PSA: You Can Save $200 on the Viral GE Opal Nugget Ice Maker During Prime Day 2024

If you frequent TikTok, you’ve no doubt seen the GE Opal ice maker on your feed. It has influencers raving because, unlike traditional hard cubes, this machine pumps out ‘nugget ice’ that retains the flavor of cocktails, sodas, coffees and beyond (without watering them down). The only downside is that it's pricey—as in, it costs $679. Lucky for you, however, Prime Day 2024 is happening now (until tonight, July 17, at 11:59 pm EST)—and you can score the GE Opal at 30 percent off.

First, let’s start with one Amazon shopper’s glowing review about the ice itself. They write, “I love to crunch on ice. But because I have many crowns in my mouth, crunching on regular ice is not good for my dental work. I read a lot of articles discussing the pros and cons of different ice machines, looking for one that could give me ice like you’d find at Sonic Drive Inn… Sonic ice now has some serious competition with the GE Opal ice machine!"

Texture aside, the standout feature of the GE Opal machine is that it pumps out up to 38 pounds of nugget ice every 24 hours. That means that—whether you’re hosting a summer BBQ or trying to keep up with your daily latte addiction—you’ll always have crunchy ice on hand. To that end, the first batch of ice is ready in just ten minutes, and its extra-large capacity holds up to three pounds of ice at time. “It makes A LOT of ice, enough that even with a whole night of partying we didn't run out,” another Amazon reviewer reports. “The ice is a nice texture and it's easy to scoop out. It's not much louder than our fridge, and if you don't use the ice before it melts, the water recirculates to be frozen again…easy to clean and overall excellent quality!”
