Snow Cone Machine - Electric Block Ice Shaver and Snow Cone Maker with Adjustable Blades for Parties, Events, and More by Great Northern Popcorn

This thing is a BEAST! My kids, the neighborhood, and even parents love this thing! I will say it is a big unit, big enough to start a business! Well worth every penny! Very easy to use and easy to wipe down after use. Be prepared because when you get this shaved ice machine you will be busy making them daily. It is very sturdy and well built. You can adjust the blade to the exact type of ice you are looking for! Trust me, get this machine!

We got this for our kids (and lets be honest, the parents too), and it is a HUGE hit! It creates amazing shaved ice. It's light weight enough to take almost anywhere. We're still experimenting with how to keep the ice block from disintegrating while it spins, but I think it's more about our freezer or water than the machine. Once the syrup is added, it creates almost a creamy ice that is amazing. This is NOT a crushed ice machine. You could start a small business with this guy and take it to baseball fields and make a killing. The ice is a huge part of it, but it's the syrup that makes a great snow cone. From the ones we've tried, there's a company called Hawaiian Shaved Ice that sells amazing flavors that taste great. We realized you can dilute the syrup (half syrup half water) and still get amazing snow cones (plus it's less sugar for the littles). All this to say, the machine is awesome. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

We have just received this item, so we will update if our experience changes. But here is the initail impression: This is a solid built machine that puts out quality shaved ice. We are still trying to figure out the perfect blade setup, but so far it seems like less blade = better shaved ice. The machine can hold a good sized block of ice, I only took one picture with the tape measure, but the largest size of ice would be about 9 1/2" wide x 7" high. Our hardware store was cleared out of small buckets for making the ice blocks, so I purchased a pack of 5-Qt. Leaktite plastic paint pail liners for about $5. I was a little nervous about how thin they are, but they seem to work really well so far. Down the road me may purchase something more sturdy if these don't hold up. Overall we are very happy with the purchase. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional quality shave ice machine.

I came here to revise my comment in order to help anyone who wants to buy this machine. Do not believe the positive reviews! I was fooled by high rating that the machine had and the reviews, the machine is very low quality, you will be aware of this right away when you see it, the way it functions and the way it's assembled was a dead giveaway for me that it's not durable and it could malfunction at any time and after 3 uses it no longer spins the ice. Before breakdown I had further concerns: The central thing that is supposed to hold ice, one of it's pointy things was crooked after only one use, furthermore and the biggest concern the huge screw that holds the spinner was heavily greased and right in close proximity to the ice you're shaving very unhygienic and potentially dangerous, basically I threw away 200$ + transportation cost + taxes, I'm extremely sorry that I ordered this machine, Beware!

I purchased this and was very surprised at the quality and how well it works and that it wasn’t extremely expensive. I got it for us to have for birthday parties and my son rodeos so we do the concession stand and it’s a perfect lightweight and quiet machine that I can set up in less than three minutes.

Very strong. Makes nice fluffy ice. Somewhat big, Is about 37 pounds. Very sturdy and can make a large volume of ice. Good for large gatherings.

This machine makes great shaved ice and my kids and grandkids love it! I haven't figured out how to freeze the blocks and not have minor cracks in them, so you need to adjust the blade very slowly. If you raise the blade too quickly and aggressively into the ice, be careful not to shatter the ice block. I learned my lesson the hard way.

Came with a ton of grease on the device. Unsure what grease they used or whether it's food safe. Also, the plastic guard up front gives you a false sense of Security. I had a ice block that split and projectile launched past the plastic guard in front and missed my head by inches. Maybe it's user error, but this thing is pretty sketchy to use.

Llego en perfecto estado, solo falta estrenarla.

This shaved ice machine is a powerhouse. Built with solid, commercial-grade quality, it produces everything from fluffy Hawaiian-style ice to chunkier textures with ease. The adjustable blade allows perfect customization, and it’s simple to operate and clean. Yes, it’s big, but that’s because it’s built for serious use—ideal for parties, shops, or even starting a small business. It’s durable, reliable, and makes consistently amazing shaved ice every time. If you want the real deal, this is it. Worth every penny!

Great performance - can get great variation of shaved ice - from fine to chunky. And it seems ultra durable as well. It's definitely commercial grade! The one downside is that this thing is HUGE - it's probably meant for businesses rather than consumers. If you have limited counterspace or storage space, this is not for you. Last thing I want to mention, it's HUGE. There, I've done my duty for my fellow prospective purchasers.

Me encanta el hielo parece nieve hasta ahorita me ha funcionado muy bien
