Product review (1 stars): Misery
My goodness is this device LOUD!  My husband had been waiting months for an ice maker (specifically one that made clear ice) so when he finally got around to ordering this one he was absolutely delighted, I on the other hand couldn't be any more dismayed.  I work from home and this machine sounds like a robotic vacuum cleaner running on autopilot. So unless you are deaf or plan on turning the machine off every time you are done using it I strongly advise against the purchase of this ice maker.  The concept is terribly stupid, its my understanding the machine takes the water converts it to ice, then allows the ice to melt and then takes the same water and recycles it back into ice again and this process continues hundreds if not thousands off times through out the day.  Whereas a ice maker in your freezer simply makes the ice once keeps it frozen, hence conserving, energy, wear and tear on the motor/moving parts and less NOISE!
