Ice type The documented ice form the machine produces, such as nugget or bullet. Shape names describe the freezing mechanism. They do not establish texture, clarity, melt rate or a chewable result.

Rated daily ice production The manufacturer's stated maximum ice output per 24 hours. A rating, not a measured result. Read it with the production conditions field; a figure without conditions cannot be compared fairly with one that states them.	38 lbUp to 38 lb per 24 hours. The seller table ties this figure to 70 F ambient and 60 F water and lists 32 lb per day at 90 F ambient and 70 F water per DOE.

Production test conditions The ambient and water temperatures stated for the daily production figure. Unknown means no conditions were published. Output falls as room and water temperatures rise, so an unconditioned claim is not a warm-kitchen result.	38 lb/day and 1.6 lb/h at 70 F ambient with 60 F water; 32 lb/day and 1.33 lb/h at 90 F ambient with 70 F water per DOE.Conditions appear in the Abt specification table.

Ice storage bin capacity The published amount of ice the bin or basket holds before the machine pauses. Bins are not freezers; stored ice melts back into the reservoir. Capacity is separate from daily production and from reservoir volume.	3 lb Sources · 2026-10-21 GE Appliances: Opal 2.0 series owner's manual 49-9000075 Rev. 2Checked 2026-10-21.

Time to first ice The published time from start-up to the first ice; when a range is published, the longer figure is recorded. A cycle time is not a first-ice time. Conditions are usually unstated, and manuals warn that the first nuggets or cubes can be soft or slushy.	10 minStated as about 10 minutes after start-up or 10 minutes or less. No ambient or water temperature condition is published for this figure. Sources · 2026-10-21 GE Appliances: Opal nugget ice maker family pageChecked 2026-10-21.

Water reservoir capacity The published volume of the machine's own reservoir or removable tank, with any side-tank volume noted. Reservoir volume limits how long the machine runs unattended. A side tank adds volume only when it is part of the exact package.	Internal reservoir volume not published; the XPIO13 side tank is listed by the seller at 0.75 gallon.The manual treats the side tank as an accessory that feeds the internal reservoir and gives no reservoir volume.

Water supply method How water is added: manual reservoir fill, a side tank feeding the reservoir, or a plumbed line. None of the catalogued units connects to a water line. Check the fill opening, maximum line and drain plug before planning placement.	Manual fill of the internal reservoir; a side tank connects by tube to the side-tank base and feeds the reservoir.

Side tank in this package Whether the selected US package supplies a separate side water tank. Package-level. A side tank sold as an accessory, or shown in a photograph, is not included. Model families often sell with-tank and without-tank versions.	YesThe product name and the Abt box list include the side tank; the manual marks it as included only with certain models.

Documented cleaning cycle Whether the manufacturer documents a button-started cleaning, rinse or descale cycle. A cleaning cycle is a maintenance function that still needs user-added water or descaler and draining. It is not a sanitation or hygiene guarantee.	YesClean-button cycles are documented: a 55-minute descale with the supplied citric descaler, a sanitize cycle on Ultra models and a 3-minute rinse. These are maintenance functions, not a hygiene guarantee. Sources · 2026-10-21 GE Appliances: Opal 2.0 series owner's manual 49-9000075 Rev. 2Checked 2026-10-21.

Questions to check before buying	The GE product page displayed clearance and no-longer-manufactured wording while the GE support page lists manufacture from May 2024 to present; one seller showed the package available to order and another sold out. Confirm current availability of XPIO13SWSS before relying on it. Daily output, first-ice time and bin figures are manufacturer claims under stated or unstated conditions. No independent output, noise or ice-texture test is recorded.
