Score: 78/100Rankings
The Frigidaire EFIC118 offers 26 lb of daily ice, rapid first-batch production, and quiet operation with a digital LED interface. Its small water reservoir and absence of self-cleaning mean more frequent refills and maintenance. Best for compact kitchens or RVs where speed and quietness are priorities.
The Frigidaire EFIC120 is a compact countertop ice maker that quickly produces bullet-shaped ice with a 2.1-qt water reservoir and digital LED controls. Its small ice basket and need for frequent cleaning in hard-water environments limit long-term convenience. Ideal for small households, dorms, or offices needing fast on-demand ice.
