This ice maker is my family’s new favorite smart gadget.

It might be because the heat index is 110 degrees, but the new GE Profile Opal 2.0 Ultra has been a huge hit in my house.

I’ve been testing the smart nugget ice maker for a week, and its ability to make a full batch of ice in 10 minutes is impressive. But for $630, you have to really love chewable ice. I’ll have a review soon.

The Opal 2.0 Ultra Nugget Ice Maker is an update to the Opal 2.0. It has a new water filter, air filter, and cleaning system that should make for easier maintenance.
