Product review (3 stars): Loud but good otherwise.
The unit is loud. When it is making ice it makes a noise that actually interferes with the sound from the television. So it's a joy when the ice bin is filled because the machine goes into a sleep mode.  I did everything the instructions said. Like let stand for 2 hours before starting, I actually waited 48 hours, but still get a lot of noise. I'm thinking of sending it back, but I will wait a little before I decide. I'm hoping it will get quieter.

As for the unit itself, it is a well made unit and extremely easy to use. It's the quintessential PLUG & PLAY. It starts making ice in less than ten minutes and makes about 8 cubes every 6 or 7 minutes after that. So far the only probem I see is the noise.
