Product review (5 stars): I am very happy with this product
I am very happy with this product! I will admit that I was extremely skeptical of this product given that the price was EXTREMELY reasonable and the replacement for the unit in my boat was $1600. The only difference between this and the U-Line I had in my boat was that it does not make ice as fast, but given that I have multiple units on my boat this wasn't a true concern for me. Before purchasing I made a pass through all of the negative reviews to get a sense of what the concerns might be. One that stood out was that the unit was extremely noisy/loud. Let me put that to rest, the unit is not loud at all and in fact it is much more quiet than the U-Line unit I previously had. I have two fridges, the ice machine, and a wine fridge in my kitchen and I don't even hear the ice machine and I would say the total noise from all is barely any. So far with 6-10 people on the boat drinking cocktails we seem to be able to manage fine with the amount of ice being produced (that was another complaint).

Another thing to mention is that the first attempt to deliver the ice machine was weird, not sure what happened but the unit wasn't on the porch after the delivery company said it was delivered - weird because I was home all day. Nonetheless, I only mention this because after emailing back and forth with the company (CompactAppliance) they were amazing. They did a verification on their end, etc. and then quickly resolved it and had a new unit delivered quickly. I was impressed and really appreciated their customer service.

I recommend this ice machine!
