5.0 out of 5 stars Best snow maker out of four I tried, September 16, 2004

Having purchased snow cone makers for years I can attest to the simplicity and safety of this machine.
The blade is tucked away not out where a child or young adult can shave off skin while using or cleaning.
While all electrical appliances require adult supervision until an older age, I am really impressed with this machine for safety.
You lift the top of the machine and put in the ice, then you close the top and hold it down so that the motor engages and it starts shaving the ice. When finished unplug it and then I found you can set it on a drain and any excess ice will melt and drain out. You can also just turn it upside down and pour out any excess ice.

The blade can come loose after multiple uses however, it tightens down easy by a knob on the outside of the machine.

I am really impressed with this little snow cone/shaved ice maker. Mine has lasted for over a year of heavy useage. I have purchased this as gifts for my grandchildren and a niece/

5.0 out of 5 stars faster/better than hamilton beach snowman, August 18, 2005

This review is from: Rival Snow Cone Maker (Kitchen)

I got the Hamilton Beach snowman ice shaver last week ordered from this site and it was satisfactory. My friend had enjoyed the shaved ice, so 2 days ago I went to Target and bought the Rival Snow Cone maker (for $19.99) because I needed a birthday gift for her that day. IT WAS SOOO MUCH FASTER!!!!!! This is the one to get. Makes me want to return the Hamilton beach model, but i threw out the box.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best!!, September 9, 2005

This review is from: Rival Snow Cone Maker (Kitchen)

I bought this snow cone maker at the beginning of July and we have used it every day since it came in the mail. The adults love it just as much as the kids. Very easy to use and easy to clean up. The only problem I have had is unscrewing the inner chamber when I wash it...it seems to take a little muscle to make it catch. I would buy this machine again in a heartbeat!! No need to invest in expensive syrups, just buy unsweetened Kool-Aid mix (we like lemon the best). Boil 1 cup of water with 1 1/2 cups of sugar. When it comes to a rolling boil, remove from the heat and stir in the Kool-Aid mix. Let it cool, add to ice shavings and enjoy!! (The original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar but I prefer a thinner syrup to add to the ice.)
