[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product itself may surprise me but the initial cleaning is the tank was not as detailed with illustrations as much as I think it should. I'm a rather intelligent lady with a college background as well as I feel vetted in having common knowledge and street smarts. But I will say this instruction manual could use some major updates. It made me have to stop and restart the steps over numerous times. It also doesn't tell you that you have to confirm after each cleaning cycle that I want to continue with the cleaning quarters it goes through. The cleaning mode should be a touch and go system instead of causing the user to have to fully dedicate their time standing at the appliance and assist in the cleaning process.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best ice. Even with the small opal sized ice, the ice doesn't melt fast. I like that it does constantly recycle as it sits in the machine. It's not a cheap piece of equipment, but it's definitely worth the investment.

Love this ice machine. I've owned two now as my daughter stole the original one we had when she left hime for good. Then a second one I bought to replace it. They are both still running smooth as ever. Easy maintenance, easy to use, great ice size and great buy all together. The capacity of ice in hand is perfect for a get together or just drinks with friends. Noise is minimal the loudest is barely noticeable and installation is a breeze. Best ice machine on the market! Recommend!

[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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the final product I get from my GE Opal Nugget Ice Maker. Two things I do not love is the noises that it makes and how often it has to be cleaned. But, I would buy it again despite those two things.

This never worked. While trying to set it up and use the cleaning cycle I got the dreaded “add water” message. Look this up. It is a well known thing for this machine. I tried different amounts of water, different locations to make sure the machine was level, etc. No luck. It never made a single cube. Listen to other reviewers when they say this thing is a waste of money!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product works great and produces lots of ice in a short amount of time, however it must be kept clean and descaling often. I am having a problem with the internal float device determining if there's any water in it. We ran several cleaning cycles and let it sit for 18 hours, and this seems to have fixed the issue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the ice and the fact that it is able to keep ice on its own, without having to put it in the freezer once made. However the sounds it makes is crazy. This is our second one after our first one stop working after a little over a year. This one makes some crazy loud grinding noises that cannot be a good thing and I am afraid that this one will break down soon.

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.

big in size but great for entertaining
