SPECSTAR Electric Ice Shaver Snow Cone Maker Machine Silver 143lbs/H for Home and Commercial Use

The area I live in has a lot of snow cone shops close after Labor Day. So I researched this snow cone maker and ordered it. It was packaged with easy directions, extra accessories and was easy to clean and get to making snowcones fast. It's much better than the hand-crank snow cone makers I had as a kid, which were barely crushed ice and like eating rocks of hard ice. However, this also isn't the highest level of machine (which run over $200). But this is made with metal, looks like it'll last a long time (and has a replacement blade as well) and it is a great at-home snow cone machine. I could also see this being used as something to make frozen drinks with as well. I ordered snow cone syrup separately and used my ice maker's ice to make my snow cones. Also, have a towel handy, as ice melts into water, but this was the only issue (which is more about ice than the machine). I'm pretty sure this will be something I bring out at summer cookouts or parties and I expect it'll impress your guests and yourself!

I can't say enough good about this machine. I had no idea i could purchase at such a resonable price. It shaves ice incredibly fast. Plan to get one delivered to my son in Denver and get an extra one for me. I ordered an ice maker last night to keep up with how much I have been eating the ice. It works beautifully. Also I found recipes to make syrup online. I am thrilled

I plugged it in, turned it on right out of the box, and tested it. It made the perfect shaved ice for snow cones! The machine is a bit noisy but nothing too bad. I am glad I made the purchase.

This is not a commercial machine even though it looks like one! It looks well built and the cutting blade is nice and thick so it should last! It is definitely under powered but will get the job done! Just feed the ice slowly! It looks good sitting on my counter and is well worth the $60.00 I paid for it!

It's very messy if you use ice kubes, better if you use ice block. I got the 4 blades one which is way too powerful and overkill, melting the ice during the process I think the single blade will work much better

one of the best purchases we have made. One handful of ice makes a large snowball in seconds. We went with the 4 blade option. Suggest putting a tray under the machine for the melted ice.

This ice shaver works so good! If you like Pina Coladas or Hurricanes you will be in Heaven! I put in 7 ice cubes ,Turn it on and Gently push on the handle and rotate the tray because the shaved ice comes out fast!.

Dislike: loud, but acceptable since it's the nature of the beast. Could not adjust the coarseness of the ice. It was good for snow cones, but too fine for drinks (it melted too fast resulting in watery drinks). Likes: compact, fast and efficient. Looks good for what it is. Has necessary safety features that work without being intrusive to functionality. Easy to use.

grindes the ice fine it does a really god job at it, but just get one with a box under it it is so much easier

This machine makes the greatest shaved ice for my granddaught's snow cones. It is a real treat on a hot day. The sharp blades grinds the ice to a perfect blend in the blink of an eye.
