Frigidaire EFIC115 Extra Large Ice Maker, Stainless Steel, 48 lbs per Day

****UPDATED REVIEW 7/5/18**** Just making it clear, I bought the 48lb/day ice maker, and my review is for that one. I received this two days ago. It is quite heavy so you may need an extra person to help lift. In the photos provided, you can see that my ice maker is filled. These ice cubes are large. This ice maker has been wonderful so far. The ice is wet, and sticks together if the bucket gets full, but its so easy to just break them apart. I toss my basket of ice into a small cooler for my mother, who has trouble walking, and by the time the small cooler is empty I have an entire basket full of ice again. The first thing I noticed was that, when first starting up, the ice is tiny. I was concerned, but just thought it needed time to properly freeze the ice. After some time, the ice that was coming out was large. So, if your ice maker is producing small cubes at first, just give it time. The maker creates a humming noise, much like a refrigerator, but it's not bothersome. After our fridge died from flood water damage, we were buying ice at $5 for 2 bags, multiple times a week. That adds up! If this maker continues to do it's job it will save us a lot of money in the long run. UPDATE 7/5/18: I've had this machine since November of 2017. It still works perfect. I've had absolutely no issues with the machine at all. Still continues to make ice, and we haven't bought a bag of ice since getting this. Where I live, bags of ice cost $3 each. Given the amount of ice my family uses, that's a bag of ice every other day. So, counting November and July, I've had it for 9 months; 36 weeks; 252 days. Half 252 (every other day of buying ice)= 126. So, if I had not had this machine, I would have spent 126x$3.00= $378 on bags of ice in 9 months. $378 minus the cost of the machine at the time I bought it (149.98 rounded up to 150.00) I have saved $228 on ice. Not bad, right? I'm more than happy with this purchase. It's been nice not having to worry about going to the store because I ran out of ice. 10/10 would definitely recommend and also buy again.

I am addicted to ice! There, I've admitted it. Also, I won't drink water if it tastes. Chlorine or anything else, to me, is horrible. So I drink distilled water. Also, we need distilled water for our CPAP machines and my husband's nose. So my ice machine only gets distilled water. Needless to say, the ice machine is MINE! I initially bought a small one. It made great ice, but we kept running out. So we got this Frigidaire. It is awesome! Not only does it make ice enough for me, my husband, and my son, but it just keeps on and on. I like the smaller pieces. But honestly, it doesn't matter. You can set it to small, medium, or large. It doesn't get larger, just thicker. We are very happy with it. It is fast, and it runs all the time. Stops when it is full, but otherwise, it is making ice. We highly recommend it over several other brands we have had.

First let me say, this was the second unit I have purchased. The first unit lasted for 2 plus years so when it quit working, I ordered the same unit again because we really liked the large capacity and larger ice cubes. Unfortunately, the 2nd unit lasted only 4 months and it just mysteriously quit working. I immediately contacted Frigidaire who had me contact an outside company who provides their warranties. I reached out to them and I was provided an email with instructions to submit photos of the unit and a description of the issue. I did just that and was informed that I would have a response in 2-3 days. A week later, I finally received a response from the warranty company after I sent another inquiring email. The response was that I would receive a response in 2-3 business days. I did receive a response the next day instructing me to package the unit and return it to California for further inspection. While I am happy to return the unit if it is guaranteed to be replaced but this is not the case. The return specifically stated for further inspection. I should also mention that the shipping cost to return the unit was nearly $100, and which I as the purchaser is responsible for. I elected not to send the unit to the warranty company due to the cost of shipping and no guarantee of replacement. While I was extremely happy with the first unit and the second until while working, the warranty department utilized by Frigidaire is very low rate! Extremely disappointed!

This thing is phenomenal. It cranks out ice like there's no tomorrow and it just keeps recycling the ice through when it doesn't get used. The large ice cubes are the perfect size (I imagine the small ones would melt much too quickly). We have it in an office environment so it gets a lot of use. It's been running non-stop for over 6 months now with no issues. It's sitting on a large counter so size isn't an issue for us, but for a small kitchen, this would probably take up too much room. The stainless steel looks very nice though. 11/27/18 update: We've been using this machine in a large office for over a year now and it has continued to perform 100% for the past year. We have to fill it with water every day but it just keeps on cranking out ice all day long and this thing is getting a lot of use. I'm very tempted to buy a second, backup machine because if it ever stops working we will really miss it. 11/16/19 update: Well the machine finally died about 6 months ago so it lasted a couple of years of constant use in a business environment. My office manager bought a replacement from a different manufacturer and in so many ways it just doesn't work nearly as well (smaller size, instructions in barely legible English, it beeps all the time for every little operation, leaks out the back etc.) When this one breaks, I'm definitely going to back to the Frigidaire.

Excelente fábrica de hielos. Muy rápida y produce hielos de muy buen tamaño y duración. La recomiendo

This is by far the best ice maker we have ever had. And we have had several. It is a bigger machine but I love the output!! Love it!!

It’s a beast

Worked great for first 6 months, then stopped working for no reason. Not worth the money for 6 months.

this ice machine works great and makes the ice at a good pace. good buy for me.
