I would say it does the job and give it a higher rating, because it does do the job. However, the normal mode of operation has beeping alarms that are disturbing and no volume control or mute. I asked the company for a way to turn the feature off and they said you can not mute the alarms. It alarms and beeps every 30 minutes and people ask what the heck it is. It sounds like an emergency beep but it is only an icemaker letting you know it made ice? Would not recommend for anyone that likes peace and quiet with their icemaker.
