Product review (5 stars): Della Ice Maker - Great little device!
As our freezer ice maker could not keep up with demand for my family, we started looking at small ice makers. Amazon offers so many but they all kind of look the same until you read each review and look elsewhere for more details.

The DELLA is awesome! Ours arrived well packaged and protected. Took it out of the box and let it sit for the hour it suggests in the manual. After cleaning the inside and items as suggested, we began making ice. It's fast and consistent during this process. You can set two sizes and I suppose if you used one of those water bottles, the small would be great for this. For us, the large was the way to go.

After tossing the first cubs made just to avoid the plastic taste, we just let it run all day long. For us we learned it drops new cubes about every 7-8 minutes like clock work. The only issue we have found is that the cubes are a little wet and if you juts tossed them in the freezer, they will clump together. A simple fix for this, we place new cubes on a cookie sheet in the freezer and wait for the next batch before dropping them into our ice bucket. This seems to work out well for us.

Yes, it's a little more work but worth it as this little gizmo makes ice like crazy unlike our freezer ice maker. They are wet I assume by the process and speed it makes ice. Our freezer ice maker does the same thing just quite as bad as it's in the freezer. If you leave the cubs in the bin until the process stops on it's own... You may have a big chunk of ice instead of cubes. With this in mind, we let it drop 4 or 5 times and then pull them to cookie sheet.

The cubes are just right for us made in a good size for glasses with a round shape with a hole in the top of each one. Oddly, this shape and size appears to melt slower in the glass. Much easier to grab and get into the glass without dropping any on the floor.

All in all and for the price, we feel this was a great buy and is proving to be a great ice maker. A couple of small adjustments to habit and we see this being a trusty ice maker that will help us get through the summer months here in Arizona without ever buying bag of ice.
