Yep, the GE Profile Opal 2.0 XL does have WiFi connectivity, which means you can control and keep an eye on your ice maker right from your phone.
With the app, you can set up ice-making schedules, get maintenance alerts, and even fix small issues no matter where you are. It's pretty handy if you want to always have ice ready for parties or everyday use without having to check on the machine all the time.
Along with WiFi, the GE Opal 2.0 XL also doesn’t need to be hooked up to a water line. It's got a built-in water tank, and there's an additional 1-gallon side tank to increase how much ice it can make.
The manufacturer says this setup can boost ice production by up to three times. This feature is nice if you don’t want to deal with plumbing or if you want to be able to move the ice maker around your house, like from the kitchen to the patio.
The side tank uses gravity to feed water into the ice maker, so you might need to adjust it now and then to keep the water flowing right, based on our research.
This could be especially useful if you're short on counter space or want an easier setup without permanent fixtures.
If you often have people over or just need a lot of ice, the side tank means fewer refills and a steady supply of that chewy, quick-cooling nugget ice.
Our research shows that people really like the flexibility of not being stuck in one place with the machine.
So overall, the GE Profile Opal 2.0 XL is a great pick if you want a tech-savvy ice maker with the added convenience of being portable and easy to move around.
