Overview
The Frigidaire EFIC115 is the high-output cube maker in this group. Frigidaire labels it an extra-large unit, and the rated 48 pounds of ice per day roughly doubles what the compact 26-pound machines deliver, giving you more headroom for parties and busy households.
The stainless steel exterior gives it a sturdier, more premium presence on the counter, fitting for a machine meant to do heavier work. It still keeps the convenience of a countertop design: fill the reservoir, plug into a standard 115-volt outlet, and let it produce batches on demand without any plumbing.
Priced at $179.00, it asks more than the small Frigidaire units but justifies it with the extra capacity. A 4.0-star average across about 1,700 reviews places it as a solid if not flawless performer, with the higher output being the main reason to choose it over the brand's compact models.

Performance notes
At roughly 48 lbs per day, the EFIC115 is the volume pick here, doubling the daily output of the compact cube makers and making it better suited to entertaining or large families. As a countertop unit it isn't insulated, so ice melts back into the reservoir if unused, meaning it shines when you're actively going through batches. It runs on a standard 115-volt outlet with no installation.
What buyers say
Buyers who choose the EFIC115 typically cite the higher daily output and the solid stainless build as the reasons it earned a place on their counter. It's favored for gatherings where compact units can't keep pace. Common complaints align with countertop cube makers generally: ice melting when left idle and the unit's larger footprint taking up more space.
