Nice looking unit, makes great ice that my whole family LOVES! BUT... the maintenance? Weekly cleanings? "De-scaling" every couple of months... Recommending fussy water for proper functioning? 18 hours of it being unavailable for the cleanings AND descalings? Noises like an animal is stuck in the works on a regular basis? It woke us up from deep sleep MANY times and it's on another level of the house.
Is the process to clean or descale "difficult?" No. Is it somewhat laborious and you'll have to watch YouTube videos (at least at first) to do it correctly? Absolutely, yes.
At this point, I kinda wish we never bought it. It's a pain in the rear. The app is nice and will remind you when it's due for one of these user services, but who's got time for that? And again, the unit will be offline for EIGHTEEN HOURS for each of these services. Look, if it were a bonafide Slurpee machine? I get it. BUT, if you're using it to substitute for running your refrigerator's icemaker? Man. Think twice.
Does anybody want to buy mine for $400? Just got it and put it into service on New Year's 2023. No shipping. Ha ha. It's HEAVY.
One last tipโฆ Iโm hearing it from every seasoned user: USE ONLY DISTILLED WATER!! Filtered isnโt enough to avoid the howling and screeching. Trust me.

GE Profile Opal Countertop Nugget Ice Maker (The Good Ice!)
Dan Currier
Very nice ice Maker, My family loved it.
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2022
Set up is easy. Ice maker should be near a sink. I can not imagine having it without the extra tank. We fill the tank at least once a day for a family of 4. (Get the tank!) I had to try about 10 times to get WIFi App to sink up. We shut the ice maker off at 9pm and it still has ice in when we turn it at 6am. We have an open floor plan so it is a little louder than I had hoped but I feel like you just get used to it. A few days after use it said I need to descale it even though we have a water softener. GE said to unplug it let it rest. The Error went a way. I did purchase the extended warranty. Lots of good ytube videos on how to open it up and clean the inside. Will update this review in a few month. The ice is perfect and makes drink cold fast with little foam. Not hard to chew and is helping me get more daily water intake. The drip tray is my only complaint so far. When you open the ice drawer it drips so you need a paper towel.12/12/22- had to set it to cycle off every few hours otherwise it starts squealing. The internal defrost cycle does not seem to work that great. So I would not advise trying to run it for 16 hours straight.12/26/22- so still dealing with squealing. I have been playing around with the schedule to give it more chances to defrost. I think the squealing comes from it not being about to push the frozen ice out. Still love the ice so not giving up yet.12/28/22- did several cleaning cycles with bleach. Set up running time for hour on then and hour off. Moved it so it has good ventilation on both sides. No squealing so far after changes.1/14/23- to sync up to phone app pull up a chair and sit right next to it with your phone. Any further away does not seem to work. My machine has been working fine as long as it has several off cycles between run times. If I try to leave it on for more than a few hours it always start making unpleasant noises. It has lost WiFi twice and each when it keeps running without programming it starts making all kinds of bad noises. Just my personal experiences. Keep with a on/off hourly schedule.
