I love how it works, when it works. Unfortunately, our first machine was faulty and our refurbished 2nd machine is making a loud hiss sound that sounds like the gears have grinded down and to a halt.
I’d avoid.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Oh no!
We're so sorry that you're having so much trouble with your Opal units. How frustrating this must be. We sincerely apologize, as this is not the experience we desire for you.
The Opal Ice Maker is a complex device that combines electrical and mechanical components such as a compressor, pump, motors and fans to deliver perfect nugget ice. These components power on at different times during the ice making cycle. There will be some noise associated with the running of these components. These normal noises typically cease after 10 to 45 minutes within the ice making cycle. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls and countertops can amplify these sounds. Please see the article below for more information:
this was gifted to us by our kids and it’s the best present ever! Ice is my love language and this machine delivers a lot of love!! It was super easy to set up, runs quietly and does a great job of keeping up in ice production!!
I was so excited to get this ice maker as friends have it and love it. It worked fine for about a week. Then it made awful grinding noises and didn’t produce ice. The side of machine was very hot most of the time. Went round and round attempting to repair but got nowhere. Will not buy again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
