We are very happy with this purchase.  Looks great and works well.  We were almost dissuaded by the reviews mentioning noise.  It is not silent but it is not at all loud.  You can hear the compressor occasionally but only if it’s quiet in the room with no TV or talking.  Doesn’t bother us at all and is really soft white noise-like when we do hear it.  Also it was a very good price for the features and look.  Had it about 6 months and really like it.
