When it comes to hosting big family events or parties, overlooking smaller needs can result in disasters of epic proportions.
As someone who's been to plenty of Christmas parties over the years, nobody wants to be in the kitchen when the last pig in a blanket gets swiped away right in front of their nose.
One of the most least-talked about needs for parties includes ice, which is a necessity to keep drinks cold and gives you something to chew on and look busy with when you're wanting to be anti-social.
Well, ahead of the holiday wave of Thanksgiving and Christmas, the GE Profile Opal Ultra Ice Maker may be your perfect solution as it's also nearly 30% off during Amazon
Prime Day, which runs through Wednesday, Oct. 7.
Below, you'll learn more about the ice maker and how to elevate your hosting.

What real buyers think of the GE Profile Opal Ultra ice maker
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This is hands down the best ice maker I’ve purchased! The ice is exactly the nugget-style ice I was looking for—soft and perfectly chewable, not the super hard little pieces that some other brands make." — Amazon customer review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "It makes a lot of ice fairly quick and because of the double sided storage bin it doesn't instantly melt. I like the self cleaning feature on it, the performance of it and would buy it again." — Amazon customer review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My household can go through the ice and it is able to keep up and stay ahead of us. I love the ice and have quit running to my local drive-in for my daily fix. The ice does melt, but slowly and as I said it easily keeps us in ice. I have no complaints and no regrets." — Amazon customer review
