I bought this back in September 2022 and kept it in the box since it was a Christmas gift for my kids. I just tried to use it for the first time since it is winter here and the demand for shaved ice from the kids has not been a thing until today and lo an behold it will not turn on and will not work! I did all the trouble shooting and nothing works. I truly hope that the warranty is honored and this gets replaced since now I see it is a sold out item. Truly disappointed and hope this can be resolved :(

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids were super excited to make some shaved ice with this. I was pleasantly surprised at how fast and easy it was to use. Easy to clean and store away also. It's one of those things you didn't think you needed but are really glad you have.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the cutest shaved ice machine, comes in a variety of colors. It’s a great size and easy to store. The ice chops up really fine and is easy for my kids to use without my assistance! We love it so much we bought one for a friend for her birthday!

I bought this shaved ice maker a while ago but am just now getting around to trying it. I put it together and plugged it in. It didn't work at all. I finally took it apart and instantly a piece fell out of the inside. That was the piece we had heard rattling around in there. Then we identified that the switch was not attached so when the plastic piece slides it over, it wouldn't press down the metal switch. The screw that holds that piece down only sticks out about 2 threads, tops. I screwed it on the best I could and closed the unit up. It does now work, but I am not confident at all that it will last any length of time. I have no idea if the broken piece was supposed to provide some function or if it was just trash sitting in there.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to make goodies with this shaved ice maker. I had to look at the directions to see how to put it together because the base goes in another piece which is great for storage. There was no on an off button so the only way to turn it on was by plugging it in. Once the ice was in there it kept stopping. I’m not sure if it was because the ice was getting low but I had to keep unplugging it and replug it back in to use it. I didn’t even get all of the ice out. It was a pain.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Yay! Shaved ice at home! This was exciting to get, it works well, shaved ice is perfect for snow cones and slushy drinks. I even used this with frozen watermelon and made it like a fresh sorbet. My son loves it and I do too. One of the biggest pros for me is that it never smelled like a new appliance! Hallelujah! Almost every new appliance I get smells like chemicals from a factory and it always makes me like the appliance less because I feel like it’s somehow poisonous. Not with this Dash Ice Shaving machine, no smells at all, as it should be! I lost the instructions before using but simply looked up the product on Dash’s website and they had all the information linked in PDF, what a wonderful consumer experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter and I love our new snowcone machine. It takes only a couple minutes to set up. It's extremely easy to use and the ice comes out more crushed than shaved. No you won't get perfect fluffy snow but it definitely works for quick snowcones. This has been super fun for my daughter and her friends during the summer.

This is my favorite purchase in so long and I like to shop. Even my BF has figured out how to use the one at his other house that I got because it is the best. No pre planning needed unlike the expensive one that goes on the kitchen aid . You can use ice cubes and syrup if you like that I use frozen fruit and ice then add super cold fruit nectar or sweetened condensed milk and mix it well and it's wonderful. Also I can make it with mango and pineapple and put Tajin and Chamoy on it if I am feeling tangy. I froze my Vietnamese coffee and will be running it through here as well . Easy to clean up . I LOVE it .It lets me have complete control over my potassium and still have delicious treats. I can have really large bowls since so much is Ice . Anyway if anyone was thinking about getting the KitchenAid ice shaver I would definitely go with this over that. And I have done a lot with the kitchen aid one but you have to preplan too much and when I bought mine you couldn't get extra cups that you need . So this is 1/2 the price and way easier

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this so I could make snow cones for my kids. It works perfected and is very easy to use. You put the ice in and turn it on. It shaves it perfectly for a great snow cone. You can take the lid off and put ice in as it's running. The blades are covered so you won't get your hands as you put the ice in. You put the ice in turn it on get your shave ice then put your syrup on the ice and enjoy. The head comes of so its very easy to take apart and clean. Perfected little snow cone machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shaved ice maker is fantastic! It is super easy to operate, fits beautifully on my counter and makes a great summer treat! Add a little flavored syrup and it makes a delightfully refreshing shaved ice cone!
