5.0 out of 5 stars Hubby Loves It
My husband is a huge snow cone junkie, so I surprised him with this. He loves it! He’s used it almost daily for the past 3 months and it’s held up great. It’s a hit with the kids too. Offers everything between crushed ice and soft fluffy snow (which is what he prefers and what led me to choose this one). Easy to use by simply pressing down, no louder than a blender or chopper, shaves the ice in less than a minute, and super easy cleanup since really all you need to do is let the parts dry. We just use the bowls included for our ice molds and shave it into our own dinner bowls for serving. This is a staple in our kitchen and I would highly recommend this to fellow snow cone lovers! Makes a great gift and fun to break out when company is over and makes good wine slushees too ;)
5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a kids treat, also best customer service experience in years!
After using this every day for about 5 months a part broke inside my unit. I sent an email to ask if I could just buy a part so I didn't have to purchase a new unit and to my dismay, they apologized and sent me a brand-new unit. There was no discussion of what I did to cause this to happen or anything else. I sent a copy of my purchase through Bolo and a picture of the sticker on the back and that's it. (Insert standing ovation) Major thanks to a truly amazing company. Now let me tell you why I use this pretty much every day.As far as the machine goes, it produces some of the best shaved ice/snow cones I have ever had. The last unit required a fair amount of strength as you had to push down on the ice & it was pretty loud. This new small black unit is so much easier to use. All you do is push a single button and it does the rest. Now there is a trick to getting your perfect serving.If you like true shaved ice, think eating fresh powdery snow, very soft and fluffy but melts somewhat quickly when you add syrup, 1st refrigerate your syrup so it's not as warm and 2nd use the ice disks right out of the freezer. This gives you a nice shave of the ice and it almost looks like white cotton.Now I happen to like more of a snow cone texture where I can chew on the small ice pieces. The trick here, let your ice disk warm up. Yup, as strange as it sounds take the disk out of your freezer and let it set for 10 to 20 min depending on how warm your room is. The disk will easily slip out of the mold and you will get a texture that is a lot more course than if you use it right out of the freezer.Both of these tips require you to use the white molds that are sold by Hawaiian shaved ice. Trust me, they are worth it. Yes you can use any ice cube your freezer makes but if you want to get your perfect snack get the disk's and experiment with how long you let them defrost before turning them into a fantastic snack.This last hack is only for people who eat a lot of these. Your snow cone is only as good as your water. If you don't drink what comes out of your tap don't use it to make ice. There can be a big difference in taste using purified water over tap.On a side note, this has replaced ice cream as my go to after dinner snack and I have lost about 20 lbs just eating shaved ice as a snack when I want something sweet. Red Cups make the perfect vessel to hold my favorite treat. ...and you can make them in advance. I just put a little plastic wrap over the top. They never last more than a few days in my freezer but I'm sure you could make some each day if you have a big party coming on the weekend.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works great
The machine works as advertised. It shaves the ice extremely fast and comes out like Atypical snowcone.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good shave quality
I did return this item because the cup compartment is too tight for the bowls I want to use
5.0 out of 5 stars Great when you get a machine that actually works!
My trip to Hawaii left me wanting true shave ice treats at home. The first machine I received appeared to have already been unpacked. It wouldn't unlock so I returned and ordered another. I really wanted my shave ice! The second machine is not a disappointment. It had a little bit of a learning curve but once you get the hang of it, it really is light and fluffy. Not like a traditional snow cone. I make one every day. It's that easy to use. Follow the instructions and you can't go wrong.
5.0 out of 5 stars Hot weather treats!
Tried this as it was on sale and the one we had for snow cones was very inconsistent as far as ice grind and super loud. Lucked out. Yeah it makes some noise but not bad. Even better it gives 2-3 different grinds of ice, one is like fine snow! Comes with containers to freeze ice for it. Pro tip fill only like 2/3 for freezing so it fits into the machine. Kids love it and most adults too. So many syrup flavors to get. Tigers Blood a fave it seems. Recommended. Might be a better one out there but cost great and it does what it should.
1.0 out of 5 stars Broke after first use
This machine completely stopped working after using it for the first time. Would not recommend this product
3.0 out of 5 stars Bad design and functionality
This is not a user friendly model. This was my first one, and will be my last from this company. For starters if you want to purchase from their website they charge over $15+ for shipping 4-5 days which is so much considering this machine is $99 already! Upon opening, it took a while to figure out how to take out the top part of the machine and put it back into place, instruction manual is unclear. You pretty much have to jam it down forcefully for it to click with the resistance from the spring its not easy to use, easy to clean but thats about it. As for the ice, its literally so thin and snowy, its perfect but the function of the machine is just not it! Its too over priced and takes at least 2 people to try to make it function when needed.
this works! makes great ice! Use your own syrups and toppings.
Went to Maui at Easter. Was craving Hawaiian Shaved ice and something tells me that with 150$ per night resort fee's on top of 5 different taxes and a loaf of bread 9$ US, it might be a while before I return SO did a little research and ordered this highly rated machine. Read about the unit on my phone's daily news then looked it up. At first the unit was $200. I waited for Bolo prime day. Unit was $260. Should have bought it right away. It took a while to get to me. Box was all beat up when it did. US ? Canada mail? It was not sent by courier. Unit worked so I didn't have to contact seller. Very happy with the product. It makes great ice. I use high quality syrups and love this unit. Many uses. You can not over fill the molds or freeze them at an angle or unit will not close properly and lock shut. It is plastic and suspect but so far has held up. Anyway I use it all the time. Twice a day for me. Kids and wife do some too but I am addicted to Hawaiian shaved ice now! My favourite is Monin's Passion Fruit syrup with a couple spoons of sweetened condensed milk. If I drank oh, the possibilities! Can also be used to make slushes and slurpee type ice. I hope the unit keeps working and does not break. It seems a little flimsy but so far so good. The motor is in the top of the unit and the ice goes in a cup compartment the blade is in the bottom and has a finger screw thickness adjustment. You can get very fine slivers of ice like a wood plane. It's pretty amazing. I'm endorsing it! If it breaks I will update the review but I can not tell a lie. It is really fun and a happy part of my day every day. So many different flavours!
