I bought this model for my remodeled kitchen. I would not recommend anybody to get this one. It's very noisy. I tried and tried to balance the frig as recommended to reduce the noise; but to no avail. If you sleep in a room next to your kitchen, you will hear it at night.

No, don't buy this one.

OK, I must admit that it looks very nice and works wonderfully but my gosh it makes a constant loud humming sound. It's actually VERY annoying. I'm going to see if maybe I can have the fan replaced to tone down the noise. I can't say that I recommend it until the company does something to fix this problem.

The unit is, in fact, very noisy. If your cooler area has high end appliances this will certainly be the noisiest. Thankfully it does not run continuously. The door frame is plastic and relatively cheap. I would not reccomend this product in a high end home.

I'd go for 3.5 stars but settle for three because although it seems to work fine it makes a highly audible cyclic humming/almost grinding noise during the cooling cycle. This is just too noticable to be located in the center of a house...my 20 yr old 48" SubZero is MUCH quieter. Also there is a LOUD annoying beep sound when turning on the light or changing the temperature (why??). I think they should have invested a few more bucks into the motors for quieter operation given its cost.

Although this cooler seems to fit my requirement, I read the previous review about the noise. I decided to call Avanti and get more information. I was shuffled between sales and service and still put on hold with no answers. They lost the sale.
