We LOVE this ice maker!!! We have had two of the smaller igloo countertop ice makers prior to this one and thought we liked them. Those didn't last as long as we had hoped and never made enough ice for our family of 5. I saw this one and watched some YouTube videos on it and thought I would give it a shot. I can not speak more highly of this machine. It makes SO much ice that we bag up the extra ice and put in our deep freezer!! I highly recommend this Frigidaire ice maker!!!

The first ice maker came in with a big dent on the back of the unit and it would never freeze the water. I don't blame that on the product, the shipping packaging was not sufficient. The replacement ice maker works like a charm! We use it to supplement the refrigerator ice maker and it performs very well. The box says it will make ice in as little as eight minutes but usually it takes about twenty minutes for a tray to freeze. We make up a couple of ten pound bags in a day and stash them in the deep freeze for later. So far this ice maker has performed up to expectations and I would certainly buy it again. I highly recommend this item.

We received it within a week and in great shape. unpack it and was pleased by the looks of it. So we poured the water in the tank just to have it run out all over the counter and floor! Got to looking and they had forgotten to put the fill hose on from the tank to the ice maker. . Luckily was able to take it apart and fix it. Gotta lov the Quality of stuff these day.

It isn’t really producing the ice they way I wanted. It keeps saying it full when it is not. The ice comes out in one big piece that I have to break up. Only keeping it because I don’t feel like going through the hassle to return it. I should have gotten a cheaper one. I thought more expensive would be a better quality especially from this brand. I wouldn’t recommend this one at all.

Compared to our old "bullet" style icemaker, the EFIC452 is superior in every way. With the setting for the largest ice, the ice ends up being almost (but not quite) a perfect cube. The hollow space in the middle is minimal, which means that if you are transferring this to the freezer, the actual ice per volume is very high The ice iteself comes out in "sheets" so as it makes ice, the sheets stack on top of each other So the ice bin is actually completely full of ice by the time it trips the "ice full" shut-off. (The old bullet icemaker would fill the tray at an angle so it was just over half full and it would stop making ice) With the timer, you can set it to turn on in the morning so that it's already full of ice when you wake up. It makes ice so fast that it really doesn't have to run that long (the bullet style had serious trouble keeping up) Cleaning - Since the water constantly runs while making ice, no "self-cleaning" feature is needed. Just put in a 50/50 vinegar/water solution and let it make a batch or two of ice. The constant flow of cleaning solution takes care of most of the cleaning for you. (rinse thoroughly afterward to prevent vinegar-tasting ice) The only con really is that the "sheets" of ice that come out have to be broken up. I just tap them with the back end of a butter knife. The lower settings for ice-size are easier to break up

Works great. As others have noted, it does make large blocks that you have to break apart. You will want to learn how to properly clean the unit. Run some bleach through the unit once a year. And run some CLR through it a separate time. I always let my whole unit drain and air dry between every use to prevent mold. But otherwise great machine. Does what it is supposed to.

The 3rd party i bought this from was the problem...not the icemaker. Sent wrong shipping info..and 3 days later was checking on it then finally sent tracking number but never sent who had it fedex or ups. Then finally today offers a apology..Really...thats how they do business? The only reason she apologize is cause i sent a message saying how they never got in a hurry to offer help..never called..or even apologized for all the crap they put me thru. That was 2 days ago and NOW she sends a im sorry note. Short and sweet. Ha ..well i have news for ALL OF YALL..i wont be buying from them again.

This ice maker performed just as it was advertised. I tried using two types of water, first I used Tap water the ice came out clear with a little cloudiness in the center. Then I tried processed water(bottle water) the ice cubes came out crystal clear. I am very happy with this ice maker.

I love this ice maker! It really does what it claims! 40 lbs of ice a day. The set up was easy and worked right away. I own several of the Bullet type ice machines and because of the many moving parts they seem to be less efficient and break after a few months of use. i really love this design with very few moving parts.

the ice maker takes upwards of 15 mins to make ice, and it dont break down into cubes like in the photos. the ice comes out in sheets. But it's not bad, just not like the description says or the photos. oh, and when it falls into the basket, it's loud and startles us because we forget it on.
