Frigidaire EFIC0513MAUVE Countertop Ice Maker with Bullet Ice and Touch Display
Product description
At 29.46 x 22.1 x 26.92 cm, the Frigidaire EFIC0513MAUVE is a countertop ice maker in mauve. Its compact format is intended for spaces such as a home kitchen, office or RV.
It makes bullet-shaped ice, with up to 26 lbs of production per day. Each batch is described as 9 pieces in 7–15 minutes, and you can choose between two ice sizes.
A touch LED display and transparent viewing window let you select settings and check ice production. The machine also includes a scoop for serving.
What stands out
The main appeal is having an ice-making appliance available where drinks are prepared, rather than relying only on bags of ice. That can suit everyday drinks or a gathering, while its portable countertop design gives it more flexibility than an ice maker built into a larger appliance. For a practical example, it can make bullet ice for drinks in an RV or at an office, provided there is a suitable place to set it up.
The listed daily output is substantial, but that is not the same as the amount held ready at once: the product description says it stores up to 1.5 lbs of ice. Buyers generally speak positively about its speed and appearance. Feedback on noise is mixed, with some finding it manageable and others noticing the sound, particularly as ice drops.
Key points
The 2.3 qt water reservoir is designed to reduce how often you need to refill during ice production. The transparent window helps you see what is happening inside, while the touch controls handle the settings and ice-size selection. These features make the machine straightforward to fit into a drinks routine without needing to rely on a freezer’s ice tray.
You’ll like it if you want bullet ice made in batches for drinks at home, at work or in an RV, and value having two size options. It might not be a great match if a quiet environment is a priority, since buyer feedback on operating noise is divided. Compared with a basic ice tray, this machine makes ice more quickly in batches, compared with a setup that keeps a larger supply stored, its stated 1.5 lb storage capacity is worth bearing in mind.
Cleaning & care
A drain plug is included to help with draining and quick cleaning. The supplied scoop makes it easier to transfer ice without reaching into the basket. The product information does not give a detailed cleaning schedule, so follow the manufacturer’s care instructions rather than assuming a particular routine.
Before you decide
How quickly does it make ice? The product information says it produces 9 bullet-shaped pieces in 7–15 minutes. It also lists production of up to 26 lbs per day.

What comes with the machine? An ice scoop is included. The product description also identifies a 2.3 qt water reservoir and a drain plug for cleaning.
Should you buy it?
Choose the EFIC0513MAUVE if you want a countertop appliance for making bullet ice in batches, with touch controls, a viewing window and a choice of two sizes. Its listed output makes it more suited to regular drink preparation than a simple tray, but the 1.5 lb storage limit means it is not a large ready-to-serve ice bin. The mixed comments on noise may also matter if it will run in a quiet shared space.
