good price
our first ice maker cost $90 lasted 5yrs
replaced it last yr with one that cost just over $100
I offer one tip
the bigger and heavier the ice maker, the quicker it gets up to speed making and cycling the largest size
the new one has the same rating as the old one
different brands
the new is smaller and a lot lighter in weight
takes longer to make the same 2 (1) gallon zip bags of ice
which is what i usually make and store in the fridge
for those that plug it in and leave it on all week end, it won't make much difference
just us dry camp folks that want to make and store ICE while the genset is running
and yes, i have run them from inverter, but i try to avoid that
uses more power than the fridge
