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

 Margaritas anyone? November 16, 2008
This Ice Shaver is the best thing thats ever happened to us when it comes to making Margaritas. This thing grinds ice for the rim of the cup very easy, the only work you have to do is push down. Now, I used to grind and push down so it was a lot of work but now, pushing down is all. Highly recommended for the price
Just as good as the ones at the fair! October 28, 2008
My wife and I just had the shaved ice snow cones at the local fair and wanted a machine to make our own at home. We purchased this unit from amazon and bought quality syrups from hawaiian shaved ice. We are very pleased and quite surprised the cones are just as good as the fair ones. Sure, the ice does shrink some when you add the syrup...but isn't that the best part...like the bottom half of the snow cone at the fair.
 Nothing special October 20, 2008
It is acceptable - nothing special. Takes about a minute for one serving, but when you add the syrup the volume of the ice decreases by half (unlike shave ice you buy from a vendor). I think I would have preferred a hand crank shave ice machine so I can control the speed. Acceptable for the money - good for kids, not for hosting a party.
Great Ice Shaver! October 18, 2008
This little machine kicks out a lot of shaved ice, and does so quickly. It exceeded my expectations. Buy good syrups from the coffee aisle (not the cheap snowcone kid's syrups), and you'll become a snow cone addict like myself using this machine. I was putting this HB Snowman through strenuous use making several treats a day for a couple of months. Thankfully, one night after having salmon for dinner and three huge snow cones, I ended up in the fetal position on my bathroom floor. I'm a recovering addict now, and only have one on the rare occasion since then.
Anyway, the only thing I could possible complain about with this Snowman, is that if you fill your ice container too full, you'll have to shift the top of the machine around before it will catch the starting mechanism. Does that make sense? Probably not, but you'll see. Just don't think it's broken when you press down on your thick block of ice and nothing happens.
I would recommend this machine to my mother, except that in my case, I would feel like I was offering her a bit of heroin.

The ice shaver is easy to use, but my wife wanted the machine and she finds it too labor intensive.
Also, I just received another machine which I did not order and was billed for on my account. I would like to return this machine and receive a credit on my account.
Thanks, Chuck
