Frigidaire has been building reliable kitchen appliances for decades. The EFIC123-SS countertop ice maker brings that heritage into a compact, stainless steel unit designed for one thing: keeping you in ice. It’s a straightforward solution for kitchens, home bars, or offices where freezer ice production is too slow or non-existent.

It produces up to 26 pounds of ice per day. In practice, that means a fresh batch of bullet-shaped cubes is ready in about 6-8 minutes. The 1000-watt system is quick, but it’s also noticeable. You’ll hear it during the cycle. The 2.2-pound storage bin is the practical limit for a gathering; you’ll want to transfer ice to a cooler or bucket for a large party.

The stainless steel housing cleans easily and fits on most counters. At 115 volts, it plugs into a standard outlet. Just add water, press a button, and it handles the rest. This isn’t a silent or set-it-and-forget-it appliance, but for rapid, dedicated ice production, it delivers on its core promise without fuss.
