Product review (5 stars): Works as advertised - No problems.
I have enjoyed this icemaker - It has already paid for itself in preventing me from having to buy bags of ice for parties and such.
It looks fine sitting on my counter - the red is nice color and it doesn't look as obtrusive as you may think.
It isn't loud although you can hear it when it drops the harvest of ice.  Easy to use and quickly performs it's tasks.
