Just got one of these and I've been churning out delicious snow cones and slushies every day. I figure it will pay for itself in the next week from all the trips it's saved me trotting down to the local corner mart for the store bought variety.
The new machine arrived well packaged. It's worth reading the couple pages in the manual before assembly and operation but assembly is easy and you will be up and running in a couple of minutes -- literally. The product is solidly built plastic and well engineered. Nothing seems flimsy or makeshift.
About one standard sized ice cube tray worth of ice cubes fits in the top at a time; it self-feeds but you might have to reposition the cubes (a quick and easy task) about once per load to optimize the cutting. It takes about 4-5 minutes to grind through a tray's worth, and it works fine unattended. It's a bit noisy but tolerable -- after all, you are cutting ice. After a few times you will learn the sound of the cut vs the sound of the machine so you know when repositioning the cubes might speed things up. Two trays will fill the bottom bowl. Most pleasant surprise -- no mess at all, contrary to what you might expect. This is tightly engineered, and the bottom container locks nicely in place.
Pro-tip: Put your coffee cup if you use that, into the freezer before filling it to reduce meltdown of the finished product.
Warning: You must order the syrup separately!
Disclaimer: I have no ties to Hamilton Beach and no conflict of interest. This is a great little buy!
