Loud noises
Well I finally bit the bullet and purchased this ice maker. Took the first one back for an exchange because of the noise level, it squealed so very loud. The second one did the same thing after just two weeks. VERY loud. Then I contacted GE and they were able to ship a new ice maker; I sent the second machine direct to them (GE). Well two weeks later the ‘new’ 3rd machine is making the same squealing noise, and it already wants me to sanitize the machine. We are not happy with our decision to purchase this ice maker. We love this ice nuggets and how fast it produces the ice we just don’t love the noise this machine makes especially at 2:30 AM.

We are sorry to hear about your Opal's needing to be replaced. We'd like to help go over the sounds you are noticing. When the Opal is in need of defrosting, it may start to squeak as ice starts to build up around the mechanisms. The sound you are hearing might be the defrost cycle going on, it is automatic and takes around 10 to 45 minutes. You can view a list of normal sounds here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=35276
Disappointed
Sadly this is my second one only because the first I would have given 10 stars. This one 2. GE replaced only to now have one that makes strange noises on and off. Very disappointed.

Good Ice maker
Great ice maker except for the filter. It is a piece of junk. Didn’t last 3 weeks. Took it out and put the screen in and it works fine now.

Great ice, easy to use once set up
Works extremely well. Takes some time to correctly set up and sanitize (and rinse!), but once it's done it makes the best ice in 10 minutes flat. Less noisy than I thought it would be based on the other reviews -- yes you can hear it, but it's quieter than an air fryer.

Quieter than original
Day 1 of having my new ice maker. Comparing it to the original Opal, I will say that this one is much quieter. Which owls what I wanted. After 5 years, our original finally stopped making ice but not before it started making horrible loud noises. I like that this newer model is much quieter and a bit smaller. However, the downside seems to be that the water reservoir is smaller. Day one and the tank is already half empty.

Won’t last
Machine broke around two years ago monthly maintenance/cleaning was done. Still did not last. No help from the company. Huge expense with no fix or service.
