My parents bought a GE unit in 1962 (54 years) on their wedding day. I hope to get at least half that many years out of this unit. 
Our old unit (not a GE) moaned and groaned day and night.  This GE unit is quite and much more spacious and 1 cubic foot smaller. Ice maker produces a good ice cube that last longer than our previous ice cubes in our Orca cups. Had to scotch the wheels to keep the unit from rolling when pull on the door to open. Only had one week but so far so good.
