FRIGIDAIRE EFIC128AMZBLK Compact Countertop Ice Maker, 26 lb per Day, Black

We are always running out of ice and this has solved the problem. I wish I would have bought this a long time ago. This ice maker is excellent and will delivery the 26 lbs. of ice per day. What a lot of people don't understand about countertop ice makers is that when the ice is made it is about 27 degrees and the ice maker is not a storage freezer. Think of it like the ice that was just made will sit in the ice maker which is like keeping ice in a cooler. It won't get colder it will just slowly melt and then gets turned back into ice again. Keep in mind when you pull ice out of your kitchen freezer that has been in there for several hours it is around 0 degrees vs. the 27 degrees right out of the countertop ice maker. So, ice from your freezer is going to last a lot longer in a drink than ice out of this countertop ice maker. So, that may not be ideal for some if you are having a drink outside on a hot day and not using an insulated cup. For best results take the ice out of the countertop ice maker and put it in a gallon ziplock bag and place it in the freezer for a little while so it will get down to the 0 degrees. That is not necessary though. The ice that comes right out of the machine is plenty cold enough for drinking beverages indoors. If you want to use the ice outdoors just place the ice in an insulated cup. Pros: Very quality built machine. Very easy to use. It uses lights to notify you of the status rather than annoying beeps. It really does make 26 lbs. of ice in an hour. First ice in about 8 minutes. Full basket of ice in about an hour. Pauses itself when ice basket is full and will resume ice production automatically as soon as some ice is removed. Light comes on when water needs to be added (keep in mind you still have a full basket of ice when this triggers). Melts very slowly and if you leave it on over night it only comes on once or twice to replace the ice that melted. Quite operation. It doesn't take up a lot of countertop space so we are able to leave it out and it matches our stainless steel fridge. It comes with a nice ice scoop which is great for parties. This ice maker keeps dropping ice every 8 minutes. The cord is very long so it doesn't have to be right up against the outlet. Cons: The only con I have about the machine is trying to drain the water remaining when you are done using it. There is a drain plug underneath it that is a little tricky to use because you can't see underneath the machine and you can't just turn the machine upside down to drain it per their instructions. That will harm the machine. What I found to be a great solution is instead of using the drain plug I use a microfiber towel to soak up all the water left in the machine. That only takes a quick second and you don't have to move the ice maker over the sink to drain it. I then leave the lid open to make sure it dries out. So it really isn't a con if you use the microfiber towel. It is so easy this way which means I never mind using the machine even to make a small amount of ice.

I read all the reviews and watched the videos that were hooked up to this particular product. The machine does what everyone says it does.Makes ice very quickly. Ice stays frozen for a long period of time it has a slow melt. You must read the instructions very carefully. when you first take it out of the box have it sit for a couple hours so that the Freon will settle. After that not an issue continually making ice and will let you know when you need to empty the ice bin or if you need to add water pretty quiet machine as well. Very pleased with the purchase

Great Little Ice Maker. We purchased this because our ice make in the fridge broke, so this was a temporary replacement. Turn out, this is better than the ice maker in the fridge. It is quicker and make better ice. This was a great surprising purchase. The only issue I have is the sound. It is not overly loud, but it is not whispler quiet either. But, its not too much to deal with/ In addition, the cleaning is not the easiest thing in the world. it is just a small space, but that is not something you have to do often.

Great little Ice maker. I have 3 Frigidaire Ice makers, and this one is a smaller model. It would absolutely have 5 stars but it's a little loud to sleep with in a camper and it works best if you unload it and put the ice in the freezer as it doesn't keep the ice forever. It will melt in a few hours and will make more to keep the tray full. It is fast though! Plug it in and just a few minutes later you have Ice!

After experiencing persistent issues with the ice maker in our relatively new Samsung refrigerator—including a replacement that failed within six weeks—we decided to purchase this standalone Frigidaire unit. We already own a Frigidaire beverage cooler for our garage that has performed excellently, and this experience has been just as positive. The assembly was exceptionally straightforward, and I was pleased to see it producing high-quality ice cubes within just ten minutes of setup. While it is clear that Samsung could learn a thing or two from Frigidaire, it is worth noting that I have been told by industry professionals that integrated refrigerator ice makers rarely have long lifespans, making this standalone alternative a much better investment.

