Head-to-head
Typhur CM03P vs Frigidaire EFIC255: Typhur fits lower and carries by handle, Frigidaire opens from the front
The short answer

Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
Typhur saves more than four inches of body height
The 4.41-inch difference may decide a storage fit, but it does not cancel either machine’s operating-clearance requirements.
What this is based on
16.5 - 12.09 = 4.41 inches less published body height.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
Typhur saves more than four inches of body height
The 4.41-inch difference may decide a storage fit, but it does not cancel either machine’s operating-clearance requirements.
How we reached this conclusion
16.5 - 12.09 = 4.41 inches less published body height.
Fast first pieces and high daily output are different strengths
Typhur’s six-minute first-ice claim suits an immediate small need, while Frigidaire’s higher daily ceiling suits continued demand.
How we reached this conclusion
Published figures are about 6 versus 10-15 minutes to first ice and 35 versus 44 pounds per day.
Frigidaire adds nine pounds to the rated daily ceiling
That is about 26% more potential production, useful only when water and basket management allow the machine to continue running.
How we reached this conclusion
44 - 35 = 9 pounds. 9 / 35 × 100 = 25.7% more rated daily output.

Choose Frigidaire Gallery Nugget Ice Maker Gen 2. Frigidaire lists a higher daily ceiling.

What matters in practice
How to make the call
The body-size difference is substantial
Typhur is listed at 12.09 inches high against Frigidaire’s 16.5. That is a meaningful difference for a low counter niche, though Typhur still needs the ventilation space specified in its manual.
Production favors the larger unit
Frigidaire’s 44-pound daily rating exceeds Typhur’s 35. Typhur instead quotes earlier first ice, about six minutes versus ten to fifteen. First pieces and full-day accumulation answer different questions.
Scheduling can suit a smaller household
Typhur’s app can arrange run and no-run periods. Frigidaire’s direct touch control is straightforward for users who simply start the machine when present. Neither approach makes the basket a freezer.
