Hawaiian Shaved Ice Machine Kit - 3 Flavors, 25 Cups, Straws, Pourers, Ice Molds

Makes amazing snow cones!!! flavors are great too

first purchase was in july 2013 for my granddaughter, big hit! then three more at Christmastime, one for me, one for a girlfriend's daughter, and a fourth for some friend's teenage boys. hits all the way around. i love shaved ice, with or without syrup. hawaiian ice sells replacement blades on their website: i have not found them offered for sale anywhere else, and wanted to, because their shipping is exorbitant, so high they should be embarrassed, but their ice shaver is awesome. january 20 2014 update: i got replacement blades (they are not thin like a razor blade, but a thickish piece of metal that tapers to an edge) to have on hand to use in the future, and extra cups to freeze the discs, which, btw, come three to an order. i ordered three and received nine, so that was a pleasant surprise. :) a comment about the leftover ice that cannot be shaved when the frozen disc of ice is used in the machine, a 3" diameter disc of ice that is about 1/4 inch thick. i have read complaints about this being a wasted chunk of ice, but i keep them, put the remaining piece of the disc in the freezer in a bag, and use them to cool down drinks that are in large cups, or to cool down brewed tea for iced tea. i consider having the leftover discs a bonus! i buy snow cone concentrate from Ralph's SnoBall Supply and make cavity/bacteria killing snow cone syrups with xylitol granules, a sugar alcohol sweetener, so every snow cone is a treatment for my teeth. you can even buy some of the concentrates that are clear, eliminating dye, but there are still the preservatives. they also sell syrups pre-made with cane sugar and charge reasonable prices for them, but i buy the concentrates to be able to use different sweeteners. xylitol is also diabetic friendly, and it doesn't taste fake, just good, and i usually HATE artificial sweeteners. i made some syrups with cane sugar this weekend for my grandkids to take home, or you can use stevia or whatever floats your boat. i am not using the xylitol to save on calories, but it does that as well. each 4-ounce bottle of sample concentrate yields a gallon of syrup. i make my syrups about a cup at a time. they are awesome tasting and making them with xylitol keeps cavity-causing bacteria out of my mouth. so fast, so easy, so cost-effective, so good. :)

High quality. My daughter loves it

Overall, this is a very good shaved ice machine and perfect for making cool treats at home. It's easy to use and provides a lot of fun, especially for kids. The only downside is that sometimes the blade doesn't grind the ice as well or as finely as I would like. Despite that minor issue, it's a solid machine and I recommend it.

This product is well worth the advertised price!! I am so glad I purchased it!! Now Let me tell you about this product. As you take the Ice Maker out of the box, you'll have to snap the two adjoining parts together, it's easy breezy! 1,2,3!! There is some work involved as you put the harden ice into the round center of the 🫙. You have to push down on the "ON" pad then hold the top part of the ice maker, it contains the motor, hold into the top part with some slight pressure as you push down onto the ice mold. Hold firmly as your pushing downward, stop when the top touches the bottom half. As the ice is shaved ,the motor will vibrate in your hands. But it's cold wet messy fun!!! Believe me, you'll soon be a PRO at shaving ice molds!!..ha ha...the grandkids love it! Arizona Summer time calls for lots of shaved ice fmsnow cones. This product comes with 3 bottles of flavors(Cherry, Blue Raspberry, Grape) along with a pack of colorful plastic straws and snow cone cups, 2 ice molds This is an ideal gift for family or friends. It's sells at a great price. Don't fall for the name brand crap that are sold at very high prices!! I'm satisfied with my Hawaiian Shaved Ice Maker. Plus FREE overnight Amazon delivery! My grandkids love being able to eat snow cones when it's 116+ degrees outside!!! Get yourselves an Hawaiian Shaved Ice Maker! It's an excellent product,that easy to use. And will be enjoyed several times over by yourself and your children/Grandkids.

I've spent quite some time looking online for a good snow cone machine. I wanted a snow cone machine that just works and provides fine shaved ice quality that actually absorbs the flavors. After looking through the mixed reviews of several options found on Amazon, I decided to just go with this option and hope for the best. Fortunately, this snow cone machine works well and is exactly what I was looking for. Operating the machine is simple - load ice into the machine, put the lid on and firmly press down to get shaved ice. Inside the machine is just a single blade at the bottom with a narrow slit for the shaved ice to fall through. Inside the lid is a metal plate that spins whenever you press the button on top of the lid. This metal plate is supposed to spin the ice inside the machine while you apply pressure down on the ice so that the blade can shave it thus giving you a snow cone. This package comes with 2 ice molds to create ice that looks like hockey pucks, which works the best in getting very fine snow-flake-textured ice. I was also able to use regular ice chunks like the ones you get from a bag of ice, but the hockey pucks work the best. One hockey puck of ice can probably make at least 6 snow cones. However, the moon-shaped ice cubes from my refrigerator do not work well since they just spin around while completely avoiding the blade. The blade is very sharp, but the machine is safe since the lid completely covers the ice-shaving action. The ice is so fine that some of it melts as soon as you pour on the flavored syrups. I recommend compacting the shaved ice with a straw or spoon before adding the syrup. Since the ice is so fine, it is perfect for absorbing the flavored syrup and makes for a tasty and refreshing snow cone. After familiarizing myself with the machine, I was able to fill up a snow cone cup and a little over the top in less than a minute. My favorite flavor by far is grape, but the cherry and blue raspberry flavors are good too.

Se raspa el hielo con facilidad y es seguro de usar. Los jarabes saben muy rico.

I bought this to have something cool on a hot day. Unfortunately, I was only able to use it for two weeks. My kids "borrowed" it and still have it. I know that I will get it back someday, probably when they run out of syrup.

Buen producto, muy fácil de usar, lo único malo es que los líquidos no los dejaron pasar en aduana, y se los tuvieron que quitar, creo que debería especificar o no incluir los líquidos

My grandkids love this little machine. I bought for my grandsons bday party and plan to use it at my granddaughters bday coming up. This is the easiest machine to set up and works great. Fast fun treat. We use lots of stuff to flavor the ise so there isn't a lot of sugar but sometimes for a treat they have the sugar stuff. Lots of smile and fun worth the price.

Easy(ish) to use and enjoyed by all ages.
