PIAOLGYI Ice Scoop Holder for Frigidaire — Review

Intro

If you own a Frigidaire EFIC117-SS 26-pound countertop ice maker and want a tidy place to stash the scoop, the PIAOLGYI Ice Scoop Holder is a narrowly focused accessory that does exactly one thing: hold an ice scoop on the side of the machine. The listing describes it as a clear plastic holder that installs on the machine's side and is compatible specifically with the EFIC117-SS. The product ships as a single scoop holder—note: the ice scoop itself is not included—and the manufacturer offers a 30-day unconditional money-back option.

What it is / first look

The PIAOLGYI Ice Scoop Holder is a purpose-built accessory for a single model of countertop ice maker. The listing lists the following core facts: the package includes one ice scoop holder designed for the Frigidaire EFIC117-SS 26 Pound Ice Maker (ice scoop not included); the holder is described as being made of "high quality and safe plastic" and is colored clear; the model number is TMS-SZ and the item weight is listed as 4.54 g. The listing also states that the holder can be easily installed and attached to the side of your ice maker to hold the scoop.

What's in the box

The listing states the package includes only the ice scoop holder. The ice scoop is explicitly not included; buyers should plan to use an existing scoop or pick one up separately.

Design notes at a glance

• Compatibility: listed for Frigidaire EFIC117-SS 26 Pound Countertop Ice Maker.
• Material: described by the listing as "high quality and safe plastic."
• Color: Clear (listed).
• Weight: 4.54 g (listed).
• Packaging: single holder; install hardware or instructions are not described in the listing.

In daily use

Because the PIAOLGYI holder is a single-purpose add-on, how useful it is depends entirely on your workflow around the ice maker. If you frequently scoop ice and want to keep a scoop within reach (and avoid misplacing it), a dedicated holder that clips or mounts to the side of the machine is a tidy solution. The listing says it can be easily installed and attached to the side of the ice maker; beyond that, the listing does not specify whether the holder uses clips, adhesive, screws, or a slot-and-hang design.

Placement and kitchen size

Small kitchens and tight countertops benefit from accessories that keep tools off the counter and in predictable places. The PIAOLGYI holder’s compact footprint (the listing gives an item weight of 4.54 g and shows a clear, small part in the images) suggests it won’t take up counter space when mounted. For larger kitchens or commercial setups, a single plastic scoop holder may feel minimal—but for home countertop use, it’s the kind of small accessory that keeps the ice area neater.

Workflow and daily handling

If you keep the ice maker in a bar cart, side counter, or under open shelving, a side-mounted scoop holder keeps the scoop ready and prevents it from being misplaced inside the appliance or slid into a drawer. The listing’s "attach to the side" language implies the design assumes side-mounting is practical for the EFIC117-SS model. The holder’s clear color helps it blend with stainless or white appliances if you don’t want a graphic color accent.

Materials & build quality

The listing describes the scoop holder as being made of "high quality and safe plastic" and lists Material Type as Plastic and Color as Clear. The item weight is given as 4.54 g, which aligns with a small, lightweight plastic accessory. Beyond that, the listing does not provide a specific polymer type, food-contact certification, load capacity, or toughness ratings.

That simplicity is neither inherently good nor bad—it's a single-purpose plastic part—so expectations about longevity and durability should match: this is an inexpensive plastic accessory, not a structural component of the ice maker.

Finish and fit

Photos in the listing show a transparent, molded piece sized to accept a typical scoop and mate with the side of the Frigidaire EFIC117-SS. The listing claims compatibility with that model specifically; if you have a different machine or a slightly different scoop profile, the listing does not specify universal fit. The product’s model number is TMS-SZ and the brand/manufacturer is PIAOLGYI, which will help you cross-reference fit if you contact the seller or manufacturer for clarification.

Safety considerations

There are no safety or hazard claims in the listing beyond the phrase "safe plastic," which the listing uses to describe the material. The listing does not specify food-contact certifications, temperature limits, or regulatory approvals. If you plan to let the scoop rest in the holder with wet ice on it, consider that plastic parts can retain moisture, and the listing doesn’t provide guidance on cleaning or microbial safety. The listing does not specify whether the holder is dishwasher-safe or how it responds to prolonged cold contact.

