I have a new fridge. It didn't come w/ an ice maker. The OEM add-on is $100 but I only need a high volume of ice when I have guests. So an ice maker makes sense.

Yeah, I know what they usually say about extended coverage but for things like this (e.g., ice maker, fridge, dehumidifier, etc.) it's been worth it for me. Time will tell on this, but $7 isn't going to break me.

EFIC117 power conumption
The Frigidaire EFIC117 ice maker has a power consumption that generally ranges between
80-105 watts during active ice production, operating on a standard 120 V power supply. Some retailer specifications list the wattage as high as 1000 W or 1650 W, but these figures are likely peak power draw ratings or data entry errors, as actual usage is much lower.
Detailed Power Consumption
Operating Wattage (Active Freezing): The unit typically settles around 80-85 watts once the compressor is actively freezing water.
Peak/Maximum Wattage: Some sources mention ratings from 100 W to 300 W, with a few potentially erroneous listings at 1000 W or 1650 W.
Idle/Standby Consumption: During the initial water pumping stage, it uses very little power, around 3.5 watts, before the compressor engages. The unit also goes into standby when the ice basket is full or when ice has melted back into the reservoir.
Voltage: The machine is designed for a standard 120 V outlet.
Energy Usage
The total energy consumption is highly dependent on usage patterns, water temperature, and ambient temperature.
Producing the first full bucket of ice (approx. 1.5 lbs) takes roughly 2 hours and consumes about 0.19 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity.
Over a 10-hour period with intermittent use and maintenance cycles, it might consume around 0.24 kWh.
Overall, the EFIC117 is considered relatively efficient for a portable ice maker and uses less power than a typical refrigerator's built-in ice mak
