Finally bit the bullet and bought a "real" countertop ice maker. This thing is awesome, makes lots of ice and just overall seems well made. It looks great on my counter. Once you get passed the price, you will not regret this purchase. I paid extra to get the side storage reservoir and the color that matches our current GE appliances! You really have to read the instructions to set it up properly to clean it. Make sure you use Distilled water in any countertop icemaker, I learned that with my old little one. Buy it!

[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.

I received this ice maker as a Christmas gift from my son and daughter best Christmas gift ever. I am always having to buy ice from grocery store or gas station and buy the time you get home it is already melting. This causes it to refreeze and then you have to break it up to use it. I love how easy it is to fill glasses with the enclosed scoop. It looks nice sitting on counter. The easy to fill side tank makes a endless supply of yummy nugget ice always accessible. Also this ice makes for a good ice pack for a injury or boo boo for kids. Since the nuggets are small and not heavy and sharp like typical ice cubes. I would definitely recommend this ice maker to anyone who uses ice daily. I also ordered the magnetic scoop holder accessory it attaches to the side of the ice maker making it even more streamlined.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our second Opal ice maker, this version is much quiter and fiils the ice nearly twice as fast. The side tank is a godsend and the unit is very easy to clean. The only problem is that when someone fills a glass, the dog wants to munch some too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family and I have enjoyed the ice maker. Even when our friends and family come over they want ice in their drinks! The ice maker is constantly making ice, it's a quiet machine, installation was quick and had easy to read instructions. I recommend everyone to have in their home.

I have had the original GE Opal in my home for almost four years. I ordered the Opal 2.0 because it is advertised as 14.75 tall, and it should fit under my cabinets on my countertop. The 2.0 is actually 16.25 tall and will not fit on my countertop by a half inch. I am incredibly disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really hoping for faster ice production with the cost of this machine. I'm on day two with the machine and it's slightly better than the first day. I do love the ice though, the size is perfect and great for iced coffee!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this nugget ice maker in September 2025 and it's now October 2025 and I still Love ❤️ my ice maker. I live in Texas hard water we definitely have,so I only use distilled water in my ice maker, I still follow all cleaning instructions the same, it's so quiet sometimes I forget I'm making ice and it's on all day or night. Now I leave the light on to remind me I'm making ice 🧊. You can hear the ice drop when it starts to produce because there's nothing in it yet, but once it starts to fill you don't really hear it. It holds so much ice in one sitting and if you leave it on and the bin is full it will keep your ice and fill your cup right from it. Mine is in black stainless, it's Sooo pretty!I love this nugget ice maker 😍 I give it 5 🌟 's

Had a different brand nugget ice maker for a few years and it suddenly stopped working recently. It was also really loud when you first turned it on. The Opal ice maker is so much nicer, faster, and prettier. It also has a separate filter you change out and has the app that goes with it. It's not as heavy as the other one (which matters because I have to move mine closer to the sink to clean) and easier to clean. Yea it cost more but worth it. You get what you pay for. Chefs kiss.

[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