The manufacturer provides a 30-day unconditional money-back option, which the listing mentions as a risk-mitigation measure for buyers who find the fit or finish unsuitable. For safety-minded buyers, the right checklist is to verify the holder fits your scoop and your machine before relying on it for long-term use, and to follow standard cleaning practices for any accessory that touches food contact tools.

What the listing does and doesn’t say

• The listing states the material as plastic and describes it as "high quality and safe plastic."
• The listing does not state any food-contact certification (for example, FDA approval) or specific polymer type.
• The listing does not list installation hardware or describe the exact attachment method—only that it "can be easily installed" and that you "can attach to the side of your ice maker to hold it."
• The listing does not specify cleaning instructions or dishwasher safety.

Who this is for / who should skip

Buyers who should consider this holder:

• Owners of the Frigidaire EFIC117-SS 26-pound countertop ice maker who want a dedicated place to keep an ice scoop and avoid losing it inside a kitchen.
• Home cooks or hosts who prefer a neater countertop and a predictable scoop location.
• People who want a low-cost, easy-to-add accessory and appreciate a clear, unobtrusive design.

Buyers who should skip or proceed with caution:

• Anyone who needs a scoop included—the listing is explicit that the ice scoop is not part of the package.
• Owners of different ice maker models: the listing claims compatibility with the Frigidaire EFIC117-SS specifically, and it does not claim universal fit for other machines.
• Shoppers who require documented food-contact certifications, dishwasher-safe labeling, or specific material specs—the listing does not provide those details.

Verdict

The PIAOLGYI Ice Scoop Holder is a focused, inexpensive accessory for the Frigidaire EFIC117-SS countertop ice maker. The listing positions it as a simple, clear plastic holder that attaches to the side of the machine and keeps an ice scoop in one place. It’s not a scoop, it’s not a universal mount, and it’s not marketed as a heavy-duty replacement part—it's an add-on meant to keep a scoop within reach.

If you want a minimal, no-frills way to stop misplacing your scoop and you own the listed Frigidaire model, the holder is worth considering. If you need confirmed food-contact certifications, dishwasher-safe construction, or a universal mount for multiple ice maker makes and models, the listing does not provide the specifications to support those requirements.

Check before you buy

• Confirm model compatibility: the listing states compatibility with Frigidaire EFIC117-SS 26 Pound Ice Maker—verify your ice maker is that model before purchasing.
• Remember: ice scoop NOT included. Budget for a separate scoop if you don’t already own one.
• Material claims: the listing describes the holder as "high quality and safe plastic." If you need certification (FDA, etc.), the listing does not specify those details—verify the current listing or manufacturer documentation.
• Installation specifics: the listing says it can be "easily installed" and "attached to the side," but it doesn’t describe the attachment method or include installation hardware details—confirm how it mounts if that matters for your setup.
• Returns: the listing provides a 30-day unconditional money-back offer—keep that in mind if fit or finish is a concern.

Additional practical notes and image references

Available colors and image references from the listing:

• Listed color: Clear.
• Image filenames provided in the listing: B0DKHQLV8R_6862.jpg, B0DKHQLV8R_2458.jpg, B0DKHQLV8R_7399.jpg, B0DKHQLV8R.jpg.

The images and the color listing both indicate a transparent appearance that’s intended to blend with many countertop finishes rather than add a colored accent.

Final take

As a small add-on accessory, the PIAOLGYI Ice Scoop Holder does a narrow job: keep a scoop handy on the Frigidaire EFIC117-SS ice maker. The listing provides the essential facts you need to decide if the fit and function match your needs—compatibility, material type (plastic), color (clear), and the absence of the scoop itself are all stated. If your priorities are simple organization and a low-cost accessory with a 30-day return window, this holder is a reasonable, low-commitment option. If you require detailed material certifications, dishwasher-safe labeling, or universal fit, the listing doesn’t provide those assurances, and you’ll want to verify them with the seller or manufacturer before buying.
