![]() The Opal 2.0 uses the same ice-making technology as the original model. The Power button turns the ice maker on and off, the Clean button puts it in cleaning mode, and the Light button turns the interior ice bin light on and off and lets you select a high or dim illumination setting. Off to the right are Clean, Light, and Power buttons. There’s also a backlit Wi-Fi icon indicator that's lit when the ice maker is connected to your network. On the left side are Making Ice, Add Water, Defrosting, and Cleaning indicators. ![]() Whereas the original Opal uses a round backlit button and different colored lights to tell you what state the machine is in, the Opal 2.0 uses text-based status indicators located on the face of the device, near the top, that make it much easier to understand what's happening. Designed to sit on a counter, the Opal measures 16.5 by 13.4 by 17.5 inches (HWD) and weighs 38 pounds, making it slightly smaller and lighter than its predecessor. It still uses a sleek stainless steel cabinet, but this time around the interior and accompanying plastic trim is gray (the ice maker also comes in a black stainless finish that will cost you an extra $34). The Opal 2.0 looks similar to the original model, but there are noticeable differences. That said, it brings several improvements to the smart kitchen table, including Wi-Fi connectivity, an extra water reservoir, improved status indicators, and much quieter operation. If you like fast food-style crunchy nugget ice and you're willing to pay a premium to make it at home, you won't be disappointed. The new GE Profile Opal 2.0 Nugget Ice Maker (starting at $665) is even more expensive than its predecessor, and its mobile app can still use a couple of features. When we reviewed Opal Nugget Ice Maker back in 2017, we were impressed with its stylish design and the fact that it made perfect nugget ice quickly, but we weren't as taken with its lofty price, lackluster app, and noisy operation.
