Customer Ratings & Reviews

I don’t usually write reviews, but when something this good comes along, I can’t help myself. The GE Opal 1.0 Nugget Ice Maker is, hands down, one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. From the sleek black finish that looks way better than any ice machine has a right to, to the fact that it makes THE BEST nugget ice (you know the kind, soft, chewable, perfect for crunching), this machine is pure magic. First off, setup was a breeze. I thought there’d be a complicated manual or something, but nope—plug it in, fill up the side tank, and within minutes, you’ve got a refreshing, icy treat ready to go. It’s that easy. The side tank makes all the difference, too. No more constant refills, and the ice keeps coming consistently. You’ll never run out of that sweet nugget ice! Now, let’s talk about the speed. It’s surprisingly quick—15–20 minutes and boom, ice. And don’t even get me started on how quiet it is compared to other machines. You’re not waking up the whole house when you grab a cup of ice in the middle of the night. I’ve used it for everything from iced coffee (the best iced coffee ever, seriously) to cocktails, sodas, or just straight-up snacking on ice like it’s candy. I even caught my 12-year-old Raelynn sneaking ice out of it, and she’s picky, so that says something. Honestly, if you’re debating this, stop. Just pull the trigger. It’s not just an ice maker—it’s a lifestyle upgrade. My kitchen has never looked so cool, and my drinks have never been so cold. Don’t wait for Mother’s Day, go treat yourself. You deserve it, and your drinks deserve it too! PS: If I win that $400 gift card, I’m definitely getting more appliances to keep living the dream! Maybe a coffee maker to match the vibe.

Love love love this nugget ice maker, its easy to refill the water and clean, not too loud and it makes the best ice!

I had to replace an ice machine (different brand) so I chose this one. It is absolutely amazing. Works so much better than the other brand I had. I love the side tank and how easy it is to clean. The ice is so much softer as well. I would give it ten stars if I could.

Works great! Has the side tank, which needs to be filled up about every 5-7 days. It continuously keeps ice and we use a lot. Great purchase!

What a wonderful mini ice machine we added to our home. It is quiet, always full and quick to replace ice. It is also sleek and classy and just Gorgeous! This appliance looks like an art piece and is always the talk when these tiny little soft and crunchy pieces of ice pop into refreshments and cocktails.

Nice machine…it is big so make sure you have plenty of counter top space..needs is own section..makes good ice, basket stays when the machine cycles correctly, a few quirky things mine will say add water when it is full so I have to add water in inside under basket..for price the operation should be a little smoother..

Bought this to replace the Opal 2.0 and it’s better IMO

The GE Profile Ice machine has made a wonderful addition to our home. We love how quick it makes the yummy chewable ice! Definitely recommend it!

Best purchase I have made ! This makes ice within 10 mins after plugging it in . The ice is better than Sonic’s ice my kids and wife told me . My Samsung fridges ice maker died and this was a great replacement .

This thing is amazing and makes ice all day, it’s like everyone favorite hospital ice, best gift I ever got my wife, her words not mine.

I have always enjoyed crunching on Sonic, or Wawa, "nugget" ice. When my ice maker went out in the fridge, I picked up this Ice maker as opposed to buying a whole new fridge. We love it. The kids got a kick out of the ice scoop. The only draw back is that with everyone pulling from the ice bucket, we some times have to fill the reservoir once a day.

Amazing it works as designed or better Make sure you follow directions and everything will work flawlessly

Great device wish it was a little quicker at making the first batch of the day. Takes about 2 hours to make a full basket other than that love it if it wasn't for the amount of time it takes to create ice I would give 5 stars

This is an amazing product. Constant ice. A life changer for sure.

This is everything and more! Loving everyone's reaction to having the "good ice". Works exactly as described. We always store some in the freezer and leave a full basket so we never run out. Just make sure to keep up on the cleaning cycles!

Nice ice maker that I’m going to enjoy using once I figure it out

Works perfect! I’ve been wanting one for years and finally got my wish!!!

I love it. The crush ice I like. BestBuy is a great place to buy

makes amazing ice we use it everyday! Great for coffee and soda!

My product is already making loud noises when it try’s to make ice and it sometimes won’t even make ice until I open up the door and it activates the “Making ice” icon . Honestly worst 500$ I’ve ever spent. Just a bad experience.
