I used this once a day, every day for 2 months to crush 1.5 trays of ice cubes. Worked great at first. Quieter than I expected based on other reviews. After a week, crushing took a lot longer. I believe the blades dulled quickly. You need to hold the crusher while in action. It thrashes the ice around violently and can work itself off the counter if not held down. If seldom used, it might be more practical, but for steady use, it is pretty lame. Cheaply built. Wears out fast.

I have had this ice crusher for about 8 months. I am not impressed. It puts out rather course ice chips even if I use the ice machine in my refridgerator first to break down the cubes. The underpowered motor often stops if you feed the machine even a little bit fast with chipped ice. The design is nice and it is quite easy to use, but this does not do you much good if it jams and gives you rather poor crushed ice. You can only make enough ice for about 1 drink, so it is not good for a birthday party etc with more than 3-4 people. It appears to me that you can get a better unit for less money or you can get a really good crusher/shaver for another 25 to 75 bucks.
BTW: I still use mine because it was a gift. But I will soon replace it...

This ice crusher is great for mixed drinks. It's easy to use and easy to clean up.
