Fantastic!!! It made our 4th July weekend extra special.
I purchased this snow cone maker as a last minute 4th July long weekend treat. Since we didn't plan much for the weekend and didn't want to spend a lot on a last minute idea so I purchased this manually-operate machine instead of the motorized one. As it turns out, it was the BEST little purchase I have ever made. It comes with three nice size ice bowls. Each ice block is big enough to make two good size treats. Don't remember the last time that I had a fresh snow cone for a treat. It really made our long weekend a little extra special.
The reason that I had to write a review was to confirm how great and easy this product is to use. I saw the one-star reviewer and I thought that was because you have to do one extra step that is not on the user manual, in order to make this machine works. That is to expose the "teeth" under the hand crank in order for it to grip the ice like the ice-climber shoes; otherwise, this product "will not work". The teeth are looking like...
Initially, I bought it just to get the ice molds...
A gem for the price
Just got this yesterday. Took their advice and used the supplied molds and not just plain ice cubes (will try that later). Made one helping of frozen milk and two of plain ice. This morning, I put the block of milk in the hopper and cranked out some BEAUTIFUL shaved (not crushed, not flaked, but beautifully shaved) ice milk. Topped it with some chocolate syrup and just enjoyed the heck out of it. I'm not sure why the other reviewer found it so hard to crank the unit. I'm 61 with mild arthritis in both hands and didn't have any problem. I don't know how much hard use this beauty will take but I figure for $18 I can afford to buy a new one every summer.
