Overview
The Frigidaire EFIC128AMZBLK is a black countertop ice maker that turns out 9 bullet-shaped cubes every 5-6 minutes, up to 26 lbs a day. It suits kitchens, bar carts, or RVs that need steady ice without plumbing into a water line.
- 26 lbs of ice per day capacity
- 9 cubes per 5-6 minute cycle
- 13 x 11 x 12.5 inch footprint
- Basket-full and low-water indicators
Who it's for
Suits anyone entertaining regularly, running a bar cart, or backing up a slow or broken fridge ice maker who wants a countertop unit that starts working within minutes of adding water. Not a fit for anyone wanting to store ice long term in the unit itself, since it has no freezing function.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Most reviewers report fast cycles and describe the noise as comparable to a background fan, with one owner clocking about 2 cups of ice every 30-40 minutes. The complaint that recurs at the one-year mark is the water-level sensor sticking, and one buyer found small metal fragments in the reservoir after over a year of use.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Produces a full cycle of ice in 5-6 minutes
- Recycles melted water instead of wasting it
- Compact enough for tight counter space
- See-through window shows fill level at a glance
- Does not keep finished ice frozen
- Water-level sensor reportedly wears out around year one
- Running compressor adds background noise
Performance notes
Each cycle takes 5-6 minutes and yields 9 cylindrical cubes, cycling continuously until the basket sensor detects a full load or the tank runs low on water. Melted water is recycled back into the reservoir instead of drained, which keeps the machine self-contained but means the ice in the basket is always partially reverting to liquid between cycles. At 105W on R600a refrigerant, it runs like a small compressor fridge rather than a passive cooler.

Questions about the Frigidaire EFIC128AMZBLACK
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Does the Frigidaire EFIC128AMZBLK keep ice frozen once it's made?
No. It's built to produce ice, not store it cold, so cubes left in the basket will start to melt and should be moved to a freezer if you're not using them right away.
How much ice does the EFIC128AMZBLK make per day?
Up to 26 lbs in 24 hours, working in 5-6 minute cycles that yield 9 cubes each.
What power does the EFIC128AMZBLK draw?
It's rated at 105W and uses R600a refrigerant, similar to a small compressor-based fridge.
