Product review (5 stars): Same look and performance as Chard unit for less $$$
We have an old farm house and do not trust the well water for drinking or ice. We have been using a similar unit from Chard for the last 3 years, but the ice dump tray on the Chard unit break ls about every 6 months. I finally had enough of repairing the unit from Chard and decide to try the Della. At $80 less than the Chard unit, the Della looks and performs identical to the Chard. The reviews are correct that the first few batches of ice will need to be thrown out due to a plastic taste, but that will go away in a couple of batches. The unit consitantly has ice ready and performs exactly as advertised. My hope is that the design flaw in the ice tray breaking in the Chard unit has been corrected in this unit....time will tell.
