Danby DIM1524W Conclusion

The Danby DIM1524W is another portable ice maker that really stands out among the competition. One way it does this is by having a very easy-to-use digital control panel.  Another huge advantage held by the DIM1524W is that it comes with an 18 month warranty on both parts and labor, the most comprehensive warranty offered in the industry. The DIM1524W has a self-cleaning feature where the user adds equal parts water and vinegar and the unit runs these through all of its compartments and coils. This allows the user to not have to worry about upkeep as much as with competing models that do not have this feature.

A distinguishing feature of the Danby DIM1524W portable ice maker is its large size. This allows it to have a much greater storage capacity (3 lbs of ice as opposed to the industry average 2-2.5 lbs), but also causes some problems. The DIM1524W is heavier than many of its competitors, as well as being too tall to fit under most kitchen cabinets. It is available only in white, which obviously matches some appliances but may not blend in well with others found in more modern kitchens. Given its advantages and despite its setbacks, the Danby DIM1524W is a quality portable ice maker that will meet the expectations of most ice-needing consumers.
