Overview
This Frigidaire countertop unit makes bullet shaped ice in repeating batches of up to 26 lbs a day, with a 2.3 quart tank and a see-through window so you can watch each cycle finish.
It is a batch maker, not a freezer. Frigidaire states plainly that the unit does not keep ice frozen once it is made, so cubes sitting in the basket will start to soften and need to move to an actual freezer within a few hours. The digital panel, drain plug and included scoop keep daily refilling and cleanout simple.
- 26 lbs of ice per day
- 2.3 quart water tank
- Digital LED control panel
- Countertop footprint for kitchen, bar or dorm
Who it's for
Fits kitchens, bars, offices or dorms that need fast ice on demand rather than long term cold storage, especially where the fridge has no built in ice maker. Not the choice for anyone who wants ice that stays hard for hours without attention.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers using it as a backup for fridges without a built-in ice maker describe fast batches and simple daily operation. The recurring complaints are ice arriving wet and clumping together in the basket, leftover water pooling in the reservoir after a cycle, and several long-time owners describing a pattern of these compact makers failing around the two year mark from a worn internal gear.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Produces a day's worth of ice in repeated 6 minute batches
- Two cube sizes from one control panel
- Drain plug simplifies emptying and cleaning
- Scoop and window included for easy monitoring
Performance notes
A full batch of bullet cubes forms in around 6 minutes as water cycles from the 2.3 quart tank through the coils. Because the storage basket is not refrigerated, ice sitting there slowly melts and recirculates, which is normal for this style of machine but means cubes are best used or transferred soon after each run.

Questions about the Frigidaire EFIC123-SSBLACK
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Does the Frigidaire EFIC123 keep ice frozen once it's made?
No, it is a production unit only. Ice sits in an unrefrigerated basket and will start to melt, so plan to transfer it to a freezer soon after each batch.
How long does one batch of ice take?
About 6 minutes per batch, with two cube sizes selectable from the control panel.
How reliable is the EFIC123 over time?
Most reviewers report smooth use through the first year or two, though some describe the internal gear failing around the two year mark.
