This ice shaver looks pretty in red. Brings out the "happy" in any celebration or get together. The machine is easy to operate. When you feed the ice, a gentle push will activate the machine. It has a safety feature that when you open the ice feeder, machine automatically stops even when switch is turned on. It has a big shaved ice reservoir so you don't have to frequently open and empty it. It's a time saver. There are also 4 cone cup holders on both sides. Pretty handy. Ice scoop is round shaped to give the treat top a nice dome shape. It produces a nice, fine shaved ice, perfect for snow cone or Halo-halo snack! Noise can get as loud as you would expect solid ice to bang against plastic container. Price is affordable and reasonable. Hope this machine lasts.

I bought this item to replace an old Oster ice crusher which after 40 years finally broke. I love to eat ice. A few years ago I was going thru a lot of issues with my teeth due to the older I got (63) the more fragile my teeth got. My dentist suggested that I either stop crunching ice (which was not an option, due to how much I love eating it) or crush it so that was my gentle on my teeth). I took his suggestion and resolved the issue with getting my teeth cracked from this habit I have. When my old ice crusher broke I was devastated because they no longer make the Oster Ice Crusher. I searched and found this Cuisinart Snow Cone Maker and I ordered it. After using it, I love it more than the Oster Ice crusher that I had. If this machine lasts as long as my old one, then I am sure it will outlive me. I am sold on this machine and may just purchase a second one to have a backup in case the one I have dies before me. I recommend this machine 100%!
