Have only had the ice maker hooked up for 3 days, but so far I am very pleased with my purchase.  I fits nicely in my bar, and makes crescent shaped ice.  The only noise that it makes is when in dumps ice into an empty bin.  If anything, it makes more ice than we can use in a day's time.  Since it is also a freezer, it keeps the ice frozen.  It will be easy to stockpile ice for parties and holidays.
