Snow Cone Shaved Ice Machine - Retro White

This was definitely worth the money! Bought it for my grand daughter's birthday party. It was easy to use and made the ice perfect for the sno cones. We used Kool-Aid to make the different syrups and it was a big hit with the kids. She's used it several times since and it still works good.

This is a really great product. I have house parties in the kids and adults love it

This little snowcone machine works great. I was a little skeptical, but I’ve used it twice now. I’m a traveling Activity Director and I’ve used it in nursing homes and each time it is worked perfectly. It crushes the ice easily and quickly. Would definitely recommend.

The media could not be loaded. Nostalgia Snow Cone Shaved Ice Machine is an ideal addition to summer activities. We've used this on numerous occasions this summer.It's not that large as you may think -- so picture is slightly misleading in term of the size. However, anything larger would have made it difficult to store in cabinet.Because ice is the only intake, the cleanup is very minimal. The snow storage has ample capacity to scoop up shaved ice using the provided scoop. I don't see any issues with leak.The machine is pretty straight forward to use, it's mostly plug and play.The motor/assembly/blade locking mechanism could have been better.Recommendations:* Let the ice cubes thaw for about a minute before you start using it. Otherwise, I've noticed them getting stuck.My complains:* The machine is very loud and noisy. You couldn't hear people talking in the room if the machine was also running.* I've noticed on number of occasions that the machine does not automatically turn on even after putting the lid on and twisting it properly. You have to fiddle with it couple of times. I am afraid the plastic cover/lock at the top may wear out over the time. If after ~4-6 week of light use I'm seeing this type of wear, I'm afraid it may not last next summer. I'm glad to have purchased extended warranty.

My grandson absolutely loves this. It really works great and you can make several snow cones at a time. It's so cute my daughter has it on the kitchen counter for show. One time we crushed a bunch of ice and he played with it like Snow for fun. He got it for his 8th b-day in March. He is using it now for summer snow cones to keep cool. I say it was a good buy.

Best item I bought for my niece she loves it

The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased the Nostalgia Snow Cone Maker in a delightful pink color for my kids' summer sale event. Our plan was to raise funds during the summer by offering various treats, and the snow cone maker was meant to be the star attraction. However, our excitement quickly turned into disappointment when we discovered that the machine was broken and completely non-functional.The package arrived in pristine condition, and upon opening it, everything seemed to be in place. The vibrant pink color of the snow cone maker was eye-catching and appealed to the children's playful spirit. We eagerly connected the machine, hoping to create refreshing snow cones for our customers, but to our dismay, it failed to work. No matter what troubleshooting steps we tried, the machine refused to function.This experience was incredibly disappointing, not just for me but especially for the kids who had invested their time and effort in organizing the summer sale event. Their enthusiasm to offer delicious snow cones was met with frustration and heartbreak. The excitement they had built up turned into disappointment as they realized their plans were ruined due to a faulty product.It is disheartening to see a brand-new product fail to meet even the basic functionality requirements. The Nostalgia Snow Cone Maker promised to be a fun and reliable addition to our event, but it fell short on all accounts. The fact that the machine arrived broken without any visible damage to the package suggests a manufacturing defect, which is even more frustrating.In addition to the disappointment and wasted time, this experience also posed a financial setback. We had invested money in purchasing the snow cone maker, and now we have to bear the additional cost of finding an alternative solution or potentially returning the product.I expected much more from a reputable brand like Nostalgia, and I am deeply disappointed by the lack of quality control and the inconvenience caused. I would strongly advise potential buyers to be cautious when considering the Nostalgia Snow Cone Maker. I hope that the company takes steps to rectify this issue and ensures that future customers do not have to face the same disappointment that my kids and I did.Overall, the broken Nostalgia Snow Cone Maker in pink color left us with a bitter taste. It failed to deliver on its promises, and the resulting disappointment was disheartening, especially for the children who had eagerly awaited its arrival.
