Overview
The Frigidaire EFWC0546 is a bottom-load water dispenser built for 5-gallon bottles that adds a built-in bullet ice maker and both hot and cold water taps in one freestanding unit, aimed at kitchens or offices that want water, ice and hot water from a single appliance.
The seller left the description field for this listing blank, so the real picture comes from the spec sheet and the reviews rather than marketing copy. Owners are split on it: several call the ice maker fast and convenient with easy top-access scooping, while others report loud operation and inconsistent ice production. Melted ice is recycled back into the ice-making cycle rather than drained, which is meant to limit water waste.
- Built-in bullet ice maker rated up to 33 lbs of ice per day
- 7-11 minute ice cycle producing 9 cubes per batch
- Fits standard 5-gallon water bottles, bottom-load design
- Indicator lights for water shortage, ice status and ice-full alerts
Who it's for
Fits households or small offices already buying 5-gallon bottled water who want ice and hot water added without a separate ice maker or kettle, and less suited to anyone sensitive to appliance noise since loud cooling cycles are a repeated complaint
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers who like it point to fast ice production, easy top-loading access to the ice bin, and quick hot and cold water flow. The most common complaint is noise during cooling cycles, described by more than one reviewer as louder than expected for a home appliance, and a few had inconsistent ice production or units that froze solid instead of producing cubes.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Ice is accessible from the top without bending down
- Hot and cold water both dispense quickly according to multiple reviewers
- Melted ice water recycles back into the ice-making cycle
- Several reviewers describe the cooling cycle as loud
- Ice production is inconsistent for some units, ranging from fine to no cubes at all
- Only the hot water spout has a safety lock, not the ice or cold water
Performance notes
The bullet ice maker runs a 7-11 minute cycle producing 9 cubes per batch, up to about 33 lbs a day, and indicator lights flag low water, ice-making status and a full ice bin. Only the hot water tap has a child safety lock, per one reviewer, so households with young kids should plan around that.
