Why we love nugget ice makers

Corrine is absolutely, completely, totally OBSESSED and in love with her nugget ice maker! It's a bit of an investment, yes, but ALL of the other built-in model nugget ice makers that she's ever looked into buying were literally thousands of dollars, not in the hundreds.

Her pebble ice machine is not only her favorite, but Neil's, their girls, AND her neighbors and friends who drop by just for a cup of nugget ice. Best purchase ever!!! We've blogged about it in a past kitchen reveal, a gift guide, and her third trimester pregnancy favorites.

We love that these nugget ice makers can be plugged into the wall ANYWHERE and that it doesn't have to be hooked up to a water line – she just pours bottled water into the bottom and it produces the most perfect, chewy, heavenly pebble ice.

If you have an office or a butler's pantry (where Corrine stores hers) it's SO perfect! But really, this ice machine is the best to have in EVERY situation. You'll be surprised how much you use it!!

If you have to keep it out on your counter, this white and rose gold one would look stunning in any kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to clean the GE Profile Opal 2.0 Nugget Ice Maker with Side Tank?

Run the self-cleaning cycle using the Opal cleaning solution or equal parts hot water (100-120°F) and white distilled vinegar. Make sure to empty both the ice bin and side tank, fill with the cleaning solution, and let the cycle complete. Rinse twice with clean water to remove any residue.

Is the GE Profile Opal 2.0 Nugget Ice Maker with Side Tank worth it?

Absolutely! It’s one of the most reliable nugget ice makers with excellent performance, large capacity, and sleek design. Most owners say it’s their favorite kitchen upgrade, especially during entertaining season.

Can you keep the ice maker on all the time?

Yes, but it’s best to turn it off when not in use for long periods. Both models automatically pause when the bin is full, so you don’t have to worry about overflow.

Does an ice maker increase the water bill?

Barely! These machines are super efficient. You’ll use roughly a gallon of water per 10–12 lbs. of ice, not enough to make a noticeable difference on your monthly bill.

What’s the difference between nugget ice and regular ice?

Nugget (or pebble) ice is soft, chewable, and absorbs flavor beautifully, it’s that irresistible “Sonic ice” everyone loves!

Are countertop nugget ice makers worth it?

1000% yes. They’re compact, easy to use, and give you perfect restaurant-style ice without the expensive built-in setup.

Don't take our word for it

We’re not the only ones obsessed with nugget ice, here’s what real customers are saying:

What reviewers have said about GE Profile Opal 2.0:

“This is my second Opal ice maker and the improvements made on the newer version are fantastic. Product is much quieter compared to older models, the automatic defrost function is an nice added feature and installation was a breeze.”

“This is the best ice. Even with the small opal sized ice, the ice doesn’t melt fast. I like that it does constantly recycle as it sits in the machine. It’s not a cheap piece of equipment, but it’s definitely worth the investment.”

What reviewers have said about Gevi Countertop:

“This nugget ice maker is great. Not only does it keep the ice from melting as fast due to the insulated door, it will make more ice to replace what little does melting. You add that to the fact that it can be conected to a line for auto filling with water, just an over all great addition to any household.”

“This machine makes enough ice daily to keep up with a family of four easily. The ice is solid and doesn’t melt instantly yet it is the crunchy type like Sonic or Chick-fil-a. I have had several different ice makers and this is by far the best”
