Very loud!
I purchased this ice maker and received it 5/22/26. I has worked fine with perfect ice! Problem on day 2. It is so loud! Something is wrong on the inside. When researching issues it says buildup, tube blockage and hard water. That cannot be the reason since its brand new. I did the initial cleaning as the book stated, turned on and it started working fine. But after 2 days there is no way it could be build up. At first the noise lasted about a minute, now as I write this we are going on 10 min of noise, and its not just a little inconvenience, I will have to shut the machine off so we can sleep tonight.

We recommend ensuring you have a minimum of 4" of air clearance on all sides and back for your Opal. Also make sure the vent openings on the side are not blocked in any way. We recommend using distilled water in your Opal to help reduce the potential for mineral build-up. It is recommended you follow the instructions the Owners Manual for descaling and sanitizing. Additional information is available in the online manual - https://images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--ICQ21ZKI--/dc06c26a71060819d54b8d9bf6c53eb64be9dce9.pdf.

Not as good as the older model
This machine makes more slush than ice. It also starts at random times making an excruciating loud noise for a long time. We have to unplug it in order for it to stop. Definitely returning it.

Best possible ice you can have at home.
We waited a long time for this ice maker to come through development and into production and it was well worth the wait. The quality of the ice made with this product is absolutely outstanding. This is the second unit we’ve owned as our original one died after 4 years of continuous service. We now can’t live without one and our whole family thoroughly enjoys it daily.

Terrible product!
Second GE profile and this upgraded version is even worse than the first. Makes a horrible squealing sound and then loud banging. Bought the extended warranty and GE still won’t stand by their product. Don’t waste your money! Have had 3 months and wish I wouldn’t have bought it.

Opal review
On my second one as the first opal I received only lasted 60 days before it starting screaming whenever it turned on. Was replaced under warranty. Have had my second unit less than 30 days. Is working but didn’t even use for 3 days when the sanitize light came on. After 2 weeks it says it needs a new filter. I have a water softener and osmosis system so unsure why the unit constantly needs to be sanitized and a new filter so soon. I think the manufacturer needs to work the kinks out of these units. I enjoy the ice but am skeptical about how long this second unit is going to last. These should be perfect for the high cost

We’d like to provide information about your Opal, and address these issues. Regarding sanitizing, we recommend following the cleaning instructions and schedule described in the manual to help ensure the Opal is performing optimally. Care and cleaning information starts on page 7, and the manual can be viewed here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--ICQ21ZKI--/dc06c26a71060819d54b8d9bf6c53eb64be9dce9.pdf. We suggest only using distilled water in your Opal to help reduce the potential for mineral buildup. Using vinegar in the descaling cycle can help break up minerals as well. It’s important to note that distilled water is different from bottled water, reverse osmosis water, filtered water, or spring water. All of these other options contain varying levels of minerals that can build up in the unit and impede optimal operation. Using distilled water will reduce the frequency of descaling and cleaning. Using a scale-inhibiting filter will help to increase the time between cleanings and reduce the solidification of scale. Generally, we recommend replacing the water filter approximately every three months. We’ll be reaching out over email to discuss your situation further; we look forward to hearing back from you. We’re confident the new Opal will serve your needs well going forward, and for a long time to come.

New Features
This unit is my third GE countertop ice maker. The unit appears to have many upgrades. The scale inhibiting filter, air filter, and enhanced control panel. I use nothing but distilled water in my units and follow the cleaning instructions on a monthly basis. We will see if this unit makes it more than 18 months.

disappointed
The design and performance was really complete in the beginning. However, the lighted instructions on the front were always malfunctioning. (ex. when it says needs more water, the reserve tank was full. Then when says making ice was not. Says to sanitize when I sanitized a week before as the instructions said with new filter. The capacity and noise level was just fine for us.

We'd like to help out with the indicators not going away. We recommend trying out an electronic reset, to help with the controls. This can be done by unplugging the power cord for 2-3 hours, then plugging it back in. You can also check out the following steps here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=000062435 for situations when the water well is full and not producing ice.

Great chewable ice!
This is my second opal ice maker, the first one was destroyed along with my house by a tornado. I really love my opal ice maker! Makes the best chewable ice, better than Sonic's ice. I noticed my second unit has some improvements, glad to see them. The only negative I can say is if you don't have counter space to place it by a sink to drain it, be prepared to pick it up, it's a bit heavy.

We are in love with our Opal ice makers and we are happy that you are sharing your experience with your new unit! To help you get the most out of your ice maker we recommend only using distilled water to help reduce the potential for mineral buildup.

Terrible noise
Do not buy, makes terrible sounds. Support says it needs 8 inches or clearance all around including the top which means it won't fit on a counter or under the cabinets. They also said to remove the new filters it comes with. Terrible design.

Transformational!
I’m addicted to my ge nugget icemaker! Use it everyday and LOVE it. First saw at a friend’s home and immediately bought one for my place as soon as I came home. It’s wonderful—quiet, easy, delicious ice improves every beverage (including iced coffee!), great looking, A+ on all counts. Capacity is plentiful for small family or singles.
