GE Profile - Opal 2.0 38 lb. Portable Ice maker with Nugget Ice Production and Built-In WiFi - Stainless Steel

I Absolutely Love my GE profile ice maker. It makes nugget ice, which is absolutely amazing. I Rate it a 10 out of 10. It's a great for parties, gathering, even the office. I certainly recommended it.

As absurd as this next statement may sound I now understand what people mean when they speak about the "good ice". I won't bore you with all the detailed specs as you could read them on this page or on GE's website but as far as ease of use and speed of ice production, I give this an 11 out of 10 it is something I didn't know I needed so badly that now my family cannot live without.... I haven't quite figured out the best way to display it yet as I really didn't want it to be just sitting on my countertop, although it is aesthetically pleasing enough that if you have no other choice, it's not going to detract from your kitchen/bar area especially compared to other similar ice machine units from other manufacturers, this GE opal, especially in the black stainless steel color really knocks it out of the park and is the best looking unit. The only complaint I would have to give even though as far as I understand this is an issue with all home icemakers is the cleaning process. I literally dread this process and where I live in South Jersey we have it pretty easy water wise as I don't have to de-scale it at all, as there is no hard water build up in machine almost 6 months in. One thing I did notice is that even after just a couple days of use after cleaning it if you feel the bottom of the holding tank (i'm not talking about the extra side tank I'm talking about just the main holding tank under the ice tray) it feels a little too slimy for my comfortability, and I even rigged up the machine so that it runs off of my reverse osmosis system that is re-mineralized (as the reverse osmosis process removes even the healthy minerals) so as an added piece of mind, I purchased the extra filter you can get for like $18 on Amazon that goes in the bottom of that holding tank instead of that little stupid good for nothing square screen and since then I've been able to get away with about 3 to 4 weeks before I have to do a complete clean, which involves completely filling the main holding tank and draining it 3 to 4 times while running a cleaning cycle the first of which includes a teaspoon of just regular bleach. The whole process takes about 30 to 40 minutes and it is not really that bad it's just more of an annoyance, but I'll deal with that small annoyance for the availability of great tasting fresh ice whenever I want it. I find myself drinking than usual and I do not regret this purchase one bit. also, I should mention that this is my second unit as the first unit I purchased broke about five months in and replaced it. No problem after I allowed them to put a $400 hold on my credit card to ensure that I sent back my old malfunctioning unit but since then it has been smooth sailing. Best of luck and congratulations to anybody who purchased it and welcome to the world of the "good ice" hahaha

This ice maker is a GREAT time saver and makes entertaining easy. It never stops making perfect ice nuggets. I can always see how it is doing on the app and it is easy to clean. Whenever someone sees it and has the ice they say they want one too!

I will just say i n c r e d i b l e nugget ice. You wont regret buying. My husband surprised me with this bad boy on Mothers Day ! Spoiled -yes maybe. However i have super sensitive teeth regular ice is to hard for me to eat. I always told him i wanted sonic ice. Now i have it in my own kitchen . The ice stays frozen . The remake of the ice is quick you will be eating that soft , cold , nugget ice in no time - if you buy it.

Had the previous edition which gave us issues so upgraded to this one and so far so good.

Best nugget ice machine out there. Definitely recommend. Make sure you keep up with the maintenance.

The Opal 2 Ice Maker has quickly become the MVP of our kitchen — and, according to my wife, possibly the best gift I’ve ever given her (I’ll take that win!). If you’re a fan of those soft, chewable nugget-style ice cubes that somehow make every drink taste better, this machine is a game-changer. Since bringing it home, it’s been a magnet for family and friends. Every guest who spots it in action asks, “Where did you get that?” — and I’m more than happy to point them in the right direction. Pro tip: shop smart and you can snag it at a great price. In short, the Opal 2 isn’t just an ice maker; it’s a family favorite, a conversation starter, and (if you ask my wife) possibly the greatest appliance of all time. Highly recommend!

Got this for my husband as a Christmas gift. He is obsessed with beverages and ice. This is PERFECT! It makes ice quick and we don’t run out which is amazing. It is more compact than I was expecting it to be which is nice because we do not have a lot of counter space. I do wish I had gotten the side take but I can always add it on. It’s not hard to fill up and you can use the app which is a plus as well.

I am 72-year-old widow, who has purchased several items from Best Buy through the years. From televisions, tablets, gaming systems, etc. the best purchase that I ever made was GE opal icemaker. It may sound silly, but I love using it every single day. Last year my children gifted me the side tank, which made me even happier! Fortunately, I had the extended warranty when recently my icemaker stopped working. I took it to the store and within minutes I had a brand new icemaker. Thank you Best Buy for making this old lady happy !
