Expensive but worth it!

It was an expensive ice machine but I'm very happy with it. We had an older style ice machine and it just couldn't keep up. This one makes plenty of ice for a family of four. I love the consistency of the ice and it makes new ice fast! It's quieter than our old machine but not completely silent. I would definitely recommend it if you use ice all day everyday like we do.

Returning - Is extremely loud.

The ice maker is extremely loud, to the point it sounds like something is broken.

Loved it… while it worked

We loved our ice machine while it worked. It was easily the favorite thing in our house. Every one of us used it every single day. I was in charge of the maintenance of the machine and I was meticulous with it. I cleaned the machine faithfully on schedule and we always used distilled water. Then one day it just stopped working. I followed all the instructions on what to do for what the possible issues could be but nothing worked. We are all so disappointed. For the cost of the machine this should not be happening. And then to not be able to get it worked on or repaired anywhere is frustrating.

GE Opal Nugget ice Maker

This ice machine has been wonderful and user friendly. It produces very well. My family has loved having it for convenience. Low noise levels, and easy to integrate with your kitchen appliances without looking off.

Great ice maker!

We used to run out of ice everyday, now we never do! It works like a champ and keeps the bin full of ice. The extra water tank is such a time saver. The machine looks great on the countertop!

Crap

Doesn’t work very well. I only used distilled water. It’s been turning off randomly. Already had issues with the water filter clogging the flow of the machine giving me an “add water” error when everything is full.

Quiet and functional

I had another lesson expensive brand and it was noisy and I was constantly filling it. This machine is amazing. Quiet and makes great ice.it is a large machine but for everything it is and does , well worth it.

Great when it works

When the product works correctly it is great. 1 st one started making a squealing noise after 4 months. Received replacement that would not make ice at all. Have received 2 nd replacement that makes ice but not as well as first, some nuggets and a lot of slivers. Would return this one also, but working with the return department was difficult so I am just going to live with what I got.

We would like to help with your Opals ice not coming out solid. When you first start the Opal and it begins to make ice, the initial batches of ice nuggets will be slushy. After about 30 minutes, your Opal Ice Maker will make good, solid nuggets. There is an article on our website with more information you can view at the link here:https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=39641&_gl=1*. We also suggest using distilled water in your Opal Icemaker. It’s important to note that distilled water is different from bottled water, reverse osmosis water, filtered water, or spring water. All these other options contain varying levels of minerals that can build up in the unit and impede optimal operation. Using distilled water reduces the frequency of descaling and cleaning. Using our scale-inhibiting filter, part P4INKSFLTR, is designed to increase the time between cleanings and reduces the solidification of scale. Another thing to check is making sure there is at least 4” of clearance in the back, on both sides, and above the Opal to allow proper air flow so that the fan can move air about the unit.

Great but needs work.

I would give it five stars because of the quality and amount of ice it makes except the design of the machine where the buttons are is poorly designed. Also the cleaning button constantly flashes. With the GE app there is no way reset it after descale it. Ice is great, design needs improvement.

We'd like to assist with the cleaning button frequently flashing. We recommend performing a full clean and descale cycle for your unit. You can find instructions here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=000060634. If the light is still flashing, we suggest trying an electronic reset, by unplugging the unit for 2-3 hours, then plugging it back in. We will be passing your comments about the controls over to our app design team to review.
