FrigidaireEFIC103-AMZ-SC Counter Top Maker with Over-Sized Ice Bucket, Stainless Steel, Self Cleaning Function, Heavy Duty, Stainless

This is a Wonderfully Amazing Machine!!! This is NOT a flimsy little machine. It is a heavy duty ice maker!!! It makes so much ice that I have to turn it off at times because my freezer is small and it gets full quickly!!! This machine has an off and on switch, so you can simply turn it off when you don't need it or when you have enough ice. The small ice cube setting makes a very large ice cube!!! It comes with a nice ice scoop that I keep in a gallon freezer bag in my freezer to dump my fresh ice into so that it will freeze hard. For those complaining about how wet the ice is when it comes out, the ice I buy in bags is wet, too!!! ICE IS WET before it freezes!!! Just put your fresh ice in a baggie, allow it to freeze hard, then break it up by slamming it on your counter, and dump it into your ice bag. At least, you won't have a huge lump of ice cubes all frozen together!!!This machine is heavy, so take it out of the box close to the table or counter where you plan to use it. You'll want to allow it to sit for 2 hours before using it because the Freon (or coolant) has to settle in the machine. The cleaning instructions are confusing, so I just wiped it down good and filled the reservoir. I threw out all the ice that it made out, drained it, and sopped up all the water, then refilled it. It makes ice very quickly, so soon I was putting ice in the freezer. I am so tickled!!! Now I don't have to remember to buy a bag of ice at the store!!! I am in ICE HEAVEN!!! This is a quality machine, so I don't expect any problems any time soon!!! However, if you are worried about it going out on you, buy the 4 year warranty like I did and then you'll have PEACE of MIND!!!UPDATE!!! In May 2018, after a year and 2 months of great service, this ice maker died! When I purchased my ice maker, I bought a 4 year warranty thru Square Trade. I have called and they have approved my claim and are going to send me a check!!! I went ahead and bought a new one. I hope that my new ice maker lasts as long as this one did!!!

So far, this countertop icemaker has been very good to us. It does make ice every six minutes as stated, and is very easy to use and refill the water tank. We have been using filtered water to cut down the scale build-up that we get because of the hard water in our house. The ice cubes are not totally clear, but that is not a problem considering this unit makes soft ice. The unit so far is been extremely reliable, consistent with the ice it makes, and also looks good on the countertop.Since it does not have any type of freezer unit built into it, just keep in mind that the ice at the bottom will eventually start to melt and drip back into the fill tank, this doesn't really seem to be an issue and if we don't use the ice for a fair amount of time, will just take the fresh cubes off the top and dump the old, and it will make new ice automatically once the level goes down. And being that it makes ice every 6 minutes it really doesn't take that long to fill the been back up.PROS:- Makes Ice Fast- Fairly Large Ice Bin and Water Tank- Ice Tastes Great especially when using filtered water- Looks and Fits Well on Standard Countertop- Easy to MaintainCONS:- A bit more noisy than most would like but it only takes a few days to get used to it then you don't really notice it all that much.- Ice will build up at the dispenser point and sometimes not fill the ice bin up all the way. This is a minor irritant and is easily fixed by casually opening the ice bin lid and using the included scoop to knock the ice into the bin.I've looked at a lot of different ice machines and read a lot of different reviews and came to the conclusion that this one seems like it has the best of both worlds, a decent price, and decent performance. So far I have not been disappointed. I would recommend this for anybody that's looking for a cost-effective decent icemaker that will crank out lots of ice 24 seven when needed.

I did get this to get some ice, because our freezer ice maker broke. The bill to fix the ice maker was 300, so I did get this ice machine and saved 200 in the process.It works great; it is fast and make ice reliably; although after a week, the water sensor went off. Fundamentally, when the botton area that contains the water, reach a certain level, the water sensor goes off and the machine stop, so you won't burn the pump.This machine has a design flaw from what I can tell, which cause the water sensor to fail; so even if there is no water or the water is low; the pump goes on, and if you are not careful, it will burn. The outcome of this is poorly made cubes; due to the fact that there is not enough water to fill the basket. I did contact the manufacturer to get an idea about a repair or replacement, since I have no time to verify if there is enough water, and for the first week, the low water sensor was working; stopping the machine and turning on the LED that indicate low water level.Other than that, it does its job, Ice stay cold for a while, but if you leave it in the machine, it start to melt and you end up with a melted mess of ice, instead than single cubes. so you may want to grab the ice as soon as it is done, and put it in the freezer; because this ice machine makes ice but does not act like a freezer.Last annoying thing is the cleaning part; since you need to open a side valve to purge the water from the bottom of the device. The hole used for purging is the same used by the pump to get the water; so there is always water in there, unless you dry the machine.Overall 4 stars for the fact that works as expected, but the sensor for low water died after a week, which is a joke.
