Nostalgia Premium Snow Cone Party Kit, 3 Syrups, Blue Raspberry, Cherry, Cotton Candy, 20 Cups & Spoon Straws

I was a little concerned because some of the reviews mentioned texture and that the ice did not shave down that much, but I went ahead and bought it anyway. I already had a big shave from another company that makes the fluffy ice and that thing is a pain to use. The best thing about the Nostalgia one is that you use regular ice maker ice. You dont need a special mold like my other machine. I start out with crushed ice from my icemaker, I am not sure if this helps but I feel like it does. The texture is not like the fluffy ice, its more like those rainbow snow cones you get from the ice cream truck. And to fill it up like the picture would take opening it and filling it 15 times. Each time you fill it. I use a 16 oz glass of crushed ice and it maybe makes 3 snow cones. It doesnt hold much in the chopper part. I initially got it for an outside summer party. I have since used it almost every day. I have 5 kids and its been a hot summer so far. I like the look of it, I have just left it on the counter. I feel like the shelf is useless and the door feels like its going to snap when you open or close it but it works. When I am done, I scoop out most of the ice and just lay it on its side and let it drain into the sink and then I wipe it out. Very easy. Even if it only lasts the summer, I feel like I got my moneys worth out of it.

Got this for my niece for her birthday to add alongside her lemonade business and it truly made her entire birthday party. I agree with some other comments about the door being incredibly tight and annoying to open and close so hoping ours doesnt break as you do have to put some force into it. Overall, great gift. The only feature I wish this had was a little plug on the bottom to easily drain the water instead of having to tilt the entire machine to get any melted ice out. That and I would have paid more for a steel like element to keep the ice colder. Overall, I recommend to keep the ice in the cooler until ready to make and eat because it will melt pretty quick. However, to add onto a little girls CEO mentality, its pretty good! Love the retro vibes.

Was pleasantly surprised! Bought this for my 13yr niece and it isneasy to use. This little machine makes great snow cone ice. Yields quite a bit of shavings for a small amount of ice. We made sure to break up out ice bag and added smaller pieces. Made about 3 cups with 2 runs outside in warmer heat. Not loud, and quite efficient. Instructions were followed for 3 mins on 5 minutes off and had not problem. Very satisfying and definitely nostalgic. Would recommend.

This is a Christmas gift for my grandson. It took 3 tries to finally receive this item. I wrapped it when I finally received it. I was prepping the wrapped gifts for delivery when I realized that the package was wet. I opened the present to find that one of the bottles was not closed tightly and had leaked over the box and the wrapping. Not a lot of the product was lost but it was very disappointing that more care was not taken to be sure the kids were tightly closed prior to shipping.

Metal blades make it great for shaving ice!!!

Easy to use, but its all plastic so Im afraid of it breaking soon. A lot of time the ice doesnt shred like its supposed to. But I think its saving me a little money in the long run because my daughter loves her slushes.

Loved this machine worked with different sizes of ice and easy to use my 11 yr old granddaughter became an expert. The kids ans adults alike loved it

This machine is great but sometimes the ice gets stuck and the motor wont turn

Great product, easy to use, made a great gift!

It was easy to use but meant for children
