Great ice machine! Makes awesome pebbled ice and is probably one of the best looking counter top machines one can get
Happycustomer –
4th ice maker I had bought for my wife, the other 3 different makes where return because they quit working, it seems to be doing a great job and the wife loves it
AshleyW –
Works amazing. No need to go buy the soft ice from Sonic anymore!
ElectronicEm –
Ice maker was super easy to set up. Makes ice fairly quickly, just leaks a lot of water when you pull the ice bucket out.
MikeG –
Best purchase ever! My whole family is obsessed with this ice.
CZFOXX –
No better ice maker out there. Literally bagged ice or Sonic ice from this machine.
Lapis –
The ice is amazing! Finally, my son never runs out of ice and it looks great. He is constantly getting compliments on this ice maker.
AliciaD –
Excelente! No ice machine Can compare to this!
You just need to make sure to do weekly maintenance to keep it running to ensure the best tasting ice.
JordanH –
I love my nugget I’ve machine! I’ve had it for over a year & don’t go a day without using it. Setup is super simple.
Israel –
Stopped working. Didn’t get two years out of it. Constantly had to fix issues with it.
AracelyM –
I absolute love it. Best ice ever! I totally recommend this item to everyone.
Sweetl7082 –
Lots of upkeep! Must clean weekly but the most amazing ice ever!! So much better support with Best Buy!!! Don’t buy anywhere else and ALWAYS buy the protection plan!!!
Accountant –
Great service at Best Buy on my warranty and ordering a new one.
Ludy –
Ice maker works to perfection. Highly recommend this product
MaryannM –
The ice chips are great…after waiting for an hour for the ice tank to fill. Haven’t tried the blue tooth feature, but definitely got to impatient on this ice machine. The water tank will be full but says “empty” and takes too long for it to fill up with ice. I would put the ice in a bag or container in the freezer but didn’t like how it’ll all stick together.
Frank08 –
I own a salon and my clients love having this ice as an added bonus to their drinks while waiting for their color to process!
KathyT –
I love this ice maker and it’s so quiet. Would highly recommend
Martinez –
We have had this ice maker for a few months and i would say this is the best investment for someone who works outside! love having “sonic” ice every morning that lasts all day!
JordanB –

TammyB –
My family loves this ice maker. One of the best purchases we have made. We have had zero issues with it.
RosarioS –
My wife couldn’t wait till Christmas this thing works like a champ
CaseyS –
We have had for 6 months and absolutely love! We love sonic or circle k ice and this is exactly that. We have company and everyone loves. It doesn’t take long to refill and our family of 5 (and we all use it) never has a problem. My sister has also purchased one and loves as well. Don’t overthink this one – it is PERFECT!
JanaeS –
Love this ice machine! Easy to set up, easy to use, and I love the little ice cubes! Wish it wouldn’t recycle so often but it isn’t too big of a deal.
CoachKW –
If you like Sonic ice, this is the ice maker for you. It does an excellent job of creating that pellet ice that you love! It has a drip tray that keeps the counter clean from water dripping. It has the extra water reservoir so you don’t have to constantly refill. It makes the ice quickly and fairly quiet. Very happy with this product. I highly recommend. It also has WiFi connectivity to schedule ice making if you want.
CynthiaH –
We love our GE nugget ice machine. We were buying several bags of nugget ice at a time from our local fast food restaurant. We were so excited when we found this ice maker. The nuggets are perfect and keep our drinks colder than tradition ice cubes.
SusanaR –
Works great and looks amazing love the soft ice that it makes
Teemason –
This ice maker provides nugget ice all day. The maintenance and the setup is simple. It pairs really well with my Bartesian drink maker. I find myself drinking more water throughout the day.

