Great product

We love this ice maker. It runs 24/7 never any problem with it. Only thing is I wish I would have kept the manual that come with it I didn’t think I’d need it but you really do.
Love the ice

Great ice, crazy noises and not just the motor

The ice is fantastic but I’m 2 weeks in and this thing makes the craziest noises. Very loud strangled mechanical sounds. The motor noise is just fine but there is seriously something wrong with this. I have to turn it off all the time which kind of defeats the purpose of having ice on hand.

    Counter-Top Life Changer

    This is one of the best purchases I've made. Worth every penny. I've used this every day since I have gotten it. I cannot wait until I can host a party and show off this beauty. The ice is a real pleasure. When I ordered it, I felt like I didn't need the side tank but now having used the machine I can't imagine not having it. It makes a real difference. Don't hesitate. Just make the purchase - you won't regret it.

    Love it!

    I love how with this machine you are able to turn on the machine right before you head home from work and have a full container of ice ready for you. I also love side water tank that make the machine last so much longer between refills. 10/10 best nugget ice machine ever!

    Lovvve this Ice

    Amazing machine! Beautiful appearance. Matches all my other GE profile appliances. Ice is perfect for drinks and crunching! I used to buy Sonic ice but now i have it at home. Always fresh! My entire family enjoys the ice too. You will not be disappointed and yes. It’s worth the money.

    Love this machine!

    We absolutely LOVE our ice machine. It was not working for a bit and we PANICKED! No worries we figured out that the side tank was not level and all is well now (Whew). The only reason it does not get 5 STAR is due to the I swine price and the fact that it does make noises that irritate me especially after cleaning cycles. I have owned one other brand and this one is by far the BEST CHOICE! Especially with our Texas heat.

    So far so good!!

    Our recent purchase of the GE Opal ice machine is certainly paying off so far. Our little make has produced ice like a champ. My only complaint, if you can call it one, is it was awkward under kitchen cabinet. Our solution was to move it to wet bar.

    Expensive, but great!

    We love our new ice maker. It's key to have the side reservoir, so you don't have to refill as often. My two hiccups for it would be the price, it's very expensive, and the it doesn't have a holder for the scoop. We just have it sit on top of the machine. It would be nice if it had a slot on the side to slip it into.

    Unbelievable Product!

    I love crunchable ice and have always searched for fast food places with that ice available mainly because I’ve chewed my ice after finishing the drink. Now I don’t have to search for places with that ice in their drinks as I have my own crunchable ice maker. It’s an unbelievable product: quiet, fast icemaking and the bin stays full all day. Best of all, my family enjoys the availability of ice that seems to keep tea and soft drinks colder than cubes.

    Product is ok , manual is useless

    Product came as expected, intact. For a high end GE product could be more seamless, certain aspects are cheap and does not fit properly (base for side tank). Manual for product is useless, you will figure it all with trial and error. They keep deleting my reviews , so seems you will never see a negative review. Will post on social media rather than here of that happens again

    Who doesn’t love Pellet Ice?

    While the ice is great, there is a significant amount of maintenance to keep your ice clean and enjoyable. The ice “bucket” drips condensation on your counter or tray every time you pull it out. Be aware of the size of this thing as in a small kitchen, it would take up a large amount of counter space. The side reservoir, can help you go almost a month on one refill. The app allows you to schedule times to make ice. And ice is coming out about 10 minutes after you start it. And the ice bin can be full in about 3 hours. That is 3 lbs of awesome ice. Setup can be awkward if you go by the instructions, so go find a YouTube video and it is easy. Enjoy your beverages with your favorite ice. You will be glad you got this.

    Love this ice!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been looking to purchase an ice maker for some time now. For a family of 3, this seemed like the best solution. So far, so good! This makes that great soft ice like you get at Sonic so that's a bonus. The only knock is the machine is a tad noisy. Not a big deal when there's allot going on in the house, but when we're relaxing on the couch, it's a bit loud. Love the compact size too! Doesn't eat up allot of counter space.

