   Esta super genial, los hielos no se deshacen en la bebida tan rápido.

   Probably the best thing Ive ever bought myself. Its much bigger than what I expected but should fit on most countertops. Im a dialysis patient and prefer to just much on ice through the day keep my fluids low. Its makes perfect chewable ice just like the ice they give you in the hospitals. Made by GE cant go wrong with this product.

   Estuve meses leyendo opiniones de los diferentes modelos/marcas/versiones. Por fin me decidí por la Opal 1.0 y no me arrepiento. También compré el tanque lateral para no tener que estar rellenándolo tan seguido. Lo que no nos acabamos en el día, lo meto al congelador, pero pierde un poco el ser “masticable” que es por lo que me decidí por esta versión (para hielo “duro”, hay otros modelos más económicos). A mis hijos y a mí nos encanta usarlo como snack y sirve para que “tomen” más agua pues a fin de cuentas es lo que es.
   Uso agua de garrafón para llenarlo y corremos el ciclo de lavado una vez al mes.
   Ahora estoy investigando opciones de “sugar free syrup” para hacer nuestras propias bebidas tipo Sonic 🙂
   Cuando lo compré me salió en 8,400 aprox.

   This ice maker worked beautifully for several days and then suddenly started making this horrendous noise a few times a day. It sounds like we are torturing a baby t-Rex in our kitchen! It lasts for 10-15 minutes and then goes back to making ice. When this sound is happening it shows “defrosting” on the panel but this cannot be the case every time as it has done it twice immediately upon plugging it back in when it was off overnight. The ice is wonderful and it doesn’t seem to affect the function…just don’t plan to have any conversations or phone calls anywhere in your house when this starts happening!
   UPDATE: a few days after my initial review this ice maker started making a loud banging noise that was deafening. It locked up completely and something broke inside making another horrendous noise. Then ALL the water in it ran out from underneath all over my kitchen. This item is a complete waste of money and after seeing so many other reviews of the same type I think GE should be ashamed of themselves for continuing to sell this item. It should be removed from Icemaker.us.com’s list of recommended items.

   I thought I was happy with this ice machine but we have had it less than a year and it’s started making loud screeching noises randomly.. sometimes in the middle of the night I have to wake up and unplug it. Tried contacting GE but unable to get through even though it is during business hours. Not impressed considering how expensive it was in the first place. I expected it to last a long time.

   Every week I found myself going to Sonic to get their yummy ice. It was a fight to get it home in one piece and refrozen in my freezer without it turning into a solid chunk of ice! Once summer hit, I knew it was going to be harder so I looked into investing to my own “sonic ice maker” and found this one. I debated about getting the water attachment, but decided since I got it on sale, I’d do myself a favor and get it. If you are questioning getting the water attachment, do it!! I’m so thankful I got the attachment. Our family goes through so much ice a day that I’m filling the water attachment several times a week. Now here is my only complaint about the water attachment – it’s really hard to hold/handle to fill the water in the container. For me, it’s a two person job as I use my Zero Water Filter Container to fill the water tank – one to hold the water tank and one to push the nozzle of the water filter container. Without that side container, you would have to pull the ice basket out and fill the water from underneath, which can be messy as some ice does slip through the holes of the ice basket. So if you are on the fence, get it!!

   Cons – my sidetank lid came to me scratched as well as the lid of the ice maker. It bothered me when I first bought it, but to send it back over scratches wasn’t worth the hassle so I kept it. I see it now and still wish I sent it back and had it fixed, but the reality is I’m sure it would have gotten scratched sooner or later.

   The feet of the ice maker are sharp and scratched up the counter where I initially had the ice maker. I wish it wasn’t so sharp and I hadn’t ruined my brand new counters.

   While the machine is supposed to have a humming noise when the ice makes, sometimes it gets loud. But in apartment living where everything is so condensed and open, you are going to hear everything. The noise is louder than my fridge (everyone said the noise wasn’t louder than a fridge) and sometimes bothers me with its noise.

   I wish there was a place to put the ice scooper. Right now it sits on the inside/top of the ice, but sometimes it gets burried in the new ice. If the ice scooper had a hole in it, I could hang it on the outside of the ice maker.

   Lastly people have asked if the inside of the ice area is a freezer. While it’s cold on the inside where the ice is made, it all sits together and keeps the area cold. As it melts, it goes through the basket and recycles the water to make new ice.

   I believe that’s everything about this amazing ice maker. GET THE SIDE TANK and save yourself the headache!
