Q: Does this come with the side tank? https://target.scene7.com/is/image/Target/GUEST_c71e5247-b032-4137-b0f6-fcf3f20b101c?wid=800&hei=800&qlt=80&fmt=pjpeg
A: No this one doesn’t come with the side tank
submitted byAmanda - 6 months agoA: No it does not come with it.
submitted byTucson Mama - 9 months agoA: You can purchase the side tank separate!
submitted byHeadman19 - 9 months agoA: The matching side tank is now available to purchase on the GE website.
submitted byCyn - 7 months agoA: I hope so. 2 of the photos show it and the specs say it does too.
submitted byMCO fun - 7 months agoA: It does not come with the side tank. I called GE and confirmed from the “Opal” department the side tank isn’t available yet…and once it is available, it will only be sold at Target.
submitted byLeslie - 8 months agoA: Not sure why it isnt at Target yet, but this is the side tank: https://www.geappliances.com/appliance/GE-Profile-Opal-Hearth-and-Hand-Side-Tank-OPAL01GHSDTK
submitted byRGP - 9 months agoA: No it does not come with side tank which doesn’t make sense. Just include it and charge more instead of making someone have to search and then purchase. Tank is extra $69.99. This was a gift from my daughter and family. They were embarrassed that tank was not included.
submitted byMeme0f9 - 6 months agoA: No, it does not! I would have liked that option. This is an appliance that needs a water line as it comes in the box! At a retail of $499.99- I’d have paid $50-$75 more to get it with the “matching” tank. The stainless version on the GE website, comes with the tank at $579.00, granted I got this one on sale in the target store for $399.99, but it’s still nice. Target does not sell the tank online as of yet and GE doesn’t sell it in white on their website, since it’s a “target exclusive.” I’m assuming Target will sell it soon, but as this is a limited collaboration with Magnolia, it will probably be very limited stock, if they get it. I ordered this- the magnetic tank with the same model number but in stainless. It’s not ideal, but temporary until I get a water splicer for my fridge line. That will cost me another $75.00 in parts and $150.00 in labor too, but that’s a handyman job.

Q: Is this self cleaning?
A: Can you add video on the cleaning process?
submitted byTerrace J - 6 months agoA: Yes I fits under the upper cabinets
submitted byCyn - 7 months agoA: Yes, with a switch to initiate it
submitted byCasperlpn - 2 months agoA: You clean it by flipping a switch on the back and holding down the front button for 3 seconds, then the machine does the rest.
submitted byHeadman19 - 9 months agoA: No but it’s a super easy cleaning process !! You flip a switch on the back, run the cleaning solution through it and then flush it out !
submitted byHeadman19 - 8 months agoA: No. I have one you have to take to a sink drain the lines and run vinegar thru it to clean. I do it once a week or the ice starts to taste bad even though I use filtered water

Q: Does it make noise? My dog flips when ice hits.
A: Is does make noise when making ice but it’s not as loud as our fridge ice maker.
submitted byMAMA3FROMCLE - 6 months agoA: It is pretty loud to be honest . This is my first ice machine and I didn’t know what to expect . I was kinda shocked how loud it is .
submitted byBianca - 5 months agoA: Mine is pretty quiet
submitted bySAC - 24 days ago
Q: Is this white or ivory?
A: I would say somewhere in between. An “off-white” so not stark white but not a yellowish ivory either
submitted byAuntie A - 8 months agoA: It’s more of an ivory/cream!
submitted byHeadman19 - 8 months agoA: Watch the video it tells you

Q: Does this come with the water reservoir that goes on the side? One of the product photos shows it attached to the ice maker, but it’s not listed in the product description or in any of the review photos.
A: No, the side tank is sold separately.
submitted byMckmer - 9 months agoA: The side tank is sold separately but it should come with one. It's so small you're just refilling it all day long 
submitted byConcerned consumer - 8 months agoA: Not sure why it isnt at Target yet, but this is the side tank: https://www.geappliances.com/appliance/GE-Profile-Opal-Hearth-and-Hand-Side-Tank-OPAL01GHSDTK

Q: Does this have to be connected to a water line?
A: No it doesn’t have to be!
submitted byHeadman19 - 8 months agoA: It does not come with the reservoir. If you can find it and use the reservoir, then no, but mine only came with a water line like the fridge.

Q: I just got this machine. After about an hour my machine will shut off, resulting in all my ice melting. How do I fix this??
A: The water will automatically recirculate, if you open and close the bin, that triggers the ice to be made again, but it is an automatic process as well!!
submitted byHeadman19 - 8 months ago
Q: Does this make as much ice as the original one?
A: No this is about half the size with a tiny reservoir that you're constantly refilling. Returned it right away
submitted byConcerned consumer - 8 months agoA: It makes 33 pounds of ice per day!!
submitted byHeadman19 - 8 months ago
Q: Does this machine store and keep the ice cold and frozen in the bin/basket or do I have to transfer it to my freezer? Thanks.
A: The bin holds the ice, no need to transfer the ice. There is a recirculating system that keeps the ice consistently crunchy!
submitted byMckmer - 9 months agoA: The ice will melt slowly overtime as it’s not insulated, but the water recirculates and keeps making fresh ice
