Product review (5 stars): It finally died a slow and painful death and needed to be replaced
have had a countertop ice maker for four years. Even though it was a countertop model, it was still very big and clunky. It finally died a slow and painful death and needed to be replaced. I am not huge on forking out a couple hundred dollars at the drop of a hat so I looked around for a good bit before I chose one I liked. I chose this DELLA portable ice maker because it had everything I needed and it was reasonably priced at its list price.

I was a little bit let down when Prime Shipping wasn't available for this and it seemed that it would take a while to arrive; however, this seller ROCKS because it got to my house a full three days before I expected it to and I do watch to see when packages are coming for the most part. This is so easy to set up and use. You just take it out of the box and plug it in so it sits for 30 minutes in standby mode. You then wipe it out with clean water and fill the bottom part underneath where the ice basket sits with water, hit the button to make the ice and away it goes. Now being that it is a new appliance, I did make three batches of ice that I threw away to ensure that it is clean and purified and the ice doesn't take funny. It doesn't - the ice is a great size and tastes like it should.

The size of the ice cubes is a good size for just about anyone. My old icemaker had three different cube settings and honestly I couldn't tell the difference between small, medium or large. This one just makes the one size but that is all you really need. It's much quieter than my old ice maker was, and I look forward to using this into the future. I was so lucky to receive this icemaker at a discounted price in exchange for my unbiased review; however, my review is based on my honest experience with the machine. I rarely write reviews so soon after receiving a product but this product is so great that I just couldn't wait!!!!!
