What Customers Are Saying

This ice maker is praised for producing high-quality, "nugget" or "pellet" ice that is ideal for drinks and smoothies. Many customers describe the ice as "great", "awesome", and "the best ever". The machine is also noted for being quiet and efficient, generating large quantities of ice with minimal effort. However, a small number of customers have experienced issues such as loud noises, leaks, and problems with the drain or water system. The installation process was also found challenging by some. Overall, this appears to be a high-quality appliance that delivers on its promise of excellent ice production, though a few users have encountered problems.

Great Product - Replacing Premium Brand

Would Recommend

Great appliance. Replacing my premium brand (U-line mistake)! GE is quieter, faster, more efficient, more reliable. Panel front and all dimensions are very standard so perfect fit for under counter/built in.

Perfect Ice Machine for Home use

Would Recommend

We searched far and wide when looking for the perfect pebble ice machine and kept coming back to this model. It has everything you need plus more. We especially love the Wi-Fi connectivity with the App so that we can schedule when the machine should run. The App even tells you the Filter usage. We were able to have a custom door built for the unit so that it blends in with the kitchen. The best part is that the ice is perfection!

CRUNCH ON!

The machine makes great nugget ice which I love to crunch on! It operates very quietly and produces enough ice to keep my entire family in cold drinks.

Ice is good, machine is not

I've had this installed for 2 days. The unit continues to error out telling me I need to change the filter and beeping and then I reset it. After a few hours it will then error out again. One of the sensors was just hanging loose inside the machine bouncing around. Quality control lacking

Love the ice after some glitches with the install.

The manual is the worst , absolutely no information. When is it glitched I had no idea what to do or check . Not looking forward to the clean cycle since the directions are not clear

Excellent production

Would Recommend

We purchased this ice maker a month ago and are so pleased with it. We bought the panel ready which was easy to install. The hookup required us buying a hose for drain, but it was easy to install. This machine produces ice quickly and is very quiet while doing so. I would recommend this product to anyone!

GE Free Standing Ice Maker

Great icemaker. Makes the small cubes so if you are looking for bigger cubes consider a different model. Way better than my previous Electrolux icemaker which I had nothing but problems with from day one. All in all GE Monogram makes a good product.

Pretty, but Cafe line has quality issues

Would Not Recommend

We replaced our entire kitchen with new Cafe appliances thinking that the high price would translate into in quality, reliable products, including a Cafe Nugget Ice Maker. The Cafe line is pretty...no question about it. However, of the 5 Cafe appliances we purchased, two of them have had persistent quality issues from day 1, including the ice maker.

New undercover ice maker that doesn't make ice or

Would Not Recommend

Bought to replace 15year old monogram. Hooked new on to water, drain, power. Put a few quarts of water in ice catch to verify drain. Nothing. No drain an alarms after a few min. Called for help spending hours on the phone. They want to come service, but can't come out for month. Said send a new one and take this back they said can't help till Monday. This is all after delivery pushed out twice the night before. Horrible experience and nothing like monogram used to be.
