    I give it 5 stars for looks. Functionality is a 3-4, takes really long to start producing ice and uses tons of water very quickly. Its not really loud, but it isn't quiet either. Easy to put together and clean. Luckily I have tons of counter space cuz this thing would overpower a small space. Nothing about really screams worth the money - time will tell.

    Kind of noisy and there’s no insulation so the ice is constantly melting making it very inefficient.

    We bought one of these and originally loved the way it made ice, but shortly it started making a grinding noise and quit producing much ice. Returned the ice maker and bought another based on the assurance that no others had the same issue. Second time around, same thing occurred. We are in the process of working with GE to get this second one returned to them and see if one direct from their factory will have better results. Perhaps this was a bad batch of machines to one best buy store. We will love it and the ice it makes if it continues to do so without the horrible sound. I have been told by GE that this is NOT the noise of it defrosting and is definitely not the way it was intended to operate. I will adjust my review once I know I have seen one work to its fullest.
