Another vote for the 2.0 model - we have had ours since Feb '21, and it is life changing (like having Sonic ice 24/7). A couple friends got 1.0 versions from Amazon over the summer (I guess it was a...

Buy it with an Amex and make a warranty claim when it breaks, have done it twice now with an icemaker. Seems like the best workaround on the reliability on these

I have wanted one of these forever and ever but I just cannot justify the cost. I buy bags of ice from Chick-fil-A for $1.59. Even if I use the high calculation of going through three bags of ice a...

Got one of these during the last Woot deal and have to agree with the other comments here. The 1.0 should be pulled off the market. It is a terrible piece of junk. Noisy, ice melts and needs to...

I wish you could hook up a water line to these countertop units so you wouldn't have to refill the reservoir.

These always die adjust after the warranty expires. They can also be VERY LOUD. If they go, just throw it out because nobody is going to fix it. As others noted, these are also easy to go unsanitary,...

This is a very noisy appliance. If you don't have an out of the way place to store it (which kind of defeats the point), it'll be very loud.

gen 2 seems to fix it, though i havent seen any definitive to say that fixes it 100%.
I own...

There’s a literal warehouse full of pallets of these things in LA right now. I expect the price will decrease in the future. They have a design flaw with tank maintenance

I have the 1.0. Don't get the 1.0. Out of spite, I'm probably not buying anything GE ever, ever again.
However, some things --- warranty:

Bought a 1.0 not too long ago. I used distilled water only, but I had issues with my first one. Got a replacement unit that is even worse.
Overall I love and hate this thing. My replacement unit...

I’m trying to convince myself that I need a $500 ice maker. Especially when I have a fairly well performing ice maker in my GE Profile fridge

This has an auger that compacts the ice into nuggets. Given that the ice nuggets are riddled with fractures, it’s softer than regular ice and takes on the flavor of the beverage it is put in.

This makes the "Sonic" style nugget ice that's low on water content and chewable/crunchy like you get in a fountain drink.

I’ve had my 1.0 since 2018. Knock on wood I’ve never had an issue with it. I’ve seen the videos of the disgusting bacteria breeding tank but that’s not really any different than a commercial ice...

This is absolutely not a slick deal when Costco has the newer unit with the side tank for $100 more. If this deal was live 2 years ago, okay...but no way a good deal at the end of 2023. It's like...

I might be daft, but what is the point of this over say, ice trays or the maker in your freezer?

I try to add this on every Opal post
1) Use only distilled water. Trust me, it's worth it
2) Buy the extended warranty and with AMEX. We have purchased about 4 of these units (1.0) and they do...
