Just a reminder to
1) use distilled water to extend the life and
2) get an extended warranty because it will fail
Community Reviews
GE Profile Opal nugget ice makers are prized for producing the soft nugget ice that feels close to Sonic, and the newer V2 is described as easier to clean and better than the original. The side tank setup and optional three year warranty at Sam's add convenience, and distilled or filtered water is repeatedly recommended to slow buildup. The main drawbacks are noise, difficult deep cleaning, and repeated reports of short lifespans or eventual failure, even though a few units have lasted years. A solid nugget ice option if you are willing to maintain it carefully.
Common Questions (5)
Several owners report failures in roughly 18 months to 2 years, while others have had units last much longer, including nearly 2 years of near-daily use and one V1 still working after 7.5 years. An extended or third-party warranty is commonly recommended because repairs or replacement may be needed.
Distilled water is recommended to extend the machine's life, and some use only distilled or reverse osmosis water. Filtered or tap water can leave more buildup, which makes cleaning harder and may shorten lifespan.
Cleaning is a hassle and usually requires disassembly, not just a vinegar flush. The interior reservoir can collect buildup, so regular deep cleaning is needed to keep it usable.
This listing appears to be the original 1.0/V1 version, not the newer 2.0. The newer V2 adds smart-connected features, while the ice itself is reported to be the same.
A 3-year warranty option is available at Sam's, and third-party warranties can also be added after purchase. That extra coverage is often suggested because the machine is expected to fail eventually.

We are on our 3rd, but when they work man they are awesome.
My wife used to go to sonic daily, now she just uses this.
It has to be cleaned a few times a year and that is a bear, but again worth it.

Mine is fine, but it's loud. I would suggest at minimum, using filtered refrigerator water, but even better, distilled water, which can get expensive.
And clean it regularly with vinegar.
