We bought this for use in an RV.  It's worked flawlessly for 3 months now.  We make several bags of ice to store in the freezer, then pull this machine back out when we need more.  So we don't use it continuously.  As they advertise, we get our first ice within minutes of turning it on.  The tray fills up in less than an hour and we bag it for the freezer.  We took the icemaker to Disneyworld and used it to make ice continuously for 10 days.  That ice was used to keep drinks cold in a large 40-quart ice chest.  The icemaker worked great for this use although the quantity of ice we could produce was a little low for such a large ice chest.  Once we got the drinks cold, this icemaker made just enough ice to keep drinks cold.  We use distilled water to keep particulates out.  We primarily use the small "cube" setting because these are just right for drinking glasses.  So it's all about the quantity of ice that you need.  For relatively low usage for perhaps 2-3 people, this icemaker is what you need.  It's produces a low hum which isn't overly noisy except when ice is plunking into the tray every few minutes.  I'm very happy with this icemaker.
