Countertop ice maker electricity cost: 42 models, 21 with stated watts

Every current model, lowest watts first

"As stated" is copied from the maker's page. Monthly cost is 24 hours a day at the stated watts and the US average price, so it is the most the machine can cost. Cost per pound divides one day of that by the maker's stated daily output. Empty cells mean the maker does not give the figure on the page we read; we have not filled them from amps or from other sites.

21 of 42 models have a stated wattage. 7 give only amps, such as the Euhomy Jet SE, Euhomy Pearl L1 Pro, Newair NIM044BSN2 nugget. Amps are a rating for sizing the circuit, and where a maker states both, the amps times 120 V comes out well above the watts (Newair AI-100: 1.9 A and 120 W). So we do not turn amps into a cost. 14 models, including most of Euhomy's nugget and sphere machines, give no power figure at all.

Two makers state energy use over time. Newair gives 80 kWh a month for its 30 lb nugget machine, an average of about 110 W against its stated 145 W, so the compressor rests roughly a quarter of the time on that basis. Euhomy gives 4 kWh per 24 hours for the Dart H1 Silver, which is its 170 W running all day. Newair also says output drops in a warm room: 33 lbs a day at 68°F, 26 lbs at 77°F and 20 lbs at 90°F for that model.

4 maker pages give two different daily outputs for one machine (Euhomy Jet SE, Euhomy Pearl H1, Newair Luma Clear Ice IM200SS, Whynter IDC-221SC); the note column shows both. We list the spec-table figure.

Cost by state for three machines

At most, per month, running 24 hours a day at EIA's August 2026 residential price. Nevada is cheapest at 12.72 cents per kWh and Hawaii dearest at 47.18 cents. For 4 hours a day, divide by 6.

Method

1. Models. Countertop ice makers sold on each maker's own US site on 24 October 2026, from Euhomy, Newair, Silonn, Whynter, Chefman, GE Profile, hOmeLabs, Igloo (Nostalgia Products), read one page at a time. Built-in, undercounter and plumbed freestanding machines are left out. Frigidaire, Cuisinart and the GE Profile Opal 2.0 pages did not show their figures to our reader and are not in the table yet.
2. Watts. Copied as the maker states them, labeled "watts", "wattage", "power" or "maximum power consumption". Where a page gives only amps, the watts cell is empty.
3. Cost. watts / 1,000 x hours x price per kWh, with a month of 730 hours (8,760 / 12). Example: 170 W x 730 h = 124.1 kWh; at 18.16 cents that is $22.54.
4. Per pound. 24 hours at the stated watts, divided by the stated pounds per day. Example: 110 W x 24 h = 2.64 kWh for 45 lbs, or 1.1 cents a pound at 18.16 cents. Makers rate output in a cool room; a warm kitchen makes less ice for the same electricity.
5. Not covered. The real average draw, which only two makers publish. Water, cleaner and filters. We did not meter any machine.
