[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shaved ice maker does work but when it is plugged in and working to shave the ice it is very loud. We had to put a larger bowl under the section to catch all the ice shavings. Once complete we spooned them into bowls and added flavor. Overall it was ok, just cumbersome.

My kids love using this to make snow cones and Icee bowls.I bought those snow cone cups and they just hold it under the shaver and it let snow.It makes a perfect cone shaped ball. You need to use ice cubes that come from trays.You can't just use ice blocks made from a bowl or container.If you do it won't fit, but we get around it by using a hammer and breaking it up.Be sure to double bag the block first. This device is easy to use, easy to clean, and I bought it because it has a NICE aqua color!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always wanted one of these, but never could convince myself I really needed one. After trying it out, I've decided it reaches full NEED level. First of all, it comes in a few pieces, but it's super easy to assemble. The light turquoise color is so retro and cute. It's also simple to operate. You just fill the top compartment with ice cubes and lock it in place, then run them through the machine for perfectly slushy shaved iced. You could buy pre-made syrups, but it also comes with a booklet explaining how to make your own. It really just takes sugar and whatever kind of fruit you enjoy. I actually like to mix in frozen fruit right with the ice and syrup. It's so delicious and refreshing. This is amazing if you have kids, or for parties. This is going to be my favorite new kitchen gadget for a long time to come!

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.] This machine is seriously perfect. Love making shaved ice just to be easier to eat than just ice and my kids love that they can make snow cones with this right at home. Great product for families. Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy that I got this right in time for the heat wave! This little machine is so much fun to make snow cones on a hot summer day. It was easy to use, and very small, so even easier to store. I definitely recommend purchasing this product.
