Horrible! Had it for about a week and started making the worst noise.....kind of like an animal dying. So disappointing, and of course, sent it back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
We’re so sorry to hear that your new Opal has been making an unexpectedly terrible noise. We know it’s incredibly frustrating when any appliance makes a sound it shouldn’t, but it’s even worse when it’s something so new. We take your feedback seriously; we will work hard going forward to ensure that our icemakers run more quietly and we hope that we can earn your trust back in the future. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and please feel free to reach out with anything you may need. Best regards. -MichaelB@GEA
It would start making ice and then water would start pouring on the ice and melt it all. It was loud and seemed like it was working hard to make ice and then it would all be melted before we could use it. I tried to get ahold of customer service but didn’t hear from them for over a week so I just ended up returning it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Oh no!

We hope that you can give us another chance in the future.
Have a great day, from your friends at GE Appliances. - Tierra@GEA
Out of the box it did not work. Made ice for 40 minutes and then went into defrost mode and stayed there. Customer support was great and replaced this model with the Opal 2.0. 2.0 is working great. I would not recommend the first gen Opal.

Greetings.
We appreciate your time taken to provide us with a review on your Opal icemaker. It is a huge disappointment when you get a brand new appliance, and it does not work the first day owned. This is certainly not the experience we want for you and truly apologize for the frustration of having your icemaker stay in a defrost mode.
It is great to hear that we were able to take care of this by replacing your unit. With your new icemaker working great, we hope to regain your trust back in our brand. It is such a pleasure to have you as part of our GE Appliances family.
Please feel welcome to reach back out to us if there is ever anything you need. We hope you have a great weekend! -Haley@GEA
My whole family loved the ice. I use distilled, filtered water and did the recommended cleaning schedule. However it progressively made louder and louder noises but still made ice quickly. However after 6 mos it made even worse grinding, squeeling noose and then one day it just quit making ice altogether. Ive let it sit in case it was frozen up, run thru multiple cleanings wth vinegar and bleach. But it doesn’t make ice. It comes on and the lights work but it just circulates the water. No ice. I have given up on it. Very frustrating as it only worked for 6 mos and was an expensive purchase. So I guess it was not worth the cost. But when it was working, in spote of the high maintenance and noise, I still thought it was worth it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Product works great and makes great ice. Dropped one star just because it requires a bit of regular maintenance. Nothing hard just tedious but would say it's worth it
I love the ice machine but it quit working after 3 months and I can’t find the correct service provider to assist getting it fixed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
