Product review (3 stars): Great ice! But loud!
My wife and daughter love the little-nugget ice of the Scotsman, but it operates very noisy. I had a Kitchen-Aid prior to this Scotsman, and even though the Kitchen-Aid wasn't very reliable, at least it operated very quiet.  Id recommend a Scotsman, but if you're looking for quiet operation, you better look at other brands. This ice machine is the loudest appliance in our kitchen.
