Electric Shaved Ice Machine,with Ice Pick and Scoop,3 Blades of Electric Snow Cone Machine(300W 2200r/min),Splash Proof Ice Shaver Machine,Ice Crusher Machine for Home Commercial Use (Silver)

This Ice machine really makes the perfect Sno-cone Ice. Upon receiving the item, I noticed manufacturing oil on the ice machine. I very, very carefully (because of the sharp blades), wiped with well wrung soap rag and then just ran a single cycle of ice to clean it out. On the subject of blades: BE CAREFUL when lifting/moving the machine. There are also sharp blades where the snow comes out of the neck. Lift the machine by the top and bottom, and NEVER under the neck. There is a warning but it is lower on the side.Ok: It is also important to note that the grey plastic flap on the handle is NOT for shipping. (I almost tossed it.) Keep it! It helps to keep ice and water in the machine.Here's what I did first run: I used a 6 square icecubes from a tray of ice we had in the fridge. This is NOT the optimal ice to use per the booklet that came with the ice machine. However, I added the cubes, plugged in the power, held the handle down and turned the machine on.I realized in 2 seconds I was holding down too hard when I heard the motor hum. As soon as I let up a tad, the ice went FLYING through the machine and piled up in the bowl. I wondered why the bowl sat so loosely in its tray- that's because I had to turn the bowl as it filled with the snow. Since I didn't know that initially, I did have some ice mess, but no biggie. I have a slightly taller stainless mixing bowl that I may try using next time. I will just have to make sure not to block the outflow.I got that shaved bowl of ice in the pic in about 6 seconds! We even made snowballs with it and played with the dog in 95 degree weather. Just perfect! So, so easy to use.I am going to get another of those diatomaceous earth mats from Amazon to set the ice machine on. That way, any ice overflow or melt will be caught- that includes the condensation on the outside of the machine after running the ice through.Overall, we are thrilled with this ice machine. It would be nice not to have to spin the bowl, but hey- it's only six seconds. I DO recommend this Sno-cone machine. It is sturdy, functional, and fun!5 stars.

The media could not be loaded. There's a lot to like about this shaved ice machine. It looks nice, I like the design and the color. It's extremely simple to operate! The instruction manual is very short and basically you just put it on your counter, turn it on, put ice in it and close the cover--voila, shaved ice! Other than rotating the bowl to keep the shaved ice evenly distributed and keeping very slight pressure on the lid, you just stand there and make everyone happy by giving them a sno cone! It comes with a nice scoop and ice pick which are quite handy. The blades are quite sharp and don't have any problem shaving the ice. There's no assembly or disassembly which is fabulous. It's loud as one would expect, but not overly so. I used the ice from my refrigerator and it was a bit "crunchier" than I would have liked and I wonder if freezing water into larger blocks of ice would change that? It certainly did not diminish my enjoyment of my treat though. The feet grip firmly onto the counter, so there isn't any slippage, but ice did tend to shoot out if I opened the lid before the ice was finished, so keep the lid closed until the ice is done! (it didn't shoot out dangerously or anything but if you don't want to have to clean up little puddles of water, just keep the lid closed...) It's not overly heavy and is easy to transport to wherever you need it, I think it would be fun to use at church picnics. It comes with just the ice machine, so when you order this, be sure and order your syrups and paper cones so you don't have to wait to enjoy using it. My only regret is that I ordered this at the end of summer, it's been a Long, Hot summer and I could've been enjoying my shaved ice all season if I'd ordered sooner!! Very pleased with it so far.

This electric shaved ice machine is a fun addition for both our personal use and small gatherings. It turns solid cubes into a mix of fluff and pellets ideal for drinks and snowcones in seconds.It feels sturdy enough for regular use, though the machine is a bit loud when running. It's important to note it is for HOME commercial use- meaning parties and small gatherings. It's not made for the heavy long-term demands of a snowcone stand, festival vending, or concession stands at a big game.

Pros:Great way to cool the whole family down during the hot summer. Grab some ice and flavoring and you'll have a blast making snow cones for the family during the heatwave of summer.Con: Ice will fly everywhere!! Clean up is just water though. LOL

Easy to use! Blades are very sharp to shave use! Not too loud while operating…

I love this shaved ice machine. It works great. This is very easy to use. I love the ice feeder. The size and shape is perfect. We have snow cones a lot around here and this machine is a total game changer. The crushed ice is always consistent. It is super quick and so easy to clean. This is an excellent value for the money. It does take up a bit more room on my counter than I like but the pluses far outweigh that.

Living in Hawaii for a few years, shave ice is something that's dearly missed on days you can't make your way up to the North Shore. However, even for multiple servings, this machine punches above its weight class. It truly is a commercial-grade piece of equipment and while it may not look very flashy, it chops ice just as fine as any high-quality shop. Perfect for a hot day, ho brah!

Pop your ice in and shave away. This machine is perfect for movie night snow comes out if you just want slushy drinks. It’s easy and self explanatory.
