There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Snow cone machine arrived and my kids were so excited. We got everything unboxed and setup to make our first batch. Filled it with ice, held down the lever to apply slight pressure, and pressed the motor button. The blades were turning but no snow coming out. So we tried to apply more pressure and got nothing but water from the heat of the blades spinning but not actually shaving the ice. We emptied it all out and gave it time to cool off, watched videos to make sure we weren't missing a step, went and got a bag of ice to see if that would work better. Nothing helped. We have requested an exchange via Amazon so hoping the new one actually works but after reading the most recent reviews it looks like we aren't the only one who has had this problem. I did notice all the positive reviews are from over a year ago (or more) so makes me curious if the company's product quality has fallen through the years. Fingers crossed the new one gets here and works perfectly. If it does then I'll change my review, but I will say it sucks to wait 5 days to get this only to have to wait another 5 more days to get the replacement. I have a couple of disappointed kiddos to say the least.
1. It comes with a door. The door is plexiglass and the other three sides are glass.
2. When the machine arrived, it required some simple assembly. The shaft from the motor that drives the blades was very, very loose. It needs to be secured with the included alan wrench. It is extremely easy to do. If the blades ever need adjusting, that too is incredibly simple. If you watch the YouTube video, it looks like a pain. I assure you, it's not. The factory settings for the blades were spot on and did not require adjusting.
3. Will this shave ice? YES! If you freeze water inside of a plastic cup, it will shave it and leave virtually no ice, just light fluffy snow.
4. If you use crushed ice, it will shave about 75% and leave the remaining 25% as small ice fragments.
5. The machine is quiet. I was surprised by how quiet it was. It is about the same noise level as a dishwasher.
6. It is heavy. That is the only negative I have found. That and it has no handles to make transport easy.
We bought this because I was sick of the small units breaking down on me. We have it for home use but friends are wanting to use this at parties they have and we are more than happy to lend it out. If we encounter any problems, I will post it right away.
The unit arrived well packaged in a sturdy box with plenty of foam cushioning in the corners, and was easy to set up. It was ready to go out of the box, with the exception of attaching the pusher to the grinding assembly, a matter of removing and retightening one bolt.
This is a heavy unit and is definately not portable. It weighs about 50 pounds and there are no handles or convenient spots to grab it on the bottom to carry it around. The two sides and the "back" -- the side away from the operator, are glass panels and the front side is open. The glass does add to the weight -- polycarbonate panels would make it lighter, but also more expensive.
I will probably purchase a door kit, as ice does splatter around when it shoots down into the tray. Some ice does fly out the open front side and goes onto the operator and onto the floor. Not a big nuisance but it could be if you were running it all day and didn't have an apron on.
Also included is a useful owner's manual, an allen wrench for adjusting the blades to make finer or coarser ice, and a plastic scoop for making snow cones.
Overall, I like this unit a lot and have plans for lots of ways to use this to make some extra money on the side after the big event is over that I purchased it for.
