Questions & Answers
It seems that you are under the impression that this is a freezer. That's not how it works. The model is only an ice maker that can stand alone. Ice is made quickly with the help of its small compressor. It shuts itself off if there is no water in it. This device does not keep anything cool when turned off. There is only one time that it is cool or cold when it is
Ignite the ice maker by pouring the water directly into it. A "fill line" is provided inside the tank so that you can see how much water you need to put in.
I've never had a problem cleaning metal parts with vinegar, it's just like I do with the coffee maker. Just like the coffee maker, I use vinegar to clean it.
Selected User Reviews For Frigidaire EFIC189-Silver Compact Ice Maker, 26 lb per Day, Silver
There is always a problem with running out of ice, but now we no longer have to worry about this. If I had purchased it a long time ago, I would have enjoyed it much more. I have found this ice maker to be excellent and it provides us with 26 pounds of ice. Each day, an average of 100 kilograms of ice is consumed. One of the things many people don't understand about countertop ice makers is that the ice makers are not for storing food. When they make ice, the temperature is about 27 degrees. If you think of it like keeping ice in a cooler, it would be the ice that just got made in the ice maker. The ice will not get colder, it will just slowly melt, then turn back into ice once Remember that when you pull the ice out of your kitchen freezer that's been in there for several hours, it's at least 0 degrees compared to the ice coming from your dishwasher. From the countertop ice maker, that 27-degree water is ready to drink. As a result, the ice from your freezer will keep in a drink a lot longer than the ice made by Therefore, if you are having a drink outside on a hot day and aren't using an insulated cup, that may not be an ideal scenario. If you want the best results, leave the ice out of the countertop ice maker for a short period of time in a gallon ziplock bag, and then place it in the freezer for a little while so that it gets down to zero Then again, we don't need to do that. Even cold drinks with the ice right out of the machine are perfectly suitable for indoor consumption. Place the ice in an insulated cup if you wish to use it outdoors. The pro's are Exceptionally well built machine that is user-friendly as well as very easy to operate. Rather than annoying beeps, it uses lights to let you know what the status is. It makes 26 pounds in real life. A cup of ice can be made In approximately 8 minutes, the first ice will be available. It takes about an hour to fill a basket with ice. The ice maker will automatically stop when the ice basket is full and resume ice production once some ice has been removed from it. When you need to add more water, a light comes on (keep in mind there is still ice in the basket at the time this happens). Melts very slowly, and if you leave it on overnight, it only comes on once or twice a night to replenish the ice that has You may now terminate the Besides taking up little countertop space, it matches our stainless steel refrigerator, which we can use to keep it out. It comes with a handy ice scoop, making it a great party item. During the next 8 minutes, this ice maker keeps dropping ice. Unlike other power strips, this one has a long cord, so it does not have to be plugged in directly to an The following cons One complaint I have about the machine is that when you're done using it, you have to drain any water left. Underneath the machine, there is a drain plug that is a little tricky to use since there is no view underneath the machine and you cannot turn the machine upside down to drain it. You need a microfiber towel to soak up all the water that is left in the machine rather than using the drain plug. That only takes a quick second and you don't need to move the machine over the sink in order to do this. After removing the lid, I leave it open for a few days to ensure it dries. Using a microfiber towel isn't a con, so it really isn't a con to use one. Even the smallest amount of ice is so easy to make this way, so I never worry about using the machine.
I emailed the supplier about my concerns, and it was forwarded to them. The supplier and Amazon have still not responded almost two weeks later. It needs to be returned so I can get my money back. Let me know what you think!.
In that sense, I am a bit Although I received the right model, I was misled by the advertisement. I received a gray plastic top instead of the transparent, more elegant looking top on the model I ordered and was unable to select the size of the cube. confirmed that the model number on the box I received is the same model listed on the box. While I will not return it because I don't care to return it, it is frustrating and I think it should be said. I've been waiting for an ice maker for years, I received gift cards for Christmas and I did my research and I nevertheless found myself.
No matter what the cost, this is the worst machine I have ever used because it stops making ice even when it is The only way to get it to recycle is to unplug it, and that doesn't This ice machine has the smallest bin I have ever seen on an ice machine. The water reservoir is also very small. Starting the unit out of the box smells like burnt stuff is coming off the heat exchanger, causing it to smell bad. My ice has a taste even when I purified my water from the tap, so there must be a manufacturing residue inside that I cannot remove. In addition, the unit reports it has an ice buildup and quits working. As ice melts, the freezer does not realize it is empty, and does not recognize it as such. I got up in the morning without ice. If you arrive home from work, there will be no ice.
This product is perfect for the camper - I use it every day! Is perfectly suited to what we need. Easy to use and quick to make. There was little or no noise heard. The weight can be a little challenging This has never been an issue for me. Ice should not be kept in this container If you haven't yet done so, you will need to remove the ice from the tray and place it in the freezer. We don't see it as a big deal.
Because my current ice maker on my refrigerator stopped working, I bought this unit. I knew I wasn't going to buy a new refrigerator, so I bought this instead. I like it very much! Easily makes ice in just a matter of minutes! My books are always put away when I am not using them! I really like this purchase. I am very happy with it.
There is nothing better than a Frigidaire model. Makes only a noise when it empties the ice. We had a different one before, and it made more noise, but this one makes ice faster, too, and in two sizes. Another good purchase! The Frigidaire product line is also my favorite. Besides being smaller than the other brand, which we liked, and looks good set up on a little table, this one also has an extended battery life. Also, I think I got the table from Amazon. So much useful information on this table I ordered another one. Thanks so much.
Reviews are a little confusing to me because I love to read them before I buy products, but this ice maker does not meet their expectations. We'll get that part out of the way first. Ice makes ice, so that's that. According to the advertisement, it does not allow you to modify the size of ice cubes. About eight ice cubes are made every 10 minutes by the machine. In the event that you don't store them in the freezer right away, they will melt. This equipment holds (3) standard size water bottles that are 16 ounces each. It takes 9 oz to make all the ice and a ziplock bag can be filled with it. The product is made well, but it can take hours to make enough ice to satisfy a family meal or a gathering of 2 Six people out of three). There is also a problem with ice melting quickly. If you add juice, water, or alcohol and use the first 8 cubes, they will melt in your drink really fast, and by the next batch your cup will have melted the last 8 cubes in your cup. The machine is not so great. The delivery took about two days, and the machine itself was not as good. What a surprise! . . . and don't be fooled by the brand because sometimes I am fooled by brands, which is what I did, because I have a few Frigidaire products, and they are excellent, but I am very dissatisfied.
