Nostalgia Snow Cone Maker, Shaved Ice Machine with 2 Ice Molds, Green

Was a gift for 4-year-old grandchild for birthday. It did shave ice well from ice cubes but left a good bit in the machine. Did not use container provided for making round ice at time. An adult will have to run it because it takes strength to hold and push the top down to shave the ice. Still made a nice gift and something the family can enjoy this summer. Doesn't put the nice rounded top you see at fairs and a little messy with a bowl underneath. Be prepared for the colored syrup toppings to stain around and down the mouth so might not want before going out. The syrup might stain cloths also. Still overall a nice family summer treat.

Timely delivery. As advertised. Sometimes ice needs to be rearranged to finish shaving it. Just a few cubes makes more ice shavings than you'd think! Try usual juice, as bottled flavors sold are very strong and relatively expensive.

Hands down the best ice shaver and I have tried them all. Works best with the best ice molds. Durable!

Stop right there. I've tried the commercial stuff. It blows the ice in a wide path. You need a bowl to catch the ice and a lot more money. Buy this. Your search is over. Perfect snow cones every time.

Takes me back to childhood

very good job it done for me thank you

I love the look have not tried it yet

Works well. I use it once a week

I would prefer a softer/finer ice. This comes out too hard. Also, it took forever for me to get it to start working.

There's not too much I can say about it. It arrived and it worked one time and then it wouldn't turn on again so I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anybody else. I'll try the next one.
