Too noisy & not worth the high price.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely noisy. The ice clumps together because it is an able to keep it cool once made. I could hear it from my bedroom all night. I eventually returned it.

Great present.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband has been wanting this ice maker for years and it has not disappointed. Great ice, easy to use. It does make noise when making ice, but otherwise is a perfect addition to the kitchen.

Its great until its not working
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its great while its working and once it stops, its a big expensive counterspace taker. Opal support is not good when dealing with the infamous "Defrost" issue - once you experience it, your days of beautiful nugget ice are over.

Posted .Hello- We are very sorry to hear you've had this experience. We can understand how upsetting this is for you and will be certain to share this with our engineering and design teams. What is not normal is if your Opal Ice Maker is going into Defrost mode too frequently (ex. every day), or if it goes into Defrost but there are no audible sounds indicating that the auger is frozen. If this happens, it's highly likely the air vents are blocked. If the water well is filled to the upper fill line and no ice is being produced, please perform this simple test: 1. Please start the Opal and switch to cleaning mode. Don't forget to detach the side tank. 2. Remove the screen/filter at the bottom corner of the reservoir, exposing the small white rubber inlet used for water circulation. 3. Make certain that the Opal is not connected to the phone app and that the water well is filled to the upper fill line with distilled water. 4. Remove the ice bin and press the button to see if the Opal pumps water. This could take up to 5 minutes to start. 5. Plug the small inlet with your finger for 10-15 seconds to create a vacuum within the pump/circulation system. 6. Release the plug and wait a minute or until you see water movement. 7. If you do not see a change, you may want to repeat these steps a couple of times. Note: If you see water movement, please switch to ice mode and run for 30 minutes. **You may also need to prime your pump so try using a Turkey Baster/Injector and gently fill the hose that doesn't go to the side tank with water, and then restart the machine. We hope this helps! Joyce@GEAppliances

Decent personal use ice maker
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent ice maker for low quantities. No more than 1 person/day. Would be better if it could be hooked up to a constant water source.

GE Opal 2. Junk
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Received opal 2 within 48h of ordering. Unboxed, completed setup. Water pouring uncontrollably out of bottom. Poor quality control. Internet search reveals lots of issues with quality. Buyer beware.
