Pros: This product is loved by the entire family
Cons: Cheaply made.

I am a new Gastric Bypass patient. Pre-Op I was looking for something that would curb my sweet cravings. Post-op, I find the snow cone ice easier for me to digest than drinking beverages. I am able to consume more liquid throughout the course of the day. ...

I have come a long way from my snoopy snow cone maker that I had when I was a child where I had to crank that handle as fast as I could to get enough shaved ice out before it melted and I was left with a glass of cold water. The Rival Snow Cone Maker ...

Pros: It is easy to operate, fun for kids and adults, and inexpensive.
Cons: A sharp blade inside and it is a little messy.

I absolutely love my Rival Snow Cone Machine. It is so easy to use, my 10 year old daughter has stopped using her hand-operated snow cone maker, and started using my Rival. It is a fun thing to do with kids ... especially on a hot summer day ... but...

Pros: easy to use, consistent shavings
Cons: noisy, must dry after using

I am a long-time eater of ice. Unfortunately all the ice makers I grew up with produced large cubes. This did not stop me, but I had to continually suck on them, spit them into a cup, and repeat the process until it was small enough to chew up. ...

Pros: Simple & easy to operate
Cons: Your little ones will keep you hopping for more ice

I bought this as an impulse item at Target a couple of years ago(I have 6 grandkids)& just love it. I found it so easy to use I just let the grandkids do it themselves. I recommend that you have an icemaker or a good source of ice as the kids will use...

We have faithfully dusted off our Rival Snow Cone Maker every summer for the past four years. It has become a tradition in our home during the summer months it is a fun and easy-to-use appliance your children will enjoy. It is so simple, ...

Pros: Versatile-can make just about any frozen drink individually!
Cons: Can drip water as ice melts-nothing a paper towel can't fix.

This little machine is great. I heard about it from a friend at work and have been spreading the word ever since.Not only does this machine give my niece and nephew the thrill of a lifetime when they visit in the summer, but it also soothes the adults at bedtime. This is by far the easiest and most convenient way to enjoy frozen drinks.With a blender it is very hard to make a good Margarita or Pina Colada-they tend to get watery and the ice crushing button can burn out your motor. This machine produces the perfect ice for frozen drinks, whether they are pre-mixed or not.The best part is you don't have to make a whole blender full-you can make one at a time and customize!The only con to that may be time, but it's worth it.This is also great to make fresh juice into a special summertime treat for kids-they don't care if it's good for them because it's so COOL to make at home.They are inexpensive,versatile and worth every penny.Try it!

Pros: Easy to use, works great - better than any other I've tried
Cons: Very loud; drippy if you don't empty unused ice cubes

Being the grandmother of a 10 year old girl, and that 10 year old being a typical 10 year old and loving snow cones, we have tried many snow cone machines.

None of them were any good.

Then we found this one.

It is without a doubt the best snow cone maker we've ever tried. We love it. It's easy to use and makes fluffy wonderful snow cones. We have had many good times eating snow cones from this machine.

Pros: Cheaper than buying snow cones, easy to use, affordable.
Cons: Can only put few cubes in at time, noisy.

My husband is addicted to snow cones. They got costly so we decided to buy one of these and our own flavored syrup. It works well for what we paid, but could be improved a little. It is noisy, drips a lot of water after finished using (put a paper towel down) and can get ice jammed if you put too many ice cubes in at one time. Therefore, you can only put about 2-3 cubes in at a time to avoid a jam. If it jams, it make an annoying noise and can only be stopped by unplugging it.
