Product review (3 stars): Construction is really poor, but if you adapt certain things it is a very nice machine.
When it works it works really well, however the unit failed after 3 loads in the course of 1 week.

I did not overload the machine, and I am a very experienced twin tub washer use, having been using twin tubs all my life (in my 50s now).
The spinner slowed down and the pump will not work while I could smell motor burn. I guess you do get what you pay for. The panda equivalent is double the price, but it has better quality motors built in. These machines are very simple and rely on 2 motors. Della needs to invest in high quality motor components. Once the motor issue is addressed it will be a wonderful product. It is big capacity and can handle a whole set of queen size sheets. But unfortunately, I have to return it. I will invest and get the big capacity Panda machine. My old trusty twin tub that I have had for decades has finally passed on, and I can no longer find any technician to service it, so with a lot of heart ache I will recycle the machine (it's a Hoovermatic, that was passed on to me by my Grand Mother).

I had to come back and write an update, based on further discoveries.

I did sent the first machine back, and got a second one. The second one started failing again after I had used it a couple of times.

This time, I took the machine apart to see what's going on. The machine internals are put together extremely poorly. There are un guarded electronics that work in conjunction with the timers to drive the motor functions and the pump.

Since, the controler is unguarded, and the water inlets leak water, the machine stops working, because the electronics get wet and the machine starts sorting out, e.g., the pump is not working, and the spin basket is not spinning at full speed. There are literarly two bare metals that are controled with the spiner door to close the circuit and operate the spin basket and the pump. When these get wet, the metals are sorting out and the machine fails.

So, if you want a big machine, by all means get this one, it cleans really well and it spins really well. Its not a Panda, but lately Panda's seem to be pulling out of the large capacity market, the only available model now it's 10lbs, they don't even offer the 15lbs model anymore. Panda's are made much much better than the Dellas. However, don't ever use the water inlets. Put water directly into the wash tub, and if you want to do an interim spin, open the spin door and put water there directly on the spin basket, which by the way it was the way the original twin tub washing machines were operating, if you need to rinse with water on the spin side, you were to put the hose there and run the water.

It is sad that the craftmanship of these machines that have huge potential is so poor. Della needs to work with their factories, or better yet, start manufacturing machines here in the states with higher quality standards. If they need to add another $50 to the price by all means, instead of selling items that are so poorly put together, one has to jerry rig them to make them work.
