Overview
The Frigidaire EFIC123 is a compact countertop ice maker that keeps it simple and inexpensive. It turns out about 26 pounds of cube ice per day from a manually filled reservoir, enough to keep everyday drinks topped up without any plumbing or setup.
The black stainless finish dresses it up beyond plain plastic units, and at roughly 7 pounds it's one of the lightest machines in this group, so it's easy to stow in a cabinet or carry to a bar cart. It plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet and starts cycling ice shortly after you switch it on.
At $59.99 it's the most affordable pick here, and it backs that price with a 4.3-star average across more than 3,700 reviews. For a starter ice maker or a low-stakes second unit, it covers the basics without fuss.

Performance notes
Rated at about 26 lbs per day, the EFIC123 is sized for everyday topping-off rather than bulk production. Its roughly 7-pound weight makes it the most portable unit here, easy to tuck away or relocate. It runs on a standard 120-volt outlet, and because it isn't a freezer, ice that goes unused melts back into the reservoir and is reused on the next cycle.
What buyers say
Across thousands of reviews, buyers repeatedly point to the low price, light weight, and quick cube production as the main draws. The black stainless look gets favorable mentions for the cost. The recurring criticisms mirror other compact cube makers: ice melting when left unused and cubes that are softer or more hollow than freezer ice.
