This unit is my third GE countertop ice maker. The unit appears to have many upgrades. The scale inhibiting filter, air filter, and enhanced control panel. I use nothing but distilled water in my units and follow the cleaning instructions on a monthly basis. We will see if this unit makes it more than 18 months.
The design and performance was really complete in the beginning. However, the lighted instructions on the front were always malfunctioning. (ex. when it says needs more water, the reserve tank was full. Then when says making ice was not. Says to sanitize when I sanitized a week before as the instructions said with new filter. The capacity and noise level was just fine for us.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We'd like to help out with the indicators not going away. We recommend trying out an electronic reset, to help with the controls. This can be done by unplugging the power cord for 2-3 hours, then plugging it back in.
You can also check out the following steps here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=000062435 for situations when the water well is full and not producing ice.
This is my second opal ice maker, the first one was destroyed along with my house by a tornado. I really love my opal ice maker! Makes the best chewable ice, better than Sonic's ice. I noticed my second unit has some improvements, glad to see them. The only negative I can say is if you don't have counter space to place it by a sink to drain it, be prepared to pick it up, it's a bit heavy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are in love with our Opal ice makers and we are happy that you are sharing your experience with your new unit! To help you get the most out of your ice maker we recommend only using distilled water to help reduce the potential for mineral buildup. You can find more information on pages 7 to 9 of the owner's manual here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--ICQ21ZKI--/dc06c26a71060819d54b8d9bf6c53eb64be9dce9.pdf. We are glad
Do not buy, makes terrible sounds. Support says it needs 8 inches or clearance all around including the top which means it won't fit on a counter or under the cabinets. They also said to remove the new filters it comes with. Terrible design.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We would like to review your situation further and have sent you an email with additional information.
I’m addicted to my ge nugget icemaker! Use it everyday and LOVE it. First saw at a friend’s home and immediately bought one for my place as soon as I came home. It’s wonderful—quiet, easy, delicious ice improves every beverage (including iced coffee!), great looking, A+ on all counts. Capacity is plentiful for small family or singles.
