Other reviews are right: it's easy to set up, makes great ice, and plenty of it. Only downside is it is a bit noisy. Just a background hum when the house is silent. But certainly noisier than a fridge ice maker. Also. Needs PLENTY of counter space!

This is my second Opal. I had an original Opal that failed, I have had this one up and running for a month with no issues. I look forward to get ice for a long tie to come.

Nice little unit makes great ice. A few days in it randomly starts to make a loud squeaking sound. Sounds like a pump or maybe a belt inside? Anyway, not worth the high price in all honesty.

Love the ice, it is quick and tastes great. HATE the noise, it is so loud, consistently. She has been named Myrtle. This is our second Opal. We hoped the noise was just a bad machine, but the second one is just as bad as the first.

WE LOVE OUR OPAL ICE MAKER. ICE IS MADE QUICKLY. NOT TOO LOUD. I DID GIVE MYSELF ANOTHER JOB HAVING TO FILL THE WATER JUG FROM THE FILTERED REFRIGERATOR WATER. MY WATER JUG IS NOT RIGHT NEXT TO THE ICE MAKER-THE WATER LINE IS LONG ENOUGH.

It can be a little noisy at times, but our family is loving it down stair at our basement bar. I think my mother in law is going to purchase one also for there house.

It makes ice just like Sonic or other places with crushed ice. Pretty easy to keep from running out each day. Would highly recommend if you like crushed ice!

Yes, this little device makes a little noise. The more it has been used the less noise it makes, or maybe we don't hear it anymore. Regardless, this is worth every penny. We absolutely love the ice and yes I would recommend it.

I got this appliance for Christmas. The ice is wonderful, but several times now the “cleaning” light is on, I mean for hours!! I unplug it and wait a few moments, plug it back in and the message goes away. Is that normal?

My wife and daughter absolutely LOVE this ice machine because we can use pure water to make the ice instead of buying it from some restaurant knowing it would be contaminated then. And of course, happy wife, HAPPY LIFE!!!
