Great children's gift.
Works very well, has an on and off feature which others don't. A little noisy, but normal.

Great Product but Noisy
This snow cone maker works well however, it is very noisy. If you are sensitive to loud sounds, this might not be the product for you. Otherwise, it works really well. This product works best with the long, thin type of ice cubes rather than traditional ones. When I used traditional ice cubes, it would get jammed. The longer pieces of ice slide right in and don’t clump together like their others. I love the nostalgic look of the old classic red snow cone machines and it has a convenient door on the side to make scooping the shaved ice easy. It comes with two reusable plastic snow cone cups but I purchased paper ones separately that fit nicely in the tray on the front, giving it an added nostalgic feel. It came with small bottles of flavored syrup that taste great! The only downside is the noise level when operating. Otherwise, it is a great product that is a lot of fun.

It does give that nice crunchy ice and it’s very easy to use.
Easy to use and the ice comes out exactly how you saw it in the pictures. The taste is whatever you make it doesn’t give any different taste other than what you make. It doesn’t have a smell, the speed and quality is good.

Nice size and price. Great for kids or beginners.
Love this little machine! It makes a nice shaved ice. My son wanted one for Christmas. It’s user friendly and a good size so it doesn’t take up too much counter space. It doesn’t come with any syrups so you will have to purchase them separately but this is definitely a good, affordable start and great for kids who want snow cones!

The Nostaglia RSM702 does indeed Cut/Grind up ICE into crystals!! Downside is cleanup, but is a minor issue.
I found comparing the various models available on the site a bit overwhelming, and ended up getting this "RSM702" in May 2017 mostly on it's seemingly small footprint and the excellent video another purchaser provided. May write a long/boring explanation later, but here are some of the highlights. ============================================================== DOES IT WORK: Yes! (RSM702 circa May 2017.. Cannot speak for past or future revisions) DOES IT MAKE FLUFFY SNOW: No, not really. It is thicker than snow you find blowing about in drifts, etc. WHAT DOES IT MAKE: Large-ish snow "crystals" like you might find on your windshield by the wipers. Thicker than "fluffy drift-snow". DOES IT TAKE "FREEZER" ICE CUBES: Yes. But you are supposed to "let them sit" a bit to "melt/soften" them first. HOW MANY CUBES CAN FIT INSIDE: Instructions say 4-5 but can hold more. I was using 6, but was still room for more in the bowl. HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO "CUT UP" THE ICE: Less than 30 seconds, but there is always some "ice residue" left behind. HOW DOES IT PROCESS ICE: There are 3 plastic "fins" in the bowl that spin and force the cubes over a small blade located in the front of the unit. This cuts the ice into little bits which fall down a hole near the blade and out the nozzle in the front. DOES IT HAVE AN ON/OFF SWITCH: No. You "turn the lid" to lock the lid in place which starts the plastic fins spinning. Unlock to turn off. IS THE "CONE HOLDER" REMOVABLE: Yes. It is held on by plastic pegs and comes "reversed" inside the bottom of the unit for shipping. You can leave it there if you want and just use a glass or something to hold the cones. Or use a bowl, etc. IS IT "LOUD": Depends on the person, but I would say yes. Inexpensive item = no sound insulation. DIMENSIONS: 7 3/4" depth; 7" width; 12" height. CORD LENGTH: About 31" not counting the plug. POWER: Varies. Says 30w on the unit. Kill-o-Watt showed it "peaked" at 27w as it began to grind into six cubes, but quickly dropped down to the mid-teens as the ice was processed away. If you let the blades spin while it's empty, the unit whirs along at 7.8 watts. WHAT IS IT MADE OF: Mostly plastic and phillips-head screws, along with the metal cutting blade of course. It has rubber suction cups on the bottom to "hold it" to a surface. Unfortunately the cups don't hold to the glass tray I am using, so will have to improvise. WHY IS CLEANUP A DOWNSIDE: There is a gap between the Plastic Fins and the surface of the bowl where the ice cubes sit. It is not a tight contact like between windshield wipers and a winshield, so a small amount of ice will always be left behind in the bowl since the fins cannot force all the crystals down the hole by the blade. Additionally some leftover ice may be found clumped inside the nozzle itself, but this can be knocked down with a sppon or something. The fins may also shoot bits-o-ice up between the lid and the top of the bowl, so there might be bit-o-ice clustered just under the lid. The trick is this - as this unit is All One Piece you cannot take it apart (without a screwdriver) so there will be bits-o-ice left inside the top of the unit after each use. Best way to cope with this is to place a bowl or something under the nozzle and let the remaining ice melt/drip it's way out. Once the ice residue has melted, you can dry what water is left in the bowl/lid area with a cloth/towel/etc. Just always be careful of where the blade is. The instructions say that there will be some water dripping out the nozzle after each use, and states "this is normal". Note: If you move the unit while water is still around the top, it could shift and drip inside the rest of the unit. So try to make sure the top area is dry before moving/tilting it. "Cleaning" is just moving a cloth around the fins and such. Unless you have at it with a screwdriver, looks like no way to clean the individual parts. Unrelated: There are some more expensive "all metal" units that appear to be able to grind up over a hundred pounds of ice without a care, and these have a blade which can be adjusted (screwdriver?) to allow thinner cuts and I guess, make "fluffy snow ice". These units are also All One Piece so cleaning is still just moving a cloth around. The all metal unit is also larger and I went with the RSM702 to save on countertop space. Finally I have just a regular freezer for making ice cubes, so unless I buy bags-and-bags of ice from a store, would never have over a hundred pounds of ice to process. I did process three groups of six-cubes-each to make a bowl full of ice, and all seemed well. I left another small bowl under the nozzle to catch the drips and came by later with a cloth after the ice residue had melted. Back Story: For two years I had been using a 2008-era Model X hand blender with chopper attachment to crush ice. I would stuff the chopper attachment with ice cubes and grind away. It would make "fluffy snow" ice but would also leave sizable pieces of ice untouched. Then the plastic gears in the chopper and blender itself started to fail, and finally died. Did some reading after the fact and learned that "can crush ice" translates in English to "can crush ice THAT HAS BEEN PRE-CRUSHED BY SOMETHING ELSE FIRST." So opted to get something that alleged to crush non-precrushed ice, and ended up getting the RSM702. Also ended up getting a low tech hand blender for simple mixing as the more sophisticated 2017-era models all have an annoying safety switch on top.

A Nice Way to Celebrate An Ordinary Day
This is a great device for instant fun with kids! If you purchase this machine, I am warning you to be sure your ice cubes are rather small or they will not grind. It took a short while for me to realize that the large ice cubes was why it seemed like the machine wasn't working at first. That is the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 stars. I wish I could put slightly larger ice cube chunks, for example if two cubes stick together, into the machine. When you purchase the paper cups and scoopy-straws to go with the machine, you'll be set to go! The commercial flavoring have some undesirable ingredients, but you can use frozen fruit juice concentrates or all fruit concentrated juices. We have used both. The commercial artificially flavored syrups to come in lots of flavors and they are bright colors. The white cup holder-stands that come with the machine are very nice too. My granddaughter just told me to say the following: "When you use the stands, it is the only way you can set it (the snow cone) down for a minute."

Ordered two by mistake. Neither worked! Both did the same thing - plugged in, went pop then didn’t do anything else. You also need a US adaptor plug and to add insult to injury they are a complete nightmare to return!! Don’t buy!
