Shaved Ice Machine 380W Electric Ice Crusher Triple Blades Ice Crusher Shaver 286lbs/hr Snow Cone Machine 1500 RPM Stainless Steel Ice Shaver Ice Shaving Machine for Home and Commercial

It works as advertised and produces small or large ice pieces (not cubes). Easy to use, and has an audible, but low noise level. We just put the water in, set the appropriate settings and let it go to work. It stops when the water level gets low so there are no wet accidents. The price is good for the benefit derived. Glad we bought it - wrestling with ice cube trays is not my favorite thing to do.

I purchased this machine to make snow cones for a kids party. This is seriously an industrial style machine. We purchased bags of ice and scooped it right into the inlet and it's shaved in a second. Beautiful fluffy snow cone ice, and i know we will get tons of use out of this machine for a long time to come. Although it does have a safety mechanism that turns the machine on when the handle goes down, it can be manually moved from the outside so I would say that this machine should not be used by children unless directly supervised. I believe the mechanism should be shielded in some way. There are three large blades inside that spin very fast and the mechanism (spring switch) can be lifted while the handle is up exposing the spinning blades, and I know how kids are... In any case the machine is otherwise safe and easy to use. It works great at the edge of a sink or somewhere that lets the melted ice (water) drain away from the machine. Just due to the nature of making shaved ice, it melts quickly and creates a puddle. We loved this machine, it makes the best ice we have ever had, but there is room for improvement safety wise if kids are involved!

First off this thing is a beast, if I dropped it, I’d be more worried about my floor than it, the thing is ridiculously sturdy and feels very professional. It’s very well priced for what feels like high end equipment, and it’s very easy to operate. On the cleaning end it can get a bit tedious to get it completely dry, but it’s not too difficult once you get the hang of it. Obviously this is an ice shaver so it is LOUD, but it’s very fast and has a decent hopper, so it’s not loud for very long. My only complaint is that the bowl could fit a little bit better under the shaver, I’ve had some issues with ice spilling. Using the right size cups and holding it under can definitely help, though.

Purchased for my mother who is an ice munching addict. She loves it

Bought this for a summer camp to make snow cones. Easy to use, shaved ice is soft and fluffy. Pan collects snow as it comes out, but I do have to constantly spin to make space for the snow or it backs up. We used bagged ice and it worked perfectly. Took it on vacay with our families and all the cousins enjoyed having a treat each afternoon after coming off the beach.

I love the way that this machine shave the ice. It’s not snowy but very fine cut. Love it. Material is very good.

I love shaved ice more than anything, even ice cream, just straight ice. It is the most satisfying snack at any time, especially on a hot day. At night, it helps me go to sleep. I have always wanted a way to have shaved ice at home any time I wanted it and now I do. I like diet coke and now I can make it a slushy ... yummy. Thank you to those who made and sold this great product ... I love it and am glad I found it.

Makes the best shaved ice for snow cones. I’m not sure what went wrong but the motor went out after the second use
