Product review (4 stars): Very pleased with the Edge star don't waste your money on more expensive models.
I purchased this unit to replace a kitchen aid 25lb ice maker. Several reviews talk about how noisy this unit is. This is not a problem and is not as noisy as the more expensive (2800) dollar kitchen aid that only lasted 4 years and had to be repaired several times yearly. Kitchen aid unit used several gallons of water everyday most of which went down the drain. I'm very happy with the Edge star which does not waste hugh amounts of water. The only noise problem I've had was fixed by adjusting the legs. The noise was a vibration cause by unit not being level. I'm very pleased with this unit and highly recommend the Edge star.
