Frigidaire EFIC452-SSRED XL Ice Maker and Ice Bags Bundle - High

In this review of the Frigidaire EFIC452-SSRED XL Ice Maker and Perfect Stix ice bag bundle, the bottom line is simple: this combo is for anyone who needs a steady, high daily output of clear, square ice without a hookup to a water line. The ice maker produces up to 40 lbs. of clear, square ice per day and makes 24 cubes in under 15 minutes, which is the single biggest reason to buy. Included Perfect Stix drawstring bags add convenient storage for parties or transport, making this a practical countertop solution for home bars, offices, or small events.

Key Features

• Extra large reservoir: The 2.3 liter reservoir supports high output so the unit can produce as much as 40 lbs. of clear, square ice per day for extended use.
• Rapid cycle: The ice maker produces 24 perfectly square ice cubes in less than 15 minutes, which means fast replenishment during gatherings or heavy daily use.
• Portable storage capacity: The built-in bin stores up to 2.4 lbs. of ice at a time for immediate access to chilled drinks.
• Quiet operation: Running on 120 watts with a silent cooling function, it stays unobtrusive in kitchens or office spaces.
• Included ice bags: Each Perfect Stix drawstring ice bag holds up to 10 lbs., measures 21 x 12 in and is 1.5 mil thick for easy transfer and temporary storage.

Who It's For

The Frigidaire EFIC452-SSRED is best for homeowners, small entertainers, and office users who want a high-capacity countertop ice maker without professional plumbing. Its ability to produce clear, square cubes quickly suits people who host frequent gatherings, run a home bar, or need a steady supply for beverages and cold packs.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who require built-in or plumbed-in units for permanent installation or businesses that need continuous storage far beyond 2.4 lbs. in the internal bin; commercial kitchens and large events may prefer a full-sized commercial ice machine instead.
