Opal 2.0 Ice Maker: Complete Setup Guide and Maintenance Instructions

We take you through the complete unboxing and setup of the GE Opal 2.0 ice maker. When I posted this in February of 2025, the machine has been in constant use for 6 months. It is still working great and kicks out about 3 pounds of ice every 24 hours. If you need help with sanitization, cleaning, or descaling of your machine, we also demonstrate how to do that. I will also give you my initial thoughts after the ice maker is in operation for 24 hours. Is this machine worth $500? That is something you will have to determine for yourself. If you really make a lot of drinks and enjoy "chewy" ice than this highly rated ice maker might possibly be for you.
