Ice production rate (ideal conditions, observed): approximately 1 pound per hour

The ice nuggets themselves have a good mouthfeel, crunchy without being hard. One good crunch and they instantly turn to water on your tongue.
Under ideal conditions, the Opal 2.0 produces ice at a rate of approximately one pound per hour. That’s slower than its competition.
At the time of this review, the unit we tested retails for $600. This is a lot for an ice maker
