Product review (5 stars): Great Ice Maker for those who live in an apartment or do not have a fridge that makes ice!!!
I purchased the Della Ice Maker because of the amount of ice (25 lb) it could make and that it could fit on my countertop.  I wanted to be able to make ice for iced lattes and bubble tea style drinks at home.  I was skeptical at first because I did not know how countertop ice makers worked, but this kitchen device is pretty handy and makes ice fairly quickly depending on the room temperature.  The unit is fairly easy to use and just requires an initial wipe down with warm water and a cloth.  Then you use the filling funnel and clip it to the unlatched reservoir door and fill it up to max or midway depending on how much ice you want to make.  I did not notice a huge difference in ice size (small and large). The ice is in the shape of a bullet and is hollow in the center.  The machine pumps water into a chamber that has six or so rods that freeze the water around it to make the ice cubes and then a paddle pushes the ice into the ice chamber which has a spiral gear to push the ice when you dispense it.  One note is that the manual says to change the water every 24 hours for hygiene purposes and has a water drain plug on the bottom where the drop tray is.  Overall I am happy with this purchase.
