Product review (5 stars): I would recommend this product to anyone looking at portable ice makers ...
This is my first portable ice maker from Della. My last one from another company (now out of business) lasted 3 years, longer than my new refrigerator's built in ice maker. After reviewing 8 others here on Amazon, all having similar specs and reviews I chose this one for cosmetic reasons, having a clean design and small foot print.

After a week of making ice the machine kicks out product as advertised and is quieter than my last ice maker. When used on a tile counter top any ice maker's noise is amplified. When used in a vented kitchen cabinet the noise is similar to my refrigerator. It lacks controls to size the ice, but I found my last one while having the controls did little to change the size of the ice. Ice from this machine is the same size produced by my last ice maker.

I would recommend this product to anyone looking at portable ice makers for the first time as well as those who might have experienced problems with another brand, in the past. I personally prefer round "soft ice" created by these portable ice makers over the normal half-moon OEM alternative. Della should make a replacement kit for failed kitchen refrigerator ice makers.
