Overview
Large 1.57 inch square ice cubes come out of this countertop maker at up to 22 lbs a day, filled manually from a 2.0 liter tank instead of a plumbed water line.
Frigidaire built this around large square cubes rather than the smaller bullet-shaped ice common on countertop makers, aimed at drinks where slower-melting cubes matter. It runs off a manual fill tank, so no water line hookup is needed, and a touch panel controls the self-cleaning cycle and viewing window light. Rated at a maximum 43 dB, it is positioned for kitchens or bar carts where noise matters.
- 22 lbs of ice produced per day
- 3 cubes per cycle, about 25 minutes per batch
- Touch control panel with viewing window
- 2.0 liter manual fill tank, no plumbing needed
Who it's for
Kitchens, bars, or offices that want large clear cubes without running a water line are the target, provided someone can refill a 2.0 liter tank as needed. Suits smaller households since the ice basket holds about 1.0 kg at a time. Not a fit for anyone wanting continuous plumbed ice production.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Large 1.57 inch square cubes
- Rated at 43 dB maximum
- Full ice alert and water shortage indicator
- Manual fill tank means no continuous water hookup
- Small basket capacity, about 1.0 kg at a time
Performance notes
Each cycle produces three square cubes at a time, reaching a full batch in about 25 minutes and up to 22 lbs across a day of cycling. The touch panel handles the self-clean function and alerts for a full ice bin or low water, while the manual 2.0 liter tank needs periodic refilling since there is no hookup to a water line.
