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

Rating: - Great Simple Affordable Ice Shaver
Pros:
-Ease of use. Just place the ice and press the top. Tip: Do not press too hard and press on the side where the blade of the shaver is.
-Cleaning is easy. It is just water, so you actually just need to rinse it. I do not know if the blade rust, but make sure it is dry before you put it back to the shelf.
Cons:
-You can not use the ice cubes from your refrigerator which is the most convenient source. You have to use the supplied ice container, fill it with water and freeze it first. Make sure you do not lose them for they are the perfect ice shape, it even ... Read More
Rating: - WORKED JUST FINE
Easy to take apart & put back together. This little gem performed exactly as expected, the price was excellent and best of all it arrived in time for the party.
Rating: - Excellent product.
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.
Rating: - Good product
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.
Rating: - Oh Yeah! Now I can really make my own!
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 ... Read More
