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.

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.
This review is based on Frigidaire's published specifications, the owner's manual where available, independent test reports and owner feedback, compared against the other models we track. We'll add hands-on notes as our testing progresses.
