It has a contemporary and stylish design, which makes it a good display. You can easily carry this ice maker anywhere and everywhere with its portability.
Large Windows
Many ice makers that we have examined did not have a proper window to view the ice inside them. So, it was a relief to see a large see-through window in Red countertop ice maker. It gives you a good view of the ice cubes so that you can know when your cubes are ready to be removed.
No Installation
No one wants to go through a complicated task like installing a device, and we are no different. We were more than happy to see that this mini ice maker did not require any installation.

Capacity
Though Frigidaire claims that small ice maker EFIC108 can make 26 lbs. of ice, we were not really thrilled to see the said quantity. It produces a little less than 26lbs. But if you wish to make large quantities of ice, this ice maker might not be the one for you.
No Indicator To Fill Water
One thing that we wished this Ice Maker had is an indicator to tell us when we need to add water in its bin. We constantly had to keep looking to check whether it needed more water or not. Instead of doing that, we think it would have been better if there was a red light to indicate that.
