Amazon.com Review
On hot summer days nothing beats a scoop of snow--to eat! This delightful Snowman churns out bowlfuls of shaved ice in just seconds. Kids can slurp flavored sno-cones for a birthday party and adults can sip frozen daiquiris for evenings on the deck. Two 4-inch round plastic molds with lids are included for freezing water, syrup-flavored water, or fruit juices. Simply place the frozen round (regular ice cubes will work, too, but not as well) in the blade unit, cover with the motorized top, and press down on the palm-size operating button. A bowl placed underneath (not included) catches the instant snow. For safety the sharp blade is completely internal and not accessible to fingers when the Snowman is operating. The machine measures 13 inches high when assembled, with an 8-inch-square base. A one-year warranty covers the Snowman against defects. --Ann Bieri

Love the Snowman Ice Shaver. Easy to work, easy to clean. Makes great snow cones. We keep it healthy with plain ice or frozen fruit juice - even works well with chocolate milk. Our son loves helping me make the snow cone and enjoys every last chilly bite. Great value.

This product performed as hoped. I would recommend using the ice molds that come with it -- you get a finer shaved ice than with regular ice cubes. Also, you don't have to buy over-priced syrups for it. Just get some frozen juice concentrate in a flavor you like -- it works fine. In Hawaii, they put the shaved ice & syrup over vanilla ice cream -- try it, it is really yummy that way.

I chose to purchase this based on the glowing reviews and let me say that I am thrilled with this product because it delivers consistent, shaved ice, just like you'd get at a shaved ice stand from a fancy, expensive machine.

The blade inside the ice holder is exposed and is sharp, so if you have it in your head to let the kids do this, I'd think again.

All you need is some ice (I use standard cubes out of an ice tray) and sno cone paper holders or small ramekins or use the two molds that come with this to hold your shaved ice. You also need some sno cone syrups. Target sells many different flavors during the summer. Hawaiian Shaved Ice sells every flavor imaginable through their website. You will also want some plastic spoons or straws.

This is quick to make. I can make a sno cone every 30-45 seconds or less and had about 8 people wanting one last weekend and was able to churn them out in a timely fashion.

You will not find an at-home machine that makes truer shaved ice. I adore mine and appreciate the reviewers that recommended it.

Very good electric shaved ice maker. Easy to use. Makes a small shaved ice cone in less than a minute. Shaves ice fairly soft with little effort. Probably the best you can get excluding large expensive commercial shaved ice makers. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family. Bought it from Amazon: $19.99 w/free shipping.

I bought this for fathers day so the kids and their daddy could enjoy it together. It takes way too long to get enough ice for one snowcone. The kids were very antsy waiting and so were we. You can only put a tiny bit of ice in the ice compartment too or it jams and wont shave ice at all. I thought with the overall number of stars this was given, the bad reviews could just be overlooked but I was wrong. We will be returning this item asap.
