Product review (4 stars): A wonderful addition to my kitchen
A few years ago our ice machine in the freezer broke down because it was leaking water like crazy and destroying my hardwood floor. We had to disable it as the refrigerator is not worth the cost of repairing. Because of this we have been without ice for drinks, ice packs, etc until now. I have a decently sized kitchen with a lot of counter space so finding a counter top ice maker, which I had no idea existed, has been pretty awesome.

Putting the ice machine together was fairly easy. I had to wipe it out with a cloth, soap and water. I then filled the basin with water and in less than an hour I had ice! It is fairly quiet. My dog used to startle and bark every time the ice maker went off. The dog barely notices when this one creates ice. The ice maker allows you to create different sizes of ice. I prefer the medium sized cubes (which are actually teeny tiny igloos) but they can melt if left in there too long without a new creation of cubes.

I prefer to use a pitcher with water filter before pouring the water in my machine. The ice is clear and tastes great. My only problem with this ice machine is that it stops creating ice when the sensor is covered. This can happen when the ice bin is less than half full so it is important to use the scoop to move the ice around when you think about it. Overall, this machine has been awesome. It's nice to have access to this again.

I purchased this della 48 pound daily counter top ice maker at a deep discount so I could offer my review of it. All opinions are truly my own and it is my pleasure to be able to offer others my thoughts so they might be able to make informed decisions as to whether products are appropriate for them. I am not a paid reviewer and I am in no way required by the seller to leave positive remarks about their product. I gain nothing by giving this item a positve, negative or neutral review. If at any time in the future with prolonged use of any product my opinion changes, I will leave an update to my review of the product (as you can see by past reviews, that happens).
