SO MUCH MORE ICE
on November 12, 2020
Posted by: Harmon Bar
from Lenoir City, TN
We have owned other ice makers that didn’t hold half the ice and certainly not the nugget / Sonic type ice. This is far superior. Constant hum while making ice but much quieter than fans on other models. 100% pleased with the purchase!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

So happy with this choice!

After much research, I chose the GE nugget ice maker and I am extremely happy. Other reviews mentioned it being noisy, but our unit is very quiet...similar to the noise our refrigerator makes. Once the set up was complete, ice was made very quickly and it was exactly as advertised. The unit is larger than expected and does not fit under our upper cabinets.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great machine.

Prior to purchase, I made daily trips to Sonic for the ice. This machine saves me from making that trip. it is easy to set up and the app allows me to start the machine while I am getting ready for work.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nearly Perfect Ice Maker
on December 2, 2020
Posted by: Schizzle91
from Lexington, KY
Just because the machine isn't perfect, doesn't mean it doesn't make perfect ice. It is 5 stars in my book, and it is the best on the market. Although I may be nitpicking, there are a few improvements that keep it from achieving perfection.
CONS:
1. It is a high maintenance machine. The manual suggests that you clean it once per week. Nobody really has time for that. It is more of a tedious process than strenuous one, since the machine has a (somewhat) automatic clean cycle. However, this requires a great deal of clean water to rinse and seems wasteful.
2. The machine is a bit bulky, and for the most part, lacks feet on the bottom. The feet exist, it just would have made cord management easier if they were a bit taller.
3. It can be a bit noisy when making ice, but quiets down once it gets going. It doesn't bother me, all refrigeration products are going to make noise.
4. I personally don't care about this one but...don't buy this if you are concerned about wifi/app capabilities. I have yet to get the machine to pair with my phone using the app and wifi, so I'm not sure it even works. I'm not too sure why it is even necessary, but I don't have any use for it. But it is still a con if it is supposed to work, and yet, it doesn't.

PROS:
1. Perfect nugget ice. I was hesitant about buying this (expensive) machine due to the fact I wasn't too sure it could make as good of nugget ice as restaurants/hospitals. It 100% does. The promo videos make it look soft and barely frozen. This machine makes hard and crunchy goodness that keeps frozen in the bin all day long.
2. Makes ice consistently and fast. You will have ice constantly as long as you keep the water tank replenished.
3. The front-viewing bin lets you see how much ice is accumulated and simply makes it look nice on the counter top. It pulls out nicely for easy access.

Even though it is pricier than most ice makers this size, this machine is worth it if you want perfect nugget ice from a well crafted machine. It does what it is supposed to and has lived up to the hype thus far. Nugget ice makes everything better; water, cocktails, or even plain old ice munching.

Greatest counter top ice maker we’ve ever had.

Th Opal 2.0 ice maker is a fabulous little ice maker. Dishing out wonderful small pellets of ice that we love putting in our drinks and water bottles. The device is not difficult to maintain, but make sure you clean it regularly or the machine will begin to make angry whirring and squeezing noises during the defrost cycle. Don’t blame the machine, turn it off and follow the cleaning instructions and it will happily start working again with its minor whirs and gear sounds making ice again. .
