Great for Renters!
on July 20, 2026
Posted by: AbigailV
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who rents their home, I have no control over the appliances that are in my kitchen. As a result, I have an older refrigerator that does not have an ice maker, and have to manually make ice every day. This machine is a game changer!
The assembly was relatively easy with the in-app guide. However, I did need to utilize the YouTube video they created for one of the steps. Additionally, I like that the app tells you the status of the machine and when the filter needs to be cleaned. It even allows you to choose the color and brightness of the ice maker!
I enjoy this product on a daily basis and am glad to have it. However, if I were to buy it with my own money, it would need to be at a reduced cost. Otherwise, you might as well just upgrade to a new refrigerator.

Make sure you download the smartHQ app before setup.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everyone knows that chewable nugget ice is the superior ice, that’s why this GE Opal Mini Pro Nugget Ice Maker is the perfect addition to everyone’s home. Since it has a side water tank, you also never run out of nugget ice! The mini pro is smaller than the traditional opal pro nugget ice maker so it occupies significantly less space and you can put it just about anywhere. We have ours in our laundry room nearby our drink fridge, so making cold drinks has never been easier. Make sure you download the SmartHQ app before setting this machine up because the initial QR code brings you to a video on how to set up the traditional full size opal pro ice maker and the process is slightly different. After running a clean cycle with bleach water mixed with 2-3 rinse cycles, I was ready to make some nugget ice! Within 15 minutes, I already had a few scoops worth in my ice bin and was able to test it out immediately. This machine seriously changed our iced coffee game and I love having some chewable ice on hand at all times now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this ice maker because it is very easy to use and starts producing ice relatively quickly The nuggets ice has an excellent texture for drinks and maintains a good consistency The side tank is very convenient as it reduces how aften l have to refill the water Plus its modern design looks great in the kitchen and doesn’t take up too much space Overall it offers very good performance and capacity for daily use

We are also in love with the delicious nugget ice this unit produces, it makes almost every drink even tastier. The side tank is one of our favorite features, as it allows the unit to make ice for an even longer period of time. Another amazing feature is the SmartHQ integration, which allows you to schedule ice production and receive maintenance updates all from your device.

Eh I’m not sure about this one
on July 16, 2026
Posted by: SamanthaB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have mixed feelings on this one. The ice itself is chewable and it makes ice at a good rate. However, it arrived with zero instructions on how to set it up. You had to scan a QR code to go watch a video, which didn’t show the biggest step - how to connect the hose and the tank! It’s also rather loud for how small it is. Overall I’m not sure I’d pay for it full price.

We will be passing your comments about the set up over to our product team to review. You can also view instructions for set up by checking the user manual located here: https://images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--Dku84pZN--/f190e45ba5ba2f271d2cfb07d4018437ab0c038d.pdf.
The Opal 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 sounds associated with the running of these components. These sounds typically cease after 10 to 45 minutes within the ice making cycle. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls and countertops can amplify these sounds.

Perfect crunchy nugget ice
on July 13, 2026
Posted by: TuN4
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive been using this ice maker and absolutely love it. It makes soft, crunchy nugget ice in just minutes, and the ice is perfect for water, soda, coffee, and cocktails. The compact design doesn’t take up much counter space.

Easy Setup, Makes Nugget Ice Quick!
on July 13, 2026
Posted by: KamerynB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nugget ice maker is absolutely amazing! Not only was it a super easy setup but it was pretty much full of ice after only an hour. I love how quickly it makes ice, that’s super important to me. I love the size of it as well, it’s perfect when you may not have too much counter space. It’s super easy to clean as well and drains very easily. The filter comes out very easily as well which is a huge plus. I love that you can also use the side tank to fill it with water or also just use the tank it has internally, depending on either how much counter space you have or how long lasting you want it to be. I am definitely so excited to have this, I love nugget ice so much!
