I love the Ice from this machine but the light ring is difficult to tell the different settings. I know it has multiple light settings but the button and determining if the light ring is pulsing or spinning. It also has to be cleaned often or it will stop making ice, which is a hassle.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Had to replace ice maker within the first two weeks of getting ice maker because it didn’t work from the first day. That replacement last two months before we started having problems. Cleaned it good worked finest for about a month still having problems that it’s not working now. Spent a lot money on it to be a counter weight now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
We’re so sorry to hear that you’ve had so many issues with your Opal and have had to have it replaced once already, only for it to fail again. We know this is incredibly frustrating and is not the experience we want or expect from our products. The best thing to do in this situation is to reach out directly to the Opal support team. They can be reached by phone at 1-866-907-6718, Monday-Friday 8a-8p EST. Alternatively, you can fill out the form at the site linked below and someone will reach out to you.
Great machine. Makes ice in about 20 minutes. Pellet ice is great! Only reason for 4 star rating ice maker is a bit noisy. Probably best to use this as a secondary ice maker for a party or have in a bar maybe away from a main kitchen or sitting area. Still highly recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello there,
We’re so glad that you’ve been enjoying your outstanding Opal and the delicious nugget ice that it produces, but we’re sorry to hear that the unit has been louder than you expected; we know a noisy appliance can be frustrating. We take your feedback seriously and will work to improve noise levels on future Opals. We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave us your feedback and please feel free to reach out with anything you may need. Have a great day! -MichaelB@GEA
Love the ice it produces. It is perfect for someone who like to chew on ice. Soft ice but still solid and lasts in an insulated container for well over a day. It is also nice that as the ice that melt it recycles the water into new ice. So I haven't had to worry about it turning into a big chunk of ice.
