Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

No need to wait for the state fair to enjoy a refreshing snow cone thanks to this easy-to-use snow-cone machine. The countertop appliance uses regular-size ice cubes, and its durable stainless-steel blades quickly transform ice into fluffy snow. Add any flavored syrup for a snow cone, or experiment with other fun combinations--a soda pop for a slushy drink, yogurt or fruit for snow smoothies, and more. Because of its snowy fine consistency, the shaved ice absorbs flavors instead of them running to the bottom. Two reusable plastic cones are included. Other thoughtful details include a side tray to hold the snow cones, a built-in safety on/off switch, and a removable ice-cube compartment for quick cleaning. With its sleek retro-style design, the ETL-approved 40-watt snow-cone machine measures 12-1/2 by 10-1/2 by 15-1/2 inches and carries a 90-day limited warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Snow Cone Awesomeness, July 4, 2009

I was worried after reading the reviews after my purchase instead of beforehand, but I was glad I bought this snow cone machine anyway. It's extremely cute, just the right size for the family, easy to clean, and it shaves ice quickly. We've had no problems after several uses.

Someone mentioned warping blades, but that's probably due to overstuffing or something. Just drop in ice cubes and let it go. I tried putting in too much ice and even that didn't stop it from working.

Most other ice shavers require you to freeze cylinders of water, and they make extra-smooth shaved ice, but not enough to handle two kids or more.

1.0 out of 5 stars it looks pretty but it's a piece of junk, July 3, 2008

I purchased this and it did'nt even last 1 week, I followed the 5 minute instructions, related to use, at first the rotating blades warped, then the door fell off. I attempted to contact NOSTALGIA ELECTRONICS FOR replacement parts, no luck, no email, no response. SO PEOPLE DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE I MADE. I went and purchased another snowcone machine from Rival, actually I purchased two and both models were great.

I too was skeptical about buying this snow cone maker after reading some of the reviews but I'm glad I chose this one. It works great. It is a little loud but that is the only negative thing I would say. It grinds the ice just right for snow cones. I purchased a back to basics snow cone maker and it shaved the ice too fine (even on coarse). It was almost like snow and most of it melted right after I poured the syrup on it.
