Product review (5 stars): What a great machine!
This is a wonderful machine!  We had the same thing, different brand, for two years and it "ran" loudly, as if the motor was struggling to keep going.  We were worried about this one's reviews, but decided to take the plunge as we love to use bottled water for our ice.  We are the proud owners of a very quiet machine that produces great quantities of ice in little time; all else works well besides.  Very happy!
