Overview
Frigidaire's EFIC130 line puts this red stainless ice maker on the counter, producing up to 26 lbs of bullet ice a day in two sizes from a 2.3 quart reservoir, with an ice shovel included.
- 26 lbs of ice per day
- 6 minute ice cycle
- 2.3 quart water reservoir
- See-through window to monitor ice level
Who it's for
Good for anyone needing a portable ice source where there is no plumbed in fridge ice maker, particularly if chilled water is used to start each batch for truer cube size. Not the choice for buyers expecting ice to stay frozen for hours without attention.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Long time owners describe it as a dependable way to get ice without a plumbed line, with several noting that starting with chilled water improves cube size. Recurring complaints include a false ice full alert that halts production and uncertainty about how many years the unit will last, with a few reviewers pointing out that Frigidaire, Igloo and RCA branded compact ice makers all appear to share the same Curtis International design.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Produces up to 26 lbs of ice a day
- Two cube sizes selectable from the panel
- Includes an ice shovel for scooping
- Compact enough for counters with limited space
- Some units report a false ice full message that halts production
- Does not keep finished ice frozen in the bin
- Longevity varies, with some owners replacing similar units every couple of years
Performance notes
A batch of bullet ice forms in as little as 6 minutes from the 2.3 quart tank, and starting with cold or refrigerated water helps cubes reach full size faster, according to several reviewers. As with other machines on this platform, ice sitting in the bin is not refrigerated and will gradually melt and recirculate.
