Frigidaire EFIC206-SILVER Ice Maker, 26 lb per Day, See Through Lid

Product Information

The Luma Comfort ice maker takes 20 to 24 minutes to make a batch of ice, which is three times longer than our bullet-ice picks. Even though the smallest ice that comes out of this ice maker is plenty big on its own, we liked having the option of choosing between small, medium, and large ice.

To drain the machine, we had to unscrew a cap on the bottom left side of the machine, then remove a little plug. There are numerous models in the market, but I decided on this one, given its popularity, a good reputation with over 5000 reviews, and an average rating of 4. The ice is chewy, fluffy, and doesn’t clump (the machine keeps the pebbles separated by draining melt water quickly). You might have a forced defrost button on your freezer or you can turn off the appliance itself for a brief period to defrost this section. Although the cloudy bullets aren’t exactly gourmet ice, they chill your drinks, and that’s good enough for most people.Merax Sentern Portable Electric Clear Ice Maker: We found that this machine only produced one batch of ice in an hour, and that the ice came out in clumps that were impossible to break into individual pieces. It's fairly big and bulky—not massive to the point where a fridge with an ice maker is a better option, but if you have a small kitchen, this machine may need a designated space other than your countertop. The Magic Chef ice maker’s ice is a little cloudy (standard for bullet-ice machines), and although it melts faster in carbonated beverages than clear ice, it still gets the job done. All the ice makers we tested come with standard one-year warranties, and user reviews suggest they aren’t particularly durable. The machine’s controls allow you to choose between two thicknesses of ice, which is useful if you are in a warmer room.

None of these machines keep the ice frozen after it’s made, so you need to consume it quickly or move it to the freezer for storing. The first batch is a little smaller than subsequent batches, as the machine heats up, but the difference wasn’t as obvious as with other brands we’ve tested. This machine is tiny for an ice maker, and although it looks a little on the cheaper side, it's very cute and great for dinner parties, RVs, small get-togethers, and road trips.Like the other clear-ice machines we tested, the Luma Comfort ice maker has an option to increase the thickness of the ice, though it isn’t obvious (you need to hold down the power button for 5 seconds). If you discover that your ice maker can’t produce fresh cubes, make sure it still has a connection to your water line.
