## Description

EFIC189

Review: Fast, Compact & Super Convenient — Ice on Demand! - The FRIGIDAIRE EFIC128AMZBLK Compact Countertop Ice Maker has been such a game-changer in my kitchen. It’s compact enough to sit on the counter without taking up too much space, but still powerful enough to produce a lot of ice—up to 26 lbs a day, which is more than enough for daily use, guests, or keeping drinks cold all weekend. It makes ice surprisingly fast, and I love that I can choose the size. The machine runs smoothly, isn’t overly loud, and the black finish looks sleek and modern. Setup was simple too—just plug it in, add water, and it gets to work. If you want a reliable ice maker that looks good, works quickly, and saves you from constantly buying bagged ice, this one is a winner. Highly recommend!
Review: Sturdy, effective, easy to use and FAST - Sturdy, effective. Using daily, multiple runs (for 2 people drinking soda and iced tea each day) - its been a year now and it works great, cleans easily, makes ice so fast, easy to fill and empty, etc. Absolutely no issues with it. It does make a little noise - LOL - so it took getting used to ice drops at night - but not an issue at all. Would buy it again and again. If you had more people you may want a bigger version re: amount of ice per serving - but it literally takes only a few minutes to make a new set of ice. Its counter footprint is really nice - we have a teeny kitchen and it works great on what counterspace we have.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it refrigerated? Can i put a drink in it with no ice being made?**
A: I’m thinking you’re under the impression that this is a refrigeration unit. It’s not. It is a free standing ice maker only. It has a small compressor that makes ice rapidly. If there is no water in it it shuts itself off. When off it will not keep anything cool. The only time it’s cool or cold is when it’s making ice.

**Q: Does this ice maker have to be attached to a faucet or is the water put directly into the machine?**
A: You pour the water directly into the ice maker.  No hookups.  It has a "fill line" inside to show how much water to put in it..

**Q: how do you clean the parts you cant reach?  there is mold in the back part under the metal elements**
A: This answer is not particular to this machine. I used 2 of these ice makers in Germany for several years and found that using distilled water prevented mold growth. This was an accidental finding, after fussing to clean pink mold that kept growing. Never had anymore after using distilled. We had no AC in Germany, so a house with AC is probably better.

**Q: How do i find out about tbe heavy-duty one?**
A: If you do a search for the 40 pound per day ice maker you will find it.  https://www.amazon.com/Frigidaire-Maker-Clear-Cubes-Capacity/dp/B077MT8TJV/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2KCRZT53PDTQZ&dchild=1&keywords=40+pound+ice+maker&qid=1609167752&sprefix=40+pound+ice%2Caps%2C244&sr=8-3

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Important helpful points and pros and cons
*by R***K on October 14, 2020*

We are always running out of ice and this has solved the problem. I wish I would have bought this a long time ago. This ice maker is excellent and will delivery the 26 lbs. of ice per day. What a lot of people don't understand about countertop ice makers is that when the ice is made it is about 27 degrees and the ice maker is not a storage freezer. Think of it like the ice that was just made will sit in the ice maker which is like keeping ice in a cooler. It won't get colder it will just slowly melt and then gets turned back into ice again. Keep in mind when you pull ice out of your kitchen freezer that has been in there for several hours it is around 0 degrees vs. the 27 degrees right out of the countertop ice maker. So, ice from your freezer is going to last a lot longer in a drink than ice out of this countertop ice maker. So, that may not be ideal for some if you are having a drink outside on a hot day and not using an insulated cup. For best results take the ice out of the countertop ice maker and put it in a gallon ziplock bag and place it in the freezer for a little while so it will get down to the 0 degrees. That is not necessary though. The ice that comes right out of the machine is plenty cold enough for drinking beverages indoors. If you want to use the ice outdoors just place the ice in an insulated cup. Pros: Very quality built machine. Very easy to use. It uses lights to notify you of the status rather than annoying beeps. It really does make 26 lbs. of ice in an hour. First ice in about 8 minutes. Full basket of ice in about an hour. Pauses itself when ice basket is full and will resume ice production automatically as soon as some ice is removed. Light comes on when water needs to be added (keep in mind you still have a full basket of ice when this triggers). Melts very slowly and if you leave it on over night it only comes on once or twice to replace the ice that melted. Quite operation. It doesn't take up a lot of countertop space so we are able to leave it out and it matches our stainless steel fridge. It comes with a nice ice scoop which is great for parties. This ice maker keeps dropping ice every 8 minutes. The cord is very long so it doesn't have to be right up against the outlet. Cons: The only con I have about the machine is trying to drain the water remaining when you are done using it. There is a drain plug underneath it that is a little tricky to use because you can't see underneath the machine and you can't just turn the machine upside down to drain it per their instructions. That will harm the machine. What I found to be a great solution is instead of using the drain plug I use a microfiber towel to soak up all the water left in the machine. That only takes a quick second and you don't have to move the ice maker over the sink to drain it. I then leave the lid open to make sure it dries out. So it really isn't a con if you use the microfiber towel. It is so easy this way which means I never mind using the machine even to make a small amount of ice.