This works EXACTLY as the description states and makes ice so SUPER FAST it's unreal!! I haven't had it very long and I've made about 6 full batches of ice and have them in my Freezer in Zip Lock bags. I haven't used it long enough to know if as others have stated that the ice making little stems start rusting. I alway very carefully put a lint free cloth back on them to wipe off any drips and then I leave it open to completely dry when I'm done using and ALWAYS pull the plug on the bottom to drain it and take the little filter inside off and dry it completely. Don't forget to plug the on the bottom back on before you store it away for next use or your water will go right back onto the Counter. It makes ALOT of ice when you fill it to the max line inside the reservoir. Seems like I've just gone about my business I hear it stop dropping ice into the basket and it's full and needs to be emptied. IF, I get busy and forget to pay attention the Ice will melt and just go back into the reservoir to make more ice again so no big deal. So far I just love this machine!! My Samsung Fridge that is awesome stopped making ice and has been making a TOTAL mess inside my Fridge with water all over underneath the bottom of my Crisper section. If you look at the cost of replacing the Icemaker, this machine is a great value. Seems like ALOT of folks are having the same issue with their Samsung Fridge Icemakers. Shame on Samsung because I paid over $3K for my Fridge just a few years a go, and of course it is out of Warranty!!!

So I bought this ice maker back in Feb this year. First of all it is awkward to handle and move but I can live with that. From the get-go it was glitchy. It would sometimes say the ice was full when it was not. It also often said I needed to add water when there was water in the tank. But this was only sometimes and turning it off and on 2-3 times usually fixed the problem. But it has steadily gotten worse so that now it permanently tells me to add water. I thought, well maybe it needs to reset completely so I drained it dry and turned it back on. As would be expected, it was empty, it told me to add water so I filled the tank. And once again it keeps telling me to add water. Again I turned it off and on a few times to ,hopefully, recycle it but it just keeps saying I need to add water. I even checked the place where the water comes out of the tank into the ice making part. There was no blockage. I have tried everything I can think of, it just doesn't work. After 9 mos of use 2-3 x/week and good care, I drain it regularly and keep it clean, it has become useless. So now I have to get rid of it in an environmentally conscious way. What a pain. Avoid this product. Let me add more. I attempted to return this piece of junk. First I went to the frigidaire website as directed by Amazon. There I found an 800 number which I called, and after being on hold for approximately 45 mins, I spoke w/ a person who informed me that Frigidaire does not make this Frigidaire product. Some outfit by the name of Curtis Industries, or some such, is actually the manufacturer. I was given their 800 number and this took me to a person who insisted on trying to sell me a medical device I did not need or want. There was never any opportunity to talk to anyone about this lousy ice maker. If you want an ice maker, buy any one but this one.

This is a great buy!! I love it!! We bought a much more expensive ice maker & I hated it!! Sadly… we waited too long to return. But… we should’ve! We still have the original box, etc. What a loss!! I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS ICE MAKER!!

Je l'adore va super bien et fait bien son travail je le recommande à tous légèrement bruitante quand elle prépare rapidement les glaçons et après mais c'est un léger detail normal bref une belle achat que j'ai fait

Es de las mejores compras de electrodomésticos que he hecho! Tardan como 8-9 min en hacer cada ronda de hielos, pero me sirve bastante

Tenía meses batallando con la máquina de hielos de mi refrigerador y un montón de dinero tirado porque no quedaba bien y esta máquina vino a resolver todos mis problemas , siempre hay hielo suficiente para todos , fácil manejo , cabe en cualquier parte , de buen material y combina con el acero inoxidable del resto de los aparatos de cocina . Ligeramente ruidosa al principio pero luego te acostumbras y ya ni lo notas . Los hielos son un poco más pequeños que los del refrigerador pero enfrían bien y no se derriten rápido en la bebida . Muy contenta con mi compra

Useful ice maker that arrived when it said it would.

La meilleure machine! Elle fait de la glace rapidement et la conserve assez longtemps en glaçons. Je n'ai pas l'air climatisée et il a fait très chaud et la machine a été très performante.
