After months of yearning for a reliable source of nugget ice, I finally took the plunge and invested in the GE Profile Opal 2.0 Countertop Nugget Ice Maker. The anticipation was real as I unboxed this sleek, stainless-steel machine, and it did not disappoint.
In just ten minutes, my first batch of ice was ready. And let me tell you, the quality of the ice is simply exceptional! The nugget ice is chewable, crunchable, and downright irresistible. It retains its flavor beautifully, unlike traditional hard cubes that dilute your favorite beverages.
The machine boasts a large capacity ice maker, producing an impressive 38 pounds of ice per day! The removable drawer can hold up to 3 pounds of ice at a time. This means I never run out of this delightful ice, especially during those hot summer days when it’s in high demand.
A standout feature is the built-in WiFi and voice control capabilities. I was able to pair the machine with the SmartHQ app effortlessly. It allows me to monitor its status and schedule fresh ice at my convenience. Plus, with the ability to control it through Alexa and Google, my hands are free for more important tasks, like enjoying a cold drink.
Another advantage of this machine is that it eliminates the need for an external water source. The attached water supply allows me to produce up to three times more ice! And when it’s time for cleaning or refilling, the water tank detaches easily.
I must admit, I was a bit concerned about the maintenance aspect of this machine. However, the advanced cleaning system helps sanitize and descale the machine regularly, ensuring that my ice remains fresh and the performance stays at its best. The water filter and cleaning kit are available for purchase separately.
