Hawaiian Shaved Ice S900A Snow Cone and Shaved Ice Machine with 2 Reusable Plastic Ice Mold Cups, Non-slip Mat, Instruction Manual, 1-year Manufacturer’s Warranty, 120V, White

This makes perfect shaved ice. It is incredibly easy to clean. Very simple to use. The only con is that it is loud. Then again it only takes ten seconds so the sound doesn’t last long. Not something for kids to use as it takes a little strength management and the blade is sharpe. Kids will love to flavor the ice and eat it tho! Really one of my favorites!

I absolutely love this! I have used it every day this summer and it is still shaving ice as though it was brand new. It’s easy to use and has become a favorite for the grandchildren

I bought this as a gift for my son for Christmas, and he loves it! We use the shaved ice machine every summer, and it is a super fun and easy sweet treat. it makes fluffy shaved ice really fast, and it is always a crowd pleaser. It is made out of a nice and hard plastic with a metal blade that shaves the ice. The only thing to keep in mind is that this machine is rather loud. I would definitely recommend buying this if you haven't already, and if you are looking for a fun and easy way to make shaved ice at home.

Honestly, the shaved ice quality that this outputs is perhaps some of the best you'll find anywhere. Don't hesitate to buy this. It is well worth it even as a small tabletop device. And yes, the syrups are absolutely delicious too. (Regular use almost 3 years now and not a single issue)

A little loud, but otherwise the shaved ice is perfect. Happy with this purchase.

I use this ice shaver every day, and it definitely has some pros and cons. I'll do the cons first, because they're what I always want to know when I read a review. (Btw, I use this machine to make ice for my drinks in order to avoid breaking my teeth by chewing on ice. Keep that in mind when considering how the ice will react to flavored syrup). CONS: * If you use the ice in a drink within 24 hours, expect it to quickly melt. It needs about 24 hours in a freezer for it to compact enough to not melt right away. * The machine does NOT shave ice cubes well. Even though they fit in the container and the instructions say you can, it takes forever for the machine to shave them. You really have to use ice made in the circular containers they give you --- if you do, it shaves the ice fairly quickly. * You have to push down on the power button as you shave the ice. This bothers me, since I'm afraid it's going to cause the motor to wear out quicker. I'd much rather there be a switch. * The machine is in two pieces, and the top only connects to the bottom by a fairly thin piece of plastic. Since you have to exert a lot of pressure on the top in order to power the machine and shave the ice, I'm afraid it is going to break one day (though three months later, it's still going strong). I try to take care of it by supporting the underside of the top with my fingers and only using my thumbs to exert downward force on the machine. * The no-slip pad is pretty useless. It curls quickly and doesn't stay stuck to the machine. * The machine leaves 1/4" thick disc of ice at the bottom every time it shaves. I guess it can't reach all the way down. Not sure why it's manufactured that way, but it seems a big waste to me. * After three months of daily use, the machine seems to be having a harder time cutting ice --- almost as if the ice were slipping past the blade. However, as far as I can tell, the mechanism inside is still tight and the blade is still sharp, so I'm not sure why that would be the case. PROS: * Shaving the ice right after removing it from the circular container results in small crystal pieces, while letting it melt a little results in long flakes. * If you use the circular containers to make ice, the machine is fairly quick to shave it (within about 20 seconds depending on how much you let the ice melt). * It is less noisy than some other machines, though it still makes a loud whirring sound when you're shaving the ice. * After three months of use, it's still going strong. After trying the machine out, I debated whether or not to return it. I ended up keeping it, mostly because I didn't really see a better option for the price. It works for me as long as I let the ice sit for 24 hours (I rotate two bags --- one "old" ice for eating and one "freshly shaved" for sitting) so it's frozen enough to not immediately melt. Not sure if I would order it again. I'm still waiting to see if it lasts out the year.

Bowl of shaved ice in less than a minute! Its loud but not as loud as the other brands that use ice cubes. Ice is almost that snow texture, I’ll try to adjust the blade height next time to get that real snow fluffy texture but out of thw box, it’s perfect. Lets see if this will last for more than 2 weeks. Why 2 weeks? Because thats just how long the other brand lasted then stopped giving ice

Works great, kids and I have been using this several times a week since it arrived.

Simple operating machines and gives uniform and fine shaved ice to enjoy varieties of desserts

when I ordered this I was very nervous because my wife was asking for a different chewable ice maker and I had to convince her before buying this. Once we received it and just after the first use she fell in love with this ice shaver. It works amazingly easy and the shaved ice is much better than what my wife was looking for. By the way, we tried and noticed that almost any shape of ice as long as it fits inside the barrel can be used. You do not necessarily need to use its own provided ice molds.

It looks like a used product

This has been great and with a little practice you can get the consistency just right for shaved ice. Too much pressure and it comes out more like sno cone. Has been great for summer treats.

This product has been great to use, but its lacking a quality feel for the price paid. One of the things thats frustrating with it, is the fact of how you crush/shave the ice, you have to lift the top off and push it down onto the ice, but it is poorly designed and unable to actually finish crushing/shaving the ice fully.
