LOUISVILLE, Ky. – July 14, 2026 – Today, GE Profile™ announced the availability of the new GE Profile™ Opal Mini Nugget Ice Maker. This compact powerhouse was redesigned from the inside out to enhance the product performance and make it easier to clean and refill – all in a sleek, space-saving design.

With counter space always in high demand, GE Profile has taken this consumer feedback for compact convenience and created a new Opal that has a 30% smaller footprint than Opal™ Ultra. Without sacrificing the demand for ice, the Opal still churns out up to 36 lbs. of the signature, snackable ice per day. Weighing 25% less than Opal™ Ultra, the lightweight design also offers a convenience new top-fill water reservoir, eliminating the need to remove the ice bin.

Ideal for urban dwellers and apartment living, as well as bar carts, dorm rooms and beverage stations, the new Opal Mini is available in standard Mini, Mini Pro and Pro+.

What’s New

  • 30% smaller than GE Profile Opal Ultra. The new design shaves two inches off both the height and width to easily fit into tighter spaces.
  • Top-fill water reservoir that ditches the side tank for an ultra-compact footprint, and a flip-open front panel for easy cleaning and descaling.
  • Drain & dry system so water easily drains from key areas, preventing build-up.
  • Large-capacity side tank so you can spend less time refilling the water. (Opal Mini Pro and Pro+)
  • New earth-tone colorways, coming this fall including Peony Pink, Moonstone Blue, and Moss Green.

“Our customers inspire every evolution of the Opal platform,” said André Zdanow, executive director of Small Appliances, FirstBuild, & CoCreate at GE Appliances. “The Opal Mini lineup delivers the same craveable nugget ice customers know and love – now in a more compact design, with meaningful performance improvements, easier maintenance and new finishes. It’s Opal, reimagined for even more homes and lifestyles.”

GE Profile is also introducing three brand new colors that nod to the growing interest from homeowners’ palettes that replace stark white kitchen spaces with earth-adjacent, warm tones. The new colors include Peony Pink, Moss Green, and Moonstone Blue. Peony Pink brings a bright, soft, floral-driven hue that feels both playful and polished while Moonstone Blue captures the soft, serene beauty of moonstone with a cool, airy hue. Rooted in the biophilic trend, Moss Green channels the calming confidence of the outdoors with a grounded, restorative presence.
