I previously owned the original Opal ice maker - I backed it on Kickstarter and had the first build before GE bought them. It was amazing, for years. And then it wasn't.
This one was the right price point and I was hopeful. It has exceeded my expectations.
At first glance I was skeptical - it's ice basket is considerably smaller than the Opal. It hasn't been an issue, because it makes new ice, so fast. Also a bonus - it takes up much less room! My picture shows how much space it takes on a standard counter depth.
I store the scoop with a small microfiber cloth because the basket drips water when you remove it to fill - makes for fast clean up and keeps it tidy. Makes sure you follow set up directions and leave it upright for 24 hours before you plug it in.
It is not silent - the compressor makes some noise, but, that is unavoidable with this style of machine and to be expected.
