Product review (3 stars): This noisy ice maker makes good ice
It makes noise.  Both operational noise and indicator beeps.  The manual is written in chinglish.  You hear the beeps when there is a fault, like a "water shortage" or "ice cube overabundance".  There are indicators on the front for these faults.  The beeps are excessive.  Not that they are too loud like a fire alarm, it is just that I do not want to be notified that the machine has made a basket full of ice cubes and it is now shutting off.  I wish the clock had a AM and PM indicator instead of having it display 24 hour military time all the time.  Please, if anyone figures out how to turn off the fault beeper, post here!  Seriously, the manual on page 1 at the top under the heading "Basic Introduction" says "You may choose from 3 select modes of ice cream production."  I suspect they are attempting to describe the three ice cube sizes.  I do like the texture of the ice that this machine makes.  I do like the way this machine makes ice and then turns off and the ice melts some so it is "soft" when you get it.  Soft ice absorbs some flavor from your drink and thus is fun to "eat" after your drink is gone.
