Our verdict

The EFIC255 is the value pick for nugget ice: 44 lb a day for about $260. It's louder than GE, has no app, and owner reports on long-term reliability are mixed, so register the warranty.

Buy it ifYou want lots of nugget ice without paying for an Opal.
Skip it ifYou want a quiet machine or app control.

Ice and output

Rated for 44 lb a day with a 3 lb bin. Meltwater recycles back into the reservoir.

Noise and features

Reviewers consistently call it noisier than GE, and it has no Wi-Fi, app or lights. Controls are simple touch buttons with indicator lights.

Reliability

Some owners report slower ice production, sensor problems or failures after six to twelve months. Keep your receipt and use the warranty if problems start.

Fill it with filtered or reverse osmosis water and you'll descale less often. See the best water for an ice maker.
