Product review (4 stars): A bit noisy
But it sure puts out the ice.  My grandkids like the softer smaller ice.  You get more than one choice of size.  You wouldn't want this where you can easily hear it.  I had it close by the first time and thought there was a clutzy intruder in the house!  This is the noise when the ice is falling into the reservoir.  It is a good ice maker and people go to it to get their ice instead of the icemaker in the fridge when they have a choice.  It is pretty too.
