GE Profile Opal Nugget Ice Maker with Side Tank

The GE Profile Opal Nugget Ice Maker has been an absolute game-changer in my daily life, and I'm giving it a solid 5 out of 5 rating. Despite a minor noise issue, it consistently delivers the perfect nuggets of ice that I simply can't live without. Ice Perfection, Day and Night: I use this ice maker heavily, consuming 3-5 glasses of ice per day, and it has truly become an indispensable part of my kitchen. The quality of the ice it produces is nothing short of exceptional. The nuggets are perfectly sized and have that delightful chewable texture that elevates any drink. Regular Cleaning for Peace of Mind: With heavy use comes the need for regular cleaning, and I agree that it can be a bit of a chore. However, the peace of mind that comes with knowing I'm enjoying clean ice is worth the effort. The stainless steel construction makes cleaning a breeze, and it adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of the machine. Reliable and Aesthetically Pleasing: As a long-time admirer of the GE brand, I had high expectations, and this ice maker has not disappointed. Its reliability is top-notch, and it lives up to the reputation GE has built over the years. The stainless steel finish not only makes it easy to clean but also adds a touch of elegance to my kitchen. Convenient Side Tank and Water Alert: The addition of the side tank is a brilliant touch. It makes refilling the water reservoir a breeze, and I appreciate that I'm always aware of when it's time to add more water. It's these thoughtful features that truly set this ice maker apart. Three Years of Excellence: I purchased this ice machine three years ago, and it has been a consistent performer since day one. It has become an integral part of my daily routine, and I can't imagine life without it.

I purchased this GE PROFILE OPAL ICE MAKER because my ice maker in my fridge stopped working. This was by far one of the worst purchases I have ever made. Initially it worked great ( was a little louder than expected ) but made ice quickly. Than 45-60 days later ( after the return period expired ) it started making these extremely loud screeching noises that were soo bad I had to unplug the machine in order to make the noise stop. It made these sounds after the ice was made, before the ice was made and during making ice. Than the machine stopped producing ice all together but once in awhile (if I was lucky) it suddenly would make ice again however now it did not keep the ice frozen so if not used within 1 hour at best all the ice would melt and turn back to water and than it would not make any more ice at all. I have only owned this product since January 2023 and I can honestly say this is the worst piece of junk I ever wasted money on and wish I could get all my money back but as life would have it Amazon won’t help and GE wants me to pay to ship this 50 pound ice maker to them at my expense which is absurd since it’s their piece of crap that has malfunctioned . I am hoping no one will purchase this low quality piece of junk and instead try one of the other ice makers out there - DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT - it’s the worst !!!!! BTW, I cleaned the ice machine as instructed, I tried all the troubleshooting tips, I filled the tank with exactly the right amount of water ( to the fill line) . I unplugged it to give it rest . I had no objects obstructing it’s path for air to circulate to the motor . Just letting everyone know that I did everything necessary and possible to make this thing work and it just didn’t do anything except cost me $634.00 , a lot of aggravation not to mention I still have no ice and it takes up alot of space on my counter. Avoid this product buy something else for ice

I brought ours a year ago to replace a much cheaper unit that didn't live up to expectations. In contrast, this unit produces plentiful amounts of wonderfully crunchy ice without any of the mold build up I found in unit it replaced. Cleaning and use has been a snap. However it's is not a fire and forget unit. If one doesn't clean it, it will complain with a groaning noise that will wake the dead. Take the once every month cleaning recommendation seriously. This is done by setting it to a clean cycle with a vinegar and water mix. I run it four times, let it set overnight and then run it twice more in the morning with plain water. You could do the cleaning with a bucket to empty the unit, but I found it easier to just set by the kitchen sink. That way I don't have to move it around as it's not the lightest appliance. Another maintenance issue is a motor inside the unit and that is more painful. It needs to be oiled now and then (so far about every 4 months) or again, grinding noises that are very undesired. Such noises indicate significant wear to me, so it must be dealt with. You have to remove the back plate (9 screws plus 2 on the top panel to free the backplate). The motor is on the left if you're facing the back and has visible fan on top. 3-in-1 oil or a spray equivalent at the join of the fan and motor does the job here. That may sound like a lot, and I'm sure it may gave some doubts on dropping the $$$ this unit costs. But if one is willing to do the work, the reward is all the wonderful ice that one could want. I've had it keep up with the needs of a half dozen people coming over for visits.

El aparato sirvió solamente 5 meses ; desde el primer mes empieze a tener problemas por calentamiento y no hacer hielos pero desafortunadamente re leí a tiempo su mensaje y solamente tenemos 30 días para regresarla ; a partir de esa fecha fueron puros problemas y no ha funcionado .
