Model-Specific Results
3 of 3 models are SAFE or TIGHT. Most demanding model: GE Profile Opal 2.0 (XPIO13SCSS) — Nugget (1,080W surge).
| Model | Running | Surge | Verdict | Runtime | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GE Profile Opal 2.0 (XPIO13SCSS) — Nugget | 360W | 1,080W | Safe | ~11.9h | OEM Verified |
Show expert analysisTechnical: The Opal 2.0 is the highest-draw variant in this set at 360W. Unlike basic bullet ice makers, nugget models use both a compressor and an auger to crush and form chewable ice, pushing power demand well above the 100–120W typical of bullet units. Field note: At 360W this is not the lightweight camping load many expect. Verify your station can sustain it before hauling it to a tailgate — a 500W station works, but leaves little headroom for anything else. Can a portable power station run a countertop ice maker? Yes — the worst-case countertop ice maker in our set draws 360W running with an estimated 1080W startup surge. Any station rated above that threshold handles even the most power-hungry nugget models. Simpler bullet-style makers draw far less. Startup surge is modest (3x running) and rarely the bottleneck — battery capacity determines session length, not whether you can start the machine. | |||||
| Frigidaire EFIC189-Silver — Bullet | 105W | 315W | Safe | ~41.0h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: A basic bullet ice maker drawing only 105W. The small hermetic compressor produces minimal startup inrush — estimated at 315W, well within reach of even the smallest portable power stations. Field note: At 105W this pairs with virtually any power station in the catalog. The real camping question is runtime: a 300Wh station gives roughly 2 hours of active ice production before needing a recharge. Can a portable power station run a countertop ice maker? Yes — the worst-case countertop ice maker in our set draws 360W running with an estimated 1080W startup surge. Any station rated above that threshold handles even the most power-hungry nugget models. Simpler bullet-style makers draw far less. Startup surge is modest (3x running) and rarely the bottleneck — battery capacity determines session length, not whether you can start the machine. | |||||
| Igloo IGLICEB26HNSS — Bullet | 120W | 360W | Safe | ~35.8h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: A 120W bullet ice maker with a carry handle designed for portability. Draws 2A at 120V with a small hermetic R134a compressor producing minimal startup inrush. Field note: The carry handle and light weight make this the most camping-friendly option in the set. Pair it with a mid-range station (500Wh+) for a full afternoon of ice at a campsite. Can a portable power station run a countertop ice maker? Yes — the worst-case countertop ice maker in our set draws 360W running with an estimated 1080W startup surge.

Generator Insights
With 12000 watts of surge capacity, this system can handle typical startup loads for central air compressors, well pumps, and other motor-driven equipment common in residential settings. The 6000-watt continuous rating supports sustained operation of multiple high-draw appliances simultaneously. The 6144 Wh capacity provides meaningful runtime for essential circuits during grid outages.
This unit uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry, known for stable thermal behavior in stationary storage applications. The system is designed with internal protections typical of grid-tied and off-grid battery platforms. Source: EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra User Manual (manufacturer documentation).

Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical Breakdown
Portable ice makers span a wide wattage range: basic bullet models draw 100-120W while nugget ice makers like the GE Opal reach 360W. All use small hermetic compressors with estimated 3x startup surge. The parent profile uses the highest variant to prevent under-sizing.
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~11.9h. Ice production cycles on and off — the compressor runs for a few minutes, rests while ice forms, then restarts. Average power over a session is lower than peak rated watts, extending effective runtime on battery.
Field Note
Know which type you have before sizing your station. A bullet maker (100-120W) runs all day on a mid-range battery. A nugget maker (360W) needs a station with at least 500W continuous output and enough capacity for the session length you want.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra power a Portable Ice Maker?
Yes. The EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra provides 6000W running / 12000W surge. The Portable Ice Maker (Countertop) needs 450W / 1350W (including 25% buffer). That leaves 5550W of running headroom and 10650W of surge margin.
How long will the Delta Pro Ultra run a Portable Ice Maker?
Approximately 11.9 hours, based on the Portable Ice Maker (Countertop)'s 360W draw and the Delta Pro Ultra's 6144Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).
What Else Can You Run?
