Frigidaire EFIC117-SS-B-COM countertop ice maker review

The Frigidaire EFIC117-SS-B-COM is an exact countertop ice-maker listing with a narrow but useful set of published claims: up to 26 pounds per day, nine pieces every seven to 15 minutes, a 1.5-pound basket, and a 2.3-quart reservoir. “COM” should not be read as proof of commercial certification or heavier-duty output. The product page gives no UPC for its uncolored base SKU, and the image it links shows a copper family variant rather than that exact base finish.

What the COM suffix does—and does not—tell you

The Frigidaire/Curtis page lists EFIC117-SS-B-COM as a model code and separately lists copper and red B-COM color SKUs with their own UPCs. It does not publish a UPC for the uncolored base line. The same page calls the appliance a stainless-steel countertop ice maker and repeats the family’s production, basket, and tank claims. That is enough to review the exact listing, but not enough to treat “COM” as a business-grade duty rating, a different power class, or a bundle specification. No commercial-use rating appears in the accepted evidence.

The page-linked image is a manufacturer-hosted view of the copper EFIC117-SSCOPPER-B-COM variant. It is a qualified family reference, not an exact photograph of the uncolored EFIC117-SS-B-COM listing. Confirm the color and exact suffix on a seller page before ordering. Curtis does not say whether its image is a photograph or a render.

Daily production does not replace collection capacity

The page advertises up to 26 pounds of ice in a day and nine cubes in a seven-to-15-minute interval, but does not provide a paired ambient-air and water-temperature test for the daily number. The listed basket holds up to 1.5 pounds at a time. That gap between day-long production and ready-to-scoop storage is the central tradeoff: it may suit a kitchen that cycles ice for drinks and moves excess batches elsewhere, but it is not a large holding bin. If you expect to serve guests without attending the machine, compare basket capacity first and daily claims second.

The page also lists a 2.3-quart reservoir, electronic control panel, viewing window, scoop, and drain plug. It describes a reservoir but does not explicitly establish a direct water-line inlet, an included auxiliary tank, or how the base B-COM version is filled. A linked B-COM/B-CU manual family guide includes manual procedures for named color variants, but its technical table prints model codes for copper/red configurations rather than the plain uncolored base code. Do not transfer every manual-only value to the base listing without checking the unit’s own booklet.

Geometry and care remain unresolved for the base code

The exact page’s body width, depth, and height data fields are zero or blank. Its gift-box dimensions are shipping information, not countertop dimensions. The linked family PDF gives dimensional and electrical values for a group of named B-COM color variants, but the uncolored base SKU is not printed in the technical model table. For that reason, this review does not assign the base code a width, voltage, wattage, cycle duration, or net weight from the copper/red versions. Measure only from an exact model manual or rating label before reserving a tight shelf.

Neither the exact page nor its accepted evidence names the physical ice shape, a self-clean duration, or powered frozen storage for the plain B-COM SKU. The family manual’s general cleaning instructions are not a timed self-clean cycle. A shopper with an essential bullet, nugget, sphere, water-line, cleaning-program, or frozen-hold requirement should treat the missing value as a real blocker, not infer it from the copper image or from another suffix.

How to compare it with nearby EFIC117 pages

EFIC117-SS, EFIC117-SS-B, and EFIC117-SS-B-COM share similar manufacturer output language, but their exact pages do not provide one clean identity bridge. Plain SS and SS-B repeat UPC 058465807368 while showing visibly different cabinets and pointing to different manual versions. The B-COM base SKU has no printed UPC, and its page-linked picture depicts a separately named copper variant. Keeping the three records separate avoids telling a buyer that shared claims or a family photo prove identical hardware.

Consider the B-COM listing only if you can confirm the seller’s exact model and finish and are comfortable with the missing base-SKU dimensions and electrical values. Its published 1.5-pound basket and 2.3-quart reservoir can still help a flexible shopper compare routine scale. For an essential ice shape, fixed temperature-specific output, direct-line fill, or commercial-duty use, choose a model whose exact configuration documents that requirement rather than using this code’s name as a shortcut.
