Product review (2 stars): Very noisy
We have had this unit for 5 months.  It arrived and from the start the light did not work.  The unit is also extremely noisy even though we have it set at the lowest possible setting.  It was noisy from the start and not something that happened with time.  Our unit is in a hallway behind closed doors, so at least we don't have to listen to it very often.  I would not recommend this unit for a kitchen or living room.  I called Avanti, they offered to send a replacement light but said they cannot send anybody out and that some noise was normal for this unit.  The unit does cool drinks nicely but after 5 months, there is already considerable ice build up at back of unit and it will need to be defrosted.  I regret this purchase.
