OPAL NUGGET ICE, THE GOOD ICE - Serve up chewable, crunchable, craveable nugget ice that's ready fast and retains its flavor, unlike traditional hard cubes. Refreshing nugget ice is made from compacted ice flakes and is perfect for your favorite beverages

If you’ve ever experienced the joy of nugget ice at your favorite restaurant and wished you could have it at home, the GE Profile Opal 2.0 makes that dream a reality. This countertop ice maker produces that signature chewable, crunchable ice that actually enhances your drinks instead of just cooling them down. Unlike traditional hard cubes that dilute your beverages, nugget ice is made from compacted flakes that retain flavor while delivering that satisfying texture people genuinely crave.

The Opal 2.0 isn’t just about great ice—it’s about convenience. You’ll get your first batch in under 10 minutes, and the machine cranks out 38 pounds daily, making 1.6 pounds per hour. The attached side tank is a game-changer, tripling your ice production without needing a permanent water line. When the tank needs refilling or cleaning, it detaches easily. Smart home integration through WiFi lets you schedule ice production via the SmartHQ app, and voice control works with both Alexa and Google Assistant. The LED display gives you precise control when you need it and dims when you don’t.

Who Is This For?

This ice maker suits anyone who drinks a lot of beverages at home—whether that’s iced coffee, cocktails, sodas, or just water. It’s particularly valuable for people who entertain regularly or have families that go through ice quickly. The smart features appeal to tech-savvy users who want their kitchen appliances connected, while the side tank design works perfectly for renters or anyone who can’t install a water line. If you’re particular about your drinks and understand why nugget ice costs extra at certain establishments, you’ll appreciate having unlimited access at home.

Bottom Line

The GE Profile Opal 2.0 delivers restaurant-quality nugget ice without the restaurant prices or the need for permanent installation. Yes, it’s an investment for an ice maker, but the combination of high daily output, smart connectivity, and that genuinely superior ice texture makes it worth considering if you’re serious about your beverages. The side tank eliminates the biggest barrier to countertop ice makers—constantly refilling a reservoir—while the cleaning system helps maintain performance over time.
