[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids and I have had so much fun making shaved ice! Setting it up was super easy. I love that the lid needs to be locked for it to work. I feel very safe letting my kids use it. We use about 6-10 full size ice cubes to make a big bowl of shaved ice. We found a really easy recipe to make the syrup using drink mix packets. Cannot recommend this enough!

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 love this little shaved ice maker. It is super easy to use right out of the box. You put the ice in the bowl and turn the lid and let it do its thing. The instructions are easy to follow about how to take it apart and clean it. Just watch out for the blade underneath the bowl as it is kind of exposed. So, I tried out both cubed ice and crushed ice. Both of them turned out fine but the crushed ice did give a bit fluffier, more snow cone like texture which is what I prefer. I'm definitely impressed with this machine. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works awesome. It crushed the ice easily. The kids made snow cones while adults added the ice to some lemonade. It is conveint and a nice thing to have. I really love the color too. These products are always a fun thing to have.

[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.

[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.] I like this Dash product. I love ice so this is awesome. If you like snow cones(raspas) you’ll like this. What a nice treat to make after a hot afternoon. It’s super easy to operate and clean. It can get a little messy with water so I clean it right away to avoid that. I don’t let the ice sit out like instructions suggested. I do smash the ice a bit though. It really does shave the ice. My kids absolutely love it too. Great product!

[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.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this a couple months ago to use to make fun summer drinks and I’m glad I did! We’ve made everything from slushy margaritas to snow cones for the kids. The kids even love eating just the plain shaved ice to cook off on hot summer days. It is easy to use and clean and stores easily on our standard kitchen shelving. SO glad we got this ice shaver!