    Convenient but noisy

    I like how it makes the ice , i don’t like the sounds. It’s louder than the dish washer or as loud. also I should come with auto clean features that do not require undoing the water tubes - that machine is heavy - not easy on my back to move for cleaning. i would recommend BUT it’s very expensive.

    SO FAR - EXCELLENT!

    We've had 4 countertop icemakers over the past 4-5 years. They've all been disappointing as they had sporadic problem and eventually failed. Luckily, we had the extended warranty and they were replaced or our $$ was refunded. THIS GE however, has been a pleasant surprise! It makes ice at a pretty good pace, it's quiet and the side tank is a GREAT feature! You can easily see when it needs water and it's a snap to add! Once in a while it does "squeal" for a minute when it's drawing water from the tak, but that's very brief. Overall, this has been a great machine so far and I'd definitely buy it again!

    Love nugget Ice!

    I was so excited to purchase this ice maker. Works just as advertised. I highly recommend to add on the reservoir tank so you don’t have to refill the water as much. I did have one issue where the reservoir wasn’t drawing the water into the machine but it once I adjusted the water line hose to be more horizontal (as the troubleshooting guide recommended) it began working just fine again. If you are a fan of the nugget ice, you need this machine!

    Never Run Out of Ice!

    I was hesitant in purchasing because of some of the reviews, but decided to do so. I am glad I did. You won't run out of ice ever! The ice is smaller than the "good ice" but it is still like it. I have this machine on day and night (my daughter loves to eat ice). I like to have gatherings and it is perfect when making drinks. You have the option to purchase a filter for it. If you do, make sure that the filter is on correctly or the machine will not make ice. You will have to fidget with the filter until it starts to make the ice. There are also times when I refill the water tank and the "add water" lights up. I just open and close the ice drawer and it starts to make ice. It does make noise but it's not unbearable. I will definitely purch...

    Great Ice Maker

    We previously had a Kitchenaid Ice Maker that was incredibly inferior. The GE profile Opal Ice Maker is far superior, external tank easy to use, and the water filter is exceptional. The ice is perfect and supplements the fridge ice maker. I would recommend to anyone

    Great Product. Great Ice

    Just over three months now, and our ice maker is working perfectly. I was a little hesitant to buy after reading negative reviews about reliability, noisy operation, connectivity, etc, but so far we’ve had none of those issues. We’ve just nothing but distilled water and there has been little or no scale buildup. One gallon of water will last the two of us about 6-7 days, and we use it every day. We love the chewable ice and having good clear ice for our drinks. Haven’t used our refrigerator ice maker since getting this set up.

    Love the Ice Nuggets

    I have had this ice maker for about 2 weeks now and I already hosted my first gathering and it was able to keep up with my ice usage for about 12 guests... Super simple to set up and use and love the fact that I can control it with my phone! I would highly recommend this ice maker to anyone looking for one...

    LOVE our Opal 2.0

    Love our new GE Opal 2.0 Ice Maker! It's a workhorse but is so quiet you won't notice it's running. I love the adjustable lighting option and that the controls have minimal lighting too. It's a sleek design that looks nice on our counter. It's fantastic that it doesn't need its own water supply, giving us more options for placement in our home - such a plus! And the ice - so, so good! We love having this soft ice available all the time. My only warning is be careful when cleaning it not to submerge the bin as water will get into the double-walled front. I think the instructions could have been more clear on this point, but we were able to remedy the issue by removing the handle to drain as much water as possible, let it dry and then replac...

    Finally Took the Leap

    I have coveted this ice maker for some time. I LOVE chewable ice but I was hesitant to spend so much money on myself. Well, I’m worth it! Set up was quick and cleaning isn’t difficult or time consuming. There are 2 things that I wish were in the instruction manual. 1) there is no mention of the optional filter. I buy them from Amazon. I’ve used both the GE brand and the Glacier Bay brand. They seem to both last about 2 months. 2) I battled to set up the WiFi. I foolishly guessed I should use the Opal app but I eventually learned from reading a blog about something else that the Opal app is only for blue tooth. The correct app is called SmartHQ. The app is helpful as you can set a schedule and it tells you when the ice maker needs ...
