GE Profile Opal 2.0 XL with 1 Gallon Tank, Chewable Crunchable Countertop Nugget Ice Maker, Scoop included, 38 lbs in 24 hours, Pellet Ice Machine with WiFi & Smart Connected, Stainless Steel

Purchased 03/24 and writing review in 05/25.Pros: Makes ice fast; Perfect-sized nuggets; Extra water tank is essential when you have friends over; Easy to clean and maintain, which is essential for proper operationCons: Can get noisey; Requires cleaning just about every 21-25 days, regardless of water type (tap, filtered, distilled); Does impact you electricity bill (but totally worth it).Overall: 5 stars...one of the best kitchen gadget purchases we have ever made. We have experimented with different water types to determine impact to overall operation, length of time between cleanings, and flavor of ice...all negligible. We just use tap water now, and gave up on the hassle of distilled water delivery. Pro tip - when it says to clean it, do it and don't wait. 4 cycles (1 with bleach, 3 without) takes an hour and keeps this thing purring along.

I regret purchasing this item and should have returned it immediately. I took a chance because my wife and daughters love nugget ice, and I trusted the GE brand to deliver quality. Unfortunately, it was a mistake.From the start, setup was a nightmare. The machine was stuck in self-clean mode during the initial setup, which took a lot of effort to resolve. Once it started working, the ice maker did produce nugget ice as advertised, but it was extremely noisy from the beginning—and the noise only worsened over time.Maintenance was another hassle. Cleaning the machine was cumbersome and needed to be done frequently to keep it running. Then, just 14 months after purchase, the machine completely stopped making ice. The warranty only covered the first year, and GE's only solution was to send a repair technician—at my expense—costing hundreds of dollars. For such an expensive product, I expected better warranty support, but I was left disappointed.In frustration, I scrapped the GE machine and purchased a Frigidaire Gallery Nugget Ice Maker for a quarter of the price. The Frigidaire has been fantastic—it's quieter, easier to use, and even includes an onboard water tank.Bottom line: DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON GE! It’s disheartening to see how far the quality of their products has declined. Thomas Edison and J.P. Morgan must be rolling in their graves.

This is ridiculously expensive but I bought it used (like new) and on sale.Pros: It's quieter than our white noise machine, makes fresh ice faster than you'd believe possible, and that ice is the best, most delicious stuff on the planet.Cons: It takes up a lot of counter space, takes a bit of work to put together, and my dog no longer wants room temperature water.Neutral: No issues with durability, hasn't broken down or anything, bought 6 months ago.

OK if you live in an RV, we all know most don’t have room for ice or to make ice in our freezers. We might be limited on counter space as well, so I have to say my RV friends. This icemaker might take a little extra room but it it’s worth every inch of space! It makes ice so quickly. I only have to run it for short periods of time to bag the ice to put in the freezer. Don’t hesitate to buy the appliance. It’s best on the market for the RV Life.

I've only had this for a day, so who knows maybe the review will get updated overtime but so far it's a hit. As someone who's bought a few different icemakers from a few different places trying to get that sonic quality chew without buying an actual sonic machine it's been touching go. We've done all right with the other units but they typically last a season maybe two and then they die so I finally saw this on sale for prime day and decided to bite the bullet and as my wife puts it it's as close as you'll get to that sonic ice without spending thousands and I think she's right my kids are thrilled. My wife is thrilled very happy with the whole thing. Seems to hold plenty of ice and plenty of water, especially with the side reservoir. The quality of ice is great although I would say that's gonna very depending on your water source so your mileage may I think the box quoted 10 minutes but if you look it actually takes closer to 30 or 45 after your first being connected, which is not awful. It's just a point to note otherwise everything works great. I will say this is far larger than I thought so make sure you have the ample counter space for it both in height and width. We had to do a fair amount of rearranging to clear space for this. I'm not gonna knock it down for that. I should've probably looked at the dimensions before I bought it but even so we made it fit. It's all good. I will update this review if necessary.
