The GE Opal ice maker is totally worth it, especially since it's on sale for October Prime Day now.
Artie Beaty/If you've been eyeing the viralOpal nugget ice maker , this is a great time to dive in and get the best ice of your life. TheGE Opal 2.0 Nugget Ice Maker -- with the additional side water tank included -- is currently on sale for$549 ahead of Black Friday, saving you$130. The original version, theOpal 1.0 , is also on sale for$362 ($87 off).
See at AmazonI splurged on this ice maker earlier this year, and it's honestly been one of my favorite additions to my home. It's admittedly a lot of money for an ice maker, but I haven't regretted the purchase for a minute.
Every single morning on schedule, the Opal quietly hums to life and the first deletable ice pellets hit the tray just before I wake up. The ice maker is fully controllable through an app or through Alexa and Google Home, and you can set a schedule to turn it on or off. Being able to say "Alexa, make ice" sounds pretty unnecessary
