EFIC117-SS 26 Pound Ice Maker, 26 lbs per Day, Stainless

The icemaker in my fridge broke. I was going to fix it, but I decided on this machine. It was delivered during a power failure when I was operating some appliances on a generator. In catastrophe mode, this is the way to go because the generator will operate an icemaker and keep some food from spoiling. Anyway, this thing worked right out of the box and started making ice right away. I put the ice from this machine in my freezer section's ice storage, and dispense it through the chute on the door. We use a lot of ice, and yet the machine produces more than we consume and stops automatically. I don't find the noise too loud, and it is periodic and it produces sound primarily when cycling. The steady-state sound is just a hum.

Funciona muy bien, trabaja prácticamente día y noche y súper confiable. Me sorprendió gratamente. Detalles a considerar, solo fabrica los hielos, no los mantiene congelados. Antes de una reunión debes prender la máquina al menos una hora antes para que tenga su compartimiento lleno, la máquina se encarga de fabricar más hielo y llenarlo nuevamente. Produce una carga de 6 hielos pequeños cada 6-8 minutos, con dos cargas llenas un vaso mediano, recomiendo tengas almacenado en tu congelador para que no te haga falta, es muy buena máquina pero es pequeña.

The stuff that people complain about and give poor reviews on is pure comedy! It's a countertop ice maker, don't expect artisanal ice to come out of it! There isn't anything I can complain about this ice maker. Yep, it's a little loud but I would be shocked if it was whisper quiet, the ice it makes isn't as big as you would get out of a refrigerator and yes it's going to melt unless you put the cubes in a freezer, we make a batch of cubes and put them in a containter to be used later! I recommend this ice maker!

We ended up buying this Frigidaire Portable Ice Maker after the ice maker in our fridge went out—and honestly, it turned out to be a better replacement than what we had before. Setup was super simple. Just add water, plug it in, and within minutes it starts producing ice. It’s surprisingly fast and keeps a steady supply going throughout the day, which is perfect for daily use or when you have people over. The 26 lbs per day capacity is more than enough for our household. We’ve never run out of ice, and it’s actually more convenient than relying on the fridge since it produces fresh batches continuously. The size is great too—compact enough to sit on the counter without taking up too much space, but still powerful enough to get the job done. It also runs fairly quietly, which was a nice bonus. Build quality feels solid, and it’s easy to clean and maintain. Overall, this ended up being a huge upgrade for us. If your fridge ice maker dies or you just want something more reliable and efficient, this is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

Me gustó, tarda aproximadamente de 7 a 8 minutos para hacer cada ronda de hielo, entre más tiempo está prendida funciona mejor y saca mejor hielo, muy buena para uso doméstico o comercio con bajo flujo de clientes y buen precio.
