    It took us some time to figure out how to properly use this!!!! Take your block of ice out at least 30 minutes before you are ready to shave and let it sit. Make sure you have a smooth even block! We had to buy an ice pick to help us chisel the block before putting it in the machine. The machine will only shake if your ice is too frozen or not perfectly even. It’s a learning curve, but is worth it in the long run. We made our money back in a day of selling snowcones!!!

    DO NOT BUY THIS. The top plate that is supposed to keep the ice block with a screw type mechanism in place, has spikes for the ice to grip into. The problem is, that you can’t really it get into the ice block without cracking it, which leads to shattering of the ice block, IF you even can get it in. This is a dangerous situation, because it will come off center, when not anchored into the spikes/plate and come flying out of the machine while in use. Again, dangerous situation. Contacted customer service about it, but since we didn’t use the machine for an event that was past the return window, they won’t do anything. So basically money down the drain. It doesn’t come with an ice block mold, so you need to buy Cambros for that, which itself isn’t a big deal, just FYI if you’re still considering buying it. Again, don’t buy it.

    This machine shakes and doesn’t shave consistently. I’ve worked with many units over the years and this one by far has been the worst, not to mention it is made with flimsy plastic. You get what you pay for.

Frequently AskedQuestions

Ice can get clogged or crack if it's too cold or frozen too quickly. If the ice is too cold, it can cause moisture to freeze and jam the machine. Additionally, ice blocks that are frozen too quickly may develop hairline cracks that compromise their integrity. For better ice, first, boil the water to remove any excess gases, then let it cool slightly. Next, pour warm water into the mold without the lid. Avoid freezing at the coldest temperature; a slower freeze is best. Before using the ice, temper it to room temperature for at least 20 minutes.