One week of ice bliss. We have the same faulty ice maker in our brand new Samsung fridge. Love the fridge, hate the ice maker. It is not covered by manufacturer warranty so after having it replace 3 times, we opted to buy this ice maker and it has been great. I LOVE ice. I use it in every beverage, morning, afternoon, and night. This ice maker is exactly what I needed. I actually prefer it over the fridge ice maker because you don’t have to hold the cup there for 30 seconds waiting for either 1 or 20 ice cubes to come out. Here, you pull out the tray and scoop you ice and you are done.
To be honest, I don’t really care what type of ice (nugget, cube, etc.) but this ice is nice. We use filtered water from our fridge, purchase the opal water filter (sold separately but can be ordered from GE and on a subscription), and followed the sanitizing process. Set up took about an hour and it is great.
I had some issues with the app where the device was added but then it would lose connectivity. However, it seems to be working now and I got a schedule set up for it turn on during the AM and turn off in PM. No issues with ice production or anything.
Here are a couple of things to know:
1. Initial sanitizing process requires “household bleach” (only 1 tbsp) but make sure you have that ready.
2. The sanitizing instructions are not clear. It says make a solution of 5 cups water to 1 tbsp bleach and the “fill up the reservoir” but the 5 cups doesn’t fill up the water reservoir. So I wasn’t sure if you were supposed to add the 5 cup solution and then more water to fill up the reservoir. I didn’t do this. I just made the 5 cup and 1 tbsp solution and added to water reservoir and ran the clean cycle.
3. Sanitizing is recommended once a week, which requires draining the machine, removing the opal water filter (if you purchased separately and installed it), make the bleach solution, and then run a rinse cycle 3 times. I haven’t don’t this yet, but I anticipate it will take about 30 minutes.
4. Descaling should occurring every 2-3 weeks based on water hardness. This requires an overnight soaking of the vinegar solution, so you will be out of ice for ~24 hours, so plan accordingly.
5. Purchase bleach, distilled white vinegar, and the opal water filter to be used from the beginning.
6. When I pull out the ice bucket, condensation from the bottom drips down onto the drip tray – so that tray is required, not optional.
7. The drip tray has cut outs to fit around the feet of the machine, but that also means it is not secured in any capacity so it can move around pretty easily. Not a huge deal, but I have to make sure the tray is pushed back against the legs regularly,
8. The tubes to empty the reservoir are pretty short, so unless you install next to you sink, you will need to drag out the machine (and the side tank) and rotate it 90 degrees to have the tubes accessible to drip into a big bowl/bucket, which can take a minute. Not ideal, but it is what it is.
9. The instruction manual is very detailed in certain but also missing in other areas. For example, it doesn’t actually tell you the best way to drain the entire unit for the weekly sanitizing cleaning. I assume I need to remove the side tank, drain that, and drain the entire base reservoir, but it is not stated that way in the manual.
Overall, great device, but there are a couple tweaks that could be made to improve the ease of use.
Skye –
Very nice and high end ice maker. Love that it makes nugget ice.
Cody –
Broke after only a year and a half of use and couldn’t do anything to fix it. Stopped making ice even with running regular cleaning cycles
Movie –
I absolutely LIVE this ice! I have wanted this machine since it hit the market. Finally got one.
JessicaS –
The gift that keeps on giving. I bought this for my mom as a gift. She LOVES it….and so does everyone who visits. I am guilty of stopping by to fill my stanley!! Sooooo worth it
user976075 –
Great ice unit………………………………………………….
Mary –
Makes ice fast. I never run out of ice. Very quiet.
XelaNworb –
This machine works great but I could not for the life of me get the optional filter to work with my side tank. Other than that, great product. Wife approved!
user527934 –
Ice is perfect, just like chick fil a! Use distilled water!
GreatHair –

RebeccaL –
Nice product a little nosier than expected when it is actively making ice. Otherwise we love it!!
JasonL –
Great ice maker!! Looks great and the ice is amazing!!
ScottB –
This GE ice maker is the one you want! aesthetically appealing and fast at producing ice. If you like Chic fillet or Sonic ice, this is for you.
Ohioan –
This is definitely a game changer; definitely not a need, but something that instantly became part of our daily routine. We have a refrigerator with an ice maker, but this ice changes the game completely, it’s fun to eat and everyone uses it several times a day. The installation process was very easy, it does take quite a bit of space on your counter, so keep that in mind. And although some reviews mentioned this is loud, we have found that is a lot quieter than our refrigerator or the dish washer.
Olgab –
Makes great small round ice it’s great I love highly recommend it
Grateful –
Love nugget ice this machine is the best! I recommend the GE Profile over any other style or brand.
TeresaB –
Perfect nugget ice! We like the versatility of being able to unplug it if we don’t need to use it long periods of time.
Yolo –
Quick producing ice as well as quick and easy setup.
Ilene –
This item is easy to set up and is an amazing addition to my office. I can get ice easily and it is fairly quiet. I had a prior ice maker that was making a lot of noise. This one you hear little pitter pats but nothing loud. Must have if you love pebble ice
Monkey –
This thing is amazing, makes ice rather quickly. And it’s pretty quiet.
MsMonie8 –
Loving my Opal 2.0! I bought this initially because my mom always asked for Sonic ice but after making the investment, I didn’t realize just how much I would love the convenience of having the “good ice” in my kitchen and not having to go to Sonic.
