Ice maker works great.  Super fast. Yes, it is a little loud, but unless youre sitting in the kitchen, youre unlikely to notice.   Ice maker cleans easily.  Bought this to replace our ice maker in the freezer,  and its great to have the chewable ice nuggets.  As a tip, I put the ice in a bag in the freezer for about an hour before filling the dispenser in the freezer,  ice comes out a little wet so dumping it right into the dispenser creates a chunk that didnt break up easily.
