8/5/2023 0 Comments Opal nugget ice maker![]() Especially for an ice maker, it's possibly the most stylish appliance I have in my kitchen. Unlike previous models, there's no removable ice bin, but an automatic dispenser, activated from an illuminated flat panel. It produces ice infallibly, keeping the 1.8 lb storage bin topped off throughout the day. The ice that the Profile Opal maker creates is perfectly crunchy and infinitely chewable. cups full of nugget ice, I have to admit that I'm hooked. Not being much of a fast-food aficionado myself, I'll admit I didn't quite get the "Good Ice" hype. There's also Alexa and Google Home voice control but, honestly, it seems like overkill. As far as app functionality goes, it's fairly comprehensive for such a spec-purpose device. The app gives you insight into whether the machine needs to be cleaned, if it needs a new filter, and lets you control the illumination and set schedules to power down the machine. I got the Profile Opal hooked up to GE's SmartHQ app. But the included instructions did not prepare me for the struggle.Īfter I found a spot, got the water filter installed, and ran through a cleaning cycle (you need to flush the system three times before you can start making ice). Once the screen was out, installing the filter was a snap. In the end, I needed to jam a butter knife in the wee gap I was able to find, then pray I was levering the right piece out. Having to navigate by feel alone, the worry that I was about to break something on this very expensive ice maker was high (it's in there quite tight). The challenge is that this an all-black piece sitting at the bottom of a water reservoir that you 100% can not see into. ![]() I'm extremely grateful that GE included a filter in the box, but removing the mechanical screen proved to be a challenge that required a considerable amount of time Googling and scrubbing through videos. The next hurdle is getting the screen filter removed to install the included water filter. I never would have expected an ice maker to have swoopy architectural lines and an all-black, glossy, minimalist interface, but GE has exceeded expectations with the Profile Opal. Thankfully, the modern design fits in just about anywhere. And if you have under-cabinet lighting, you might be scrambling trying to find a place for it, as it's nearly 18 inches tall. It's also going to take up a considerable amount of space on your countertop. ![]() Good enough to make room for Anthony Karczįirst things first, make no mistake that the GE Profile Opal Nugget Ice Maker Dispenser (man, I'm going to get tired of typing that) is an appliance.
