 Wanted to Love it... May 22, 2005

Bought this as a Xmas present for my child and we used it a couple of times...loved the idea...cute concept, worked with just ice cubes...easy to use and loved the idea that it had the snow cone holder built right in....BUT...we kept getting little white shards of plastic in our snow cones...I cleaned the machine out twice, and tried again...still plastic shards...called the manufacturer...no response at all. I wanted to love this machine...it had all the makings of a success, and had the manufacturer responded, I might have even tried another to see if I had just gotten a lemon...but no response, thru email or phone. Now I am trying to find another one, by a different manufacturer, that won't leave me with a bad taste in my mouth...from poor customer service OR white shaved pieces of plastic.
 Great...until May 19, 2005

This machine worked great! I used it about five times and was very impressed. My kids loved it. But after the fifth time it broke.
 Great anytime of the day July 5, 2004

I recieved this for my birthday and I love it. About 10 cubes makes two cones. Mine came with the little plastic cups. This is also good if you want to add ice to your drink. Sometimes if it stops shaving unplug it then take a paper towel and wipe where the ice shavings come out then plug back in and have at it. Sometimes the cold from the ice can make the blades freeze alittle thats why you sometimes have to wipe them off. You have to have the lid on and turned to the left for it to work so safe to use. Dosent seem like any rinky dink toy does real good job. Not supposed to use more then five minutes at a time though so you dont burn up the motor. But no kiddin this shaves like powder snow.

This is a great machine for in-home use. I had a pool party and made so many snow cones, I thought my fingers were going to freeze off!!
I haven't had any problems with this machine at all. I really like the fact that you can use regular ice cubes for shaving. Just buy a large bag of ice from the market, fill the ice shute, turn the machine on, and get to it!!
With all of the different flavors on the market (try Hawaiianshavedice.com) you will have many tasty treats.
Be Blessed!!

I bought the Old Fashioned Snow Cone maker for my 3 year old son's birthday and his face lit up when I opened it. I made 2 small snow cones and he was ecstatic, but then the machine just flat out broke. It stopped running after 2 snow cones and never worked again. I opened it, emptied the ice and there were no jams. Checked the power chord and nothing helped. 20 minutes after opening this machine, my ecstatic 3 year old was curled up crying his heart out in my lap.
This machine is cute, but weighs only a couple pounds, which tells you it has a very cheap motor. I would gladly have paid $100 for this to have a stronger motor and actually work the way it was supposed to. Stay away from this machine, far away.
