Perfect
I’m 7 months pregnant and snow and ice have been my biggest craving. I eat about 4 snowcones per day. This machine has been the best pregnancy purchase I’ve made!I initially bought a cheaper Nostalgia machine but it had plastic parts that broke within two weeks under the constant use. This one is reliable and fast, and I’ve figured out a technique to get the perfect shaved ice from it.It comes with two plastic molds for making ice cylinders. The instructions say to leave them on the counter for a few minutes to let them melt before grinding, but I’ve found that popping them right into the machine from the freezer makes “dryer” snow. If you tap the mold on the counter 3-4 times it loosens up the ice block enough that you can turn it upside down and shake it into the machine. Then you apply HARD pressure continuously on the top of the machine to grind it down fast. It takes about 20 seconds to make a perfect bowl of snow.Make sure you dump out the extra ice from the machine and put a bowl under it to catch the drips. I also leave the top grinder portion off to prevent the blade from rusting.

Bought as a whim. I wasn’t sure how well it would work. Surprisingly, it works amazingly. It’s easy to assemble, use and clean. The ice shaves soft and fluffy. The kit comes with two circular containers to fill with water and freeze. The frozen circles fit perfectly inside the shaver. I did not fear that my fingers would be shaved off either. Great purchase!

My husband has been asking for a "snow cone maker" since he was a kid. We've been together 25 years, and he always mentions it when Christmas rolls around. I kept telling him, "We don't need another appliance to store. I really don't think you'll use it as often as you think." Well, I was wrong. I got this for him for his birthday, and he was ECSTATIC. He has used it every day, multiple times per day. We find sugar free syrups at a discount store in town, and he is just as happy as can be. Also, the machine itself works perfectly and is easy to operate, easy to clean, and easy to store. It works with both regular ice cubes (more of a slushie consistency like a Sonic slush) or makes frosty-snow like a snow cone if you use the molds they provide. Very happy, satisfied customer!

I opened it and saw the tiny little razor blade and though no way this item will work without jamming. However the instructions are clear, please let the ice sit for 5-7 minutes before using and it works great. I made about 3 shaved ice cones before my stomach hurt and my 7 year old and I loved it. Great for the summer and cooling down.

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2014
I use this ice shaver every day, and it definitely has some pros and cons.

I'll do the cons first, because they're what I always want to know when I read a review. (Btw, I use this machine to make ice for my drinks in order to avoid breaking my teeth by chewing on ice. Keep that in mind when considering how the ice will react to flavored syrup).

CONS:
* If you use the ice in a drink within 24 hours, expect it to quickly melt. It needs about 24 hours in a freezer for it to compact enough to not melt right away.
* The machine does NOT shave ice cubes well. Even though they fit in the container and the instructions say you can, it takes forever for the machine to shave them. You really have to use ice made in the circular containers they give you --- if you do, it shaves the ice fairly quickly.
* You have to push down on the power button as you shave the ice. This bothers me, since I'm afraid it's going to cause the motor to wear out quicker. I'd much rather there be a switch.
* The machine is in two pieces, and the top only connects to the bottom by a fairly thin piece of plastic. Since you have to exert a lot of pressure on the top in order to power the machine and shave the ice, I'm afraid it is going to break one day (though three months later, it's still going strong). I try to take care of it by supporting the underside of the top with my fingers and only using my thumbs to exert downward force on the machine.
* The no-slip pad is pretty useless. It curls quickly and doesn't stay stuck to the machine.
* The machine leaves 1/4" thick disc of ice at the bottom every time it shaves. I guess it can't reach all the way down. Not sure why it's manufactured that way, but it seems a big waste to me.
* After three months of daily use, the machine seems to be having a harder time cutting ice --- almost as if the ice were slipping past the blade. However, as far as I can tell, the mechanism inside is still tight and the blade is still sharp, so I'm not sure why that would be the case.

PROS:
* Shaving the ice right after removing it from the circular container results in small crystal pieces, while letting it melt a little results in long flakes.
* If you use the circular containers to make ice, the machine is fairly quick to shave it (within about 20 seconds depending on how much you let the ice melt).
* It is less noisy than some other machines, though it still makes a loud whirring sound when you're shaving the ice.
* After three months of use, it's still going strong.

After trying the machine out, I debated whether or not to return it. I ended up keeping it, mostly because I didn't really see a better option for the price. It works for me as long as I let the ice sit for 24 hours (I rotate two bags --- one "old" ice for eating and one "freshly shaved" for sitting) so it's frozen enough to not immediately melt.

Not sure if I would order it again. I'm still waiting to see if it lasts out the year.

I had this for at least 7 years before I lost it in a move and bought another one to replace it. My original was still going strong so I think the quality is good. It’s very easy to leave the molds in the freezer so you have what you need when you’re craving a treat. The shaved ice is fluffy and the machine isn’t too loud. The best advice I got was to leave the ice mold out for 5-7 minutes before using it to make shaved ice.
