The hole on the bottom that is stuffed with packaging material, leave it or take it out?

If you click on "Show More" at the bottom of the description, you will see this, "Drain Plug : Remove to easily drain water from the unit when not in use." I would guess they include a plug to put in the hole when you are not draining it.

i want to be able to fill my big ice chest in the morning before i go to work. will this machine put enough ice into the basket for this?

That really depends on the size of your big ice chest. In practice, I've found that this basket holds just under a pound of ice before the sensor gets blocked and shuts it down. It will hold about 1.5 pounds if you shake the basket and level out the ice. Dump the ice into something else every hour, or so, and you will have plenty of ice to fill most work coolers.

Is this something you keep plugged in or only when you use it? Hope this isnt a stupid question

Not a stupid question at all! I do leave mine plugged in for several days at the time when I need it extra ice for company or just to fill a bag too have on hand. I unplug it when I don’t need it and wipe it out. I’ve had no problems unplugging it or just leaving it plugged in. Hope this help!

Is this ice maker suppose to be loud like a bearing going out when it is running?

Ours has some what I would consider non-disturbing fan noise but not squeaky or anything like that. Being a mechanical engineer, I'm thinking it has to make some noise to do what it does...we are very happy with ours.
