Nostalgia Snow Cone Shaved Ice Machine - Retro Cart Slushie Machine Makes 48 Icy Treats - Includes Metal Scoop, Storage Compartment, Wheels for Easy Mobility - White, Blue

Shipping problems with the delicacy of the product but it works perfectly as designed

The Nostalgia Snow Cone Shaved Ice Machine is awesome! The height was smaller than I expected but it looks good and a good height for young kids to walk up and grab a snow cone from the stand. It took me less than 30 minutes to put it together and once assembled, using it, is easy. Just open the top latch, remove the blue thing that shuffles the ice, add ice, close the lid and turn it on. When the ice is being broken down, the machine is very loud so you can wake up a sleeping baby, but when outdoors, it adds to the excitement. One ice load, made about 5 cones. I love the teal and white color because it matches my outdoor rockers, pillows, and cushions and it just looks so pretty and different. I was able to lift the machine and carry it from the house, to the outdoors without too much effect but you can always use the wheels to make the job easier if you don't have stairs. When it comes to cleaning, I let all the ice melt in the top section and use a clean kitchen towel to wipe the inside clean. During my recent party, the kids and the adults, all loved eating the shaved ice from this machine. I purchased the paper cones in the butterfly print from Amazon as well as the Nostalgia syrups.

We bought one of these at first thinking it would just be a “cute little party machine.” Fast forward… now we own FOUR of them because they work so well for our business. That alone should say enough! These machines are honestly the MVPs of summer parties. They shave ice quickly, the ice comes out fluffy (not chunky like sad gas station ice), and customers constantly compliment how fun and nostalgic they look. The wheels make them easy to move around during events, and they fit perfectly into our party rental setup. Are they commercial-grade monsters? No. But for parties, events, and small business use, they’ve held up surprisingly well for us. If you treat them right and clean them after use, they keep going strong. We’ve used ours for birthday parties, family events, and busy weekends, and they’ve definitely paid for themselves. Also… there’s something funny about rolling up with FOUR matching snow cone carts like we’re running an ice empire. The kids love them, the adults suddenly become “snow cone critics,” and somehow everyone always wants blue raspberry first. Overall, we absolutely love these machines and would buy them again without hesitation. Great value, fun design, and perfect for parties or small businesses wanting to add something extra. 🍧

I bought this snow cone machine to enjoy the Easter holiday with kids. When the technician has set it up the machine wouldn't grind the ice. It wasn't even spinning. I contacted Amazon and was offered free return. Then the DHL agent in My island St. Vincent and the Grenadines said they were not informed of any such return by Amazon. This is such a headache because I spent quite a few hundred dollars between buying the item, shipping it to the Caribbean and clearing it from customs. All this for nothing because the machine isn't working. the technician then attempted to check if something was wrong and when he opened the big blue part where the motor is it was broken and still had wet glue. This is just wickedness and they are not even offering me a refund, but rather I must return it before they can determine how much of a refund I get. This is the worst experience I have had from Amazon. Just please give me my money back or a replacement of the item. Shipping to the states from the Caribbean is hard and expensive. Please Amazon or Nostalgia, you collected my money and all I have is damaged product. Please give me my money back. I'm begging you.

The ice comes out chunky. I could probably work on it but it's not mine. Gave this as a gift.

Super easy to use. It was a great idea. We bought this for our workplace. Love the ease of use.

Life of the party

I LOVE this machine. I was very skeptical because I have a popcorn machine and it takes a long time.. This machine is FAST! I would definitely recommend! I bought the gallon Hawaiian ice syrups with pumps, and I’m set!!

Es ideal para el preparado de raspados de diferentes sabores, lo he utilizado en fiestas infantiles y ha sido un éxito. lo recomiendo ampliamente

Merci pour cette belle petite machine, les enfants étaient super contents.

This product was only used once. It was setup and used as per instructions, but very quickly produced a black smoke and upon inspection found metal shavings through the ice. We attempted to return the item, but was expensive and cost more than the original product, hence we never returned it to obtain a refund.

We got it for our parties and friends gathering and was able to return it to the box. The packaging is really smart and cool. Everything in one small box the metal slightly weak, but it’s completely fine. It does the job and it comes with the blades and all the accessories. Just make sure to buy the syrup and the cup separately.

Extremely disappointed arrived not working and having difficulty returning sales manager not very helpful
