Product Description

Amazon.com Review
A fun and snazzy gift for the margarita and frozen daiquiri lover, this hand-cranked ice crusher is right out of Ozzie and Harriet. Load the ice cubes in, crank away, and stop when the ice reaches the proper consistency, from coarse to fine, for either cocktails, slushies, or a bed of ice for displaying oysters on the half-shell. The top and handle are sturdily constructed of metal in a polished chrome finish, while the plastic base is available in a choice of clear or a translucent color. Wash all the parts by hand, and relax knowing there's a lifetime warranty on all moving parts. --Ann Bieri

1.0 out of 5 stars BAD product, LOUSY customer service., August 16, 2007

By	Bigbobper - See all my reviews

I bought this item from Amazon in February 2007.
After 2 or 3 months, I started noticing silver sprinkled
in my ice. I finally put 2 & 2 together and figured
it had to do with the "chrome' wearing off the crusher.

I sent them an e-mail on July 3rd & got a nice response.
I thought I would get a replacement from them but since
that initial response I've e-mailed them 3 times & been
met with TOTAL SILENCE.

Don't bother with this company.

5.0 out of 5 stars Built to last, March 27, 2008

By	K. Windsor (Zephyrhills, Florida USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this ice crusher after going through (2) electric crushers by
Waring Pro. The Waring Pro is not designed for every day use, because
after about 6-8 weeks the crushing gears become damaged and slip, poor
design. I must say this little crusher is built to last and holds up to
several uses each day, also found that if you wet the ice before crushing
the cranking is slightly easier.

3.0 out of 5 stars pretty good, very pretty, July 12, 2007

By	Karen Nelson (Takoma Park, MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I gave this as a gift to my boyfriend, who likes to make crushed ice drinks. I hoped that we could avoid using the electric blender, but no luck. The ice just does not get crushed small enough. However, it is pretty to look at, nice and heavy, and easy to use. If you don't care about making "slush" type drinks, then you might be very happy with it.
