Anyone using a countertop ice maker for staging photos — is it worth it?

I do iGUIDE tours around Columbus and mostly shoot occupied homes, but I keep running into empty listings where the kitchen looks flat in the panos. I’ve been thinking about picking up a small commercial-style countertop ice maker to stage a drink setup on the counter, something I could also use between shoots. I found some third-party info online about a Euhomy IM-02 model, but I’m unsure whether a unit like that would actually read well in wide shots or just look like clutter. My main worry is noise during capture, since I usually work quietly and don’t want a compressor humming in the background of a scan. Also not sure about the footprint on standard counter depths when the camera is close. Has anyone here staged with something similar, and did it help or hurt the look? Curious how you handle appliance noise and placement during a walkthrough.
