Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It makes ice fast and doesn't melt too fast. Surprisingly, the ice bin keeps the ice cold enough that it melts very slowly. A full bin takes about 12 hours to fully melt!

Cleaning is very easy but time consuming at 20-30 minutes of automatic cleaning. It’s automatic and runs along without supervision.

This is so awesome and makes a ton of ice. I was pleasently suprised. This machine is wonderful and does not disappoint.

Once you get into the habit of keeping things clean and filtered, the noise issue disappears. The noise is actually a helpful indicator that it's time to clean the machine or switch to filtered water.



Cons

I'm hugely disappointed because it does make good ice when it works. Is it worth the hassle to keep it going? It is not. Now it sits in a dark corner, collecting dust.

It leaves water in the bottom of the reservoir. Makes more of a mush than ice pellets. It has a screeching squealing sound that doesn't go away. It leaks, squeals, rusts.

After a month of waiting for a replacement for the 3rd party company, the refurbished replacement is worse than the first one. Ge needs to provide a refund or credit for the poor quality of the machine. No one repairs them.

It now runs in constant defrost mode and all my ice melts almost as soon as it's made. Ge needs to include a place to return this machine free of charge so that we do not put the machine including the freon (refrigerant) in land fills.

There should be no reason this expensive machine is already having issues.


I wish now i had enough $$$ to spend on the extra capacity unit.


We have been watching for this opal ice maker by ge and so excited that it was on sale.

It was a pain to get it shipped since they don’t send to all parts of ak- but we did receive it, set it up & have been enjoying ice since!

Competitiveness


As far as i can tell, this one is the best counter top i’ve maker on the market today.
