KitchenAid Shave Ice Attachment for Stand Mixers, KSMSIA

The shaved ice is nice and soft, plentiful from just 1 ice cup also.

We just love this attachment. It shaves the ice till it is just as fine as snow. We have used it at least twice a week since receiving it. We just shave the ice and add the snow cone syrup. It is such a nice, sweet treat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product because I couldn't find a decent ice shaver that will produce a particular Filipino ice dessert called HaloHalo. The ice shaver attachment was uncomplicated to assemble and a breeze to use. Unfortunately, unlike most people, I have no inclination in taking a lot of random photos but I can assure you the product works really well and served my purpose! Thanks Kitchen Aid 😊

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Huge fan of this attachment I came across . It attaches quickly and shaves the ice cube in record time The texture is great for snowballs The cube makes enough ice for a kids size snow cone I have pre frozen a bag full of cubes that you make in the 4 containers that come with attachment.

there is a steep learning curve because I am 1} old 2} no teenagers to help. That being said, I love this product. There's some things that I had to do because I am not that strong to use this product. First of all, even though the instructions tell you to get the plunger pull the plunger up once it's attached, I did everything before I attached it to the machine. So first, I pulled the plunger up until I heard the click. Once that happened, I did detach the ice holder and other parts but mine came together so I didn't need to remove the blade. I also found that because it was off of the machine, it was a lot easier to align the ice cup with the ice inside with The whatever you wanna call that big white thing that is gonna run the shaver. However, once I got it all set up it made really great shaved ice. What you want to know is at the end. It will come out kind of chunky because I did not make sure my ice blocks were level but frankly, I don't care. This is a great way for me to get water.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to make Slushies for the grandchildren , they love it, I haven't had it long, I have yet to experiment further, I'm sure the possibilities are endless. Atm we are trying different flavours of Slushies , will be great and refreshing in summer, especially as we live in North Queensland.

Have had the shave ice attachment for a 3 years. I love it! I have a lot of the attachments. Nothing was not worth it. Even use the larger appliances in my kitchen. My KitchenAid appliances have all been reliable.

Ok, I don't feel like I am normally an idiot, but don't make the mistake I did. The instructions aren't super clear that you must run the ice puck container under water to release the puck and then use it. Seems obvious in retrospect, but instructions not clear. If you do not remove the puck, you will feel like it is surprisingly hard to get the Detachable Ice Cup mounted and then your mixer will struggle. You will wonder why, then notice black in your shave ice. And then realize you are shaving plastic. Not good. Especially since only 4 cups come with the machine. Sigh. Once set up properly, it seems to work much better. Obviously. Might have ruined the blade with the plastic bc texture is more snow cone than shave ice to this exHawaii girl. But maybe user error hurt a bit here. Doh! Don't be like me.

The problem is not the product. The problem is Walmart. Product showed that it was delivered and it was not verified by camera. Credit issued and then taken back. Was told would not be delivered. Ordered from Amazon for 25.00 less and was delivered in 3 days. Walmart delivered showed up on Christmas Eve. Had to send back and as of 1/9/24 still have not received my credit

Used this for one summer several times and enjoyed it. Put the parts away for winter. When we got it back out we found that the main upper housing does not connect with the driving shaft that is screwed into it anymore. Took the metal shaft mechanism (that ends in a square profile post), and looked inside the white main unit. There appears to be something missing or broken off, because the metal shaft no longer connects to the gear mechanism. We have no idea what happened, but what a total bummer. Can't afford a new one. Can't sell this one. Can't fix it. Can't find a replacement part. Pretty unhappy.
