machine the white filter light is flashing but I don't exactly know what it means

I have had several countertop ice makers in the past and decided to finally invest in a nugget ice maker. The set up took a little longer than expected, but it was well worth it! Makes ice quickly and holds a great amount. The side tank is great, not requiring constant filling and it is easy to see when water is needed. There is also an indicator for when it needs to be cleaned. So glad I invested in a good ice maker!

We bought this based on reviews and how much ice it could make. We were drawn to the self clean feature and good overall looks of the unit. 1st off it has great ice and everyone who comes over loves it. It has some nice features such as the ability to set use times which is very convenient. The only downside to this unit is the squeaking noise that sounds like a dead donkey that it makes abut 3-4 times a day. Very annoying and embarrassing when people are over. It seems this is an issue with a lot of others as well. We have been using it for about 4 months and I think I would buy it again if the noise would go away for good. Love the ice hate the noise.

I could never find what I wanted, when it came to the nugget ice maker and tried different brands and pricepoints - I finally realized this was the product I was looking for when at a friend's house and saw his. Looks good on the counter, easy to care for, produces ice faster than any other brand and maintains the ice when not running. It is perfect. I think it is the only perfect appliance I have ever purchased.

Easy to set up. Easy to clean. I love the function of being connected to your phones to receive notifications when needed cleaning. Probably the best function from this product. Highly recommend to those who need an ice machine for their apartments. Small enough to fit on the counter without being bulky or taking up too much space.

This ice maker was a Christmas gift from my parents. Even though the complex I live in at the moment has an ice machine down the hall, they know how much I love the ‘good ice' since I'll be moving to Mississippi Gulf Coast in the summer. The only thing is it shows there to be a tray that comes with it — there wasn't one in the box when I opened it :( I put a tray under it but it's not the right size for the side kick reservoir to fit where it should go.
