Nostalgia - Retro Series Single Snow Cone Maker - Red

Although I am almost 50 I still enjoy cold treats. I decided to give this a try. My mom, husband, and I have been having a lot of fun with it. It can toss bits of fine ice over to either side but there's always a bit of a mess when in the kitchen:) We been using it for months now and I've not had a single issue with it. It seems to work much better when the hopper is full of ice than when it just has a couple of pieces. And it is plastic so don't go using it as though it's indestructible - - it's an inexpensive snow cone machine people not a high-end run all night until the booze runs out ice grinder!!

Originally purchased this for my kids as a fun summer treat, found out quickly that mom and dad enjoy it too. Only criticism is that the plastic holder for the cones doesn't work very well but this is easily fixed by pulling it out and using a standard cup instead. Also be advised that you have to purchase syrups separately.

I believe we bought this for $30 on sale. Reasonable price. Does what it says. I don't know why they couldn't put a second (or third or fourth) cone in the box. The cone holder is designed to tuck under the machine when not needed. This is a nice feature, but it doesn't seem to operate the way it should. It has to be removed and reinserted to change positions. And one of the tabs already broke.

It is much easier to use than the crank style snow cone maker. And it is safer because there aren't any exposed blades.

Bought this because we wanted traditional snow cones. It's retro, so cool "conversation piece". It's on the loud side, but works just like it's supposed to! Gave it a 4 just because of the noise.

My wife loves shaved ice. This darn thing, although loud, does the job. Has a little difficulty with large cubes but otherwise works fine.

Might be small, but actually works great! We wanted something to make a quick treat and this does the job very well. Very compact, so it doesn't take up much room on your counter at all. Easy to use and easy to clean. Great value for the price!

Our kids enjoyed using the Retro Snow Cone Maker and had no issues from start to finish. Glad that we bought it for them and even more than happy that we had no issues with it.
