Nostalgia Snow Cone Shaved Ice Machine - Retro Cart Slushie Machine Makes 48 Icy Treats - Includes Metal Scoop, Storage Compartment, Wheels for Easy Mobility - White, Blue

Works great! We use it for big events and it handles the crowds well- over 400 people in two hours.

I ordered this for a children's event and was very excited when it arrived. Unfortunately, I tried putting it together but got stuck on step 3 for almost 45 minutes! Right when I thought I was just useless, I realized the piece had been welded backwards and it wasn't my ineptitude...but a mistake with the provided pieces. Even though I purchased through amazon, I decided to reach out to the company. The young lady that answered the phone went above and beyond to try to help solve the problem (unfortunately they did not have the part). However, she assisted with getting me in touch with Amazon so that I could exchange the machine for another one. The new one arrived and worked like a dream! It is able to shave the ice quickly. It only took a few minutes to have the machine almost a third of the way full! Clean up was very simple and the storage bin is nice!

Once assembled, it's a little bit larger than I thought it was going to be however, I wouldn't change a thing. It is easy to use fairly quiet and easy to clean. It is definitely meant for adults to use not children because of the blades inside of the top used to shave the ice. It was a hit in the summertime at all of the parties. It comes with some flavor bottles, and it brought me back to my childhood with great taste to the snow cone.

I bought this snow cone machine to enjoy the Easter holiday with kids. When the technician has set it up the machine wouldn't grind the ice. It wasn't even spinning. I contacted Amazon and was offered free return. Then the DHL agent in My island St. Vincent and the Grenadines said they were not informed of any such return by Amazon. This is such a headache because I spent quite a few hundred dollars between buying the item, shipping it to the Caribbean and clearing it from customs. All this for nothing because the machine isn't working. the technician then attempted to check if something was wrong and when he opened the big blue part where the motor is it was broken and still had wet glue. This is just wickedness and they are not even offering me a refund, but rather I must return it before they can determine how much of a refund I get. This is the worst experience I have had from Amazon. Just please give me my money back or a replacement of the item. Shipping to the states from the Caribbean is hard and expensive. Please Amazon or Nostalgia, you collected my money and all I have is damaged product. Please give me my money back. I'm begging you.

This is a very cute retro-looking item, and it does a great job creating lots of shaved ice. It appears to be sturdy and well built, and was fairly simple to assemble. My 8 year old granddaughters REALLY wanted it, so I got it for their birthday. It does not come with any syrups or accessories, which must be purchased separately. Even though on the surface, it appears as if this is a good gift for a child, it really is not. The blade in the ice reservoir is basically a razor blade, and would easily cut you if you're not careful, and of course, it is electric, so must be plugged into an electrical outlet. It is great, as long as its operation and maintenance is left to responsible adults. The other negative is that if you have any leftover ice shavings, it is kind of a pain to remove them from the box. The easiest way was to remove the upper section from the cart, and dump the excess ice and water into the sink. This item is better suited for making lots of snow cones, like for a kid's party, and not so much for a one-off snow cone. Too much work for only one or two. That said, it does what it is supposed to do, and does it well. As long as you understand it's limitations and precautions.

This Snow Cone machine is fantastic. Quality materials, sturdy, and easy to move around with the wheels. It has a cabinet for storing cups, syrup, and the scoop, and a bracket for holding cups as well. The shaved ice it makes is high quality and makes delicious snow cones. It’s also safe and easy to use - my 11 year old granddaughter can use it without any problems or concerns. She loves making snow cones for her friends. Lots of fun!

The media could not be loaded. It works just fine! It’s loud but when shaving ice down what can you expect? The kids love it paid a professional to assemble took him 20 minutes.

We just received this sno cone machine to add to our popcorn and cotton candy machine line up.Grandkids love our toys!Not sure what I was expecting but this is a very high quality machine.Assembly was easy for one person. Instructions are clear and easy to follow.We found that bagged ice makes a finer shaved ice than our freezer ice. I googled and found recipes to make your own syrups at a fraction of the cost of premade syrups.Machine is very sturdy and easy to use. The large wheels make it easy to move around.Highly recommend this machine.
