DASH Shaved Ice Maker and Slushie Machine (Aqua): Multi-Purpose Ice Shaver Machine for Homemade Shaved Ice, Snow Cones, Slushies, Cocktails & More with Stainless Steel Blades, Easy to Clean and Store

My daughter love this product.She used every weekend , very easy to do and very easy to clean up

Love this machine!!! I've had it a little over a year and have used it a lot.

Does not shave as fine as I would like.

Just wonderful for my protein shake

My three boys and I use this shaved ice machine DAILY. It can handle three fine, with the motorized parts just getting warm to the touch. After #4, though, it gets hot, and I wouldn't trust it for five or more of them at one time.That being said, what the machine spits out rivals our local shaved ice truck, and it has been a godsend for us during these back-to-back heatwaves in NorCal. I got different flavors of syrup to put on them, a much better selection than what's normally available on the truck.I would heartily recommend this shaved ice machine, it's a great bang for the buck, so to speak--but if you accidentally drop and break the lid, you're kind of screwed. The lid part still twists on and sort of locks, but the triangle part that pushes the lever in to actually start the machine, broke off. So now I have to hold the hanky lid with one hand and use a toothpick in the other, to push the lever in, because the Dash company says they don't sell replacement kids. AKA, to get a working life for my machine, I have to buy another whole machine. That sucks. So I'll keep on using the toothpick method, and warn everyone who buys one of these to be extra careful to not break the lid!

Product works great but it came cracked so was definitely a bummer would be a 5 star if it wasn't cracked

Okay so, first off, I will admit right up front that I hate the cutsey colors this thing comes in.But, that being said, I am also grudgingly impressed.I mean, it's an ice shaver. It shaves ice so.... what more can be said about that? Lol.Still, this little thing is a lot better than I expected it to be.First off, it's quieter than others I've had in years past. Is it whisper quiet? HECK NO!!!!I mean, it grinds ice against a piece of metal OF COURSE IT'S NOT QUIET!!!! lol.Still, the motor itself isn't nearly as loud as others I have had.I also have found that I really like this form factor over others. Shove a cup or bowl under the outlet, drop some ice in, twist the cap and you can go and get the syrups while it does it's thing. With some others I found myself having to hover so I could turn the container in order to ensure that it wouldn't just pile up all on one side.That isn't to say that it falls dead even of course-- I just find that the shavings having to drop that tiny amount of distance as well as the fact that you can put the container of your choice down so that the blade is closer to the center just makes it come out a little more even then other form factors.Finally, any parts that the ice touchs CAN ACTUALLY BE CLEANED!!!!!!!!!I have NEVER understood why some shavers make cleaning some parts almost impossible but this one comes almost completely apart so you can just drop it into a sink of hot and soapy water-- much more hygienic imho. After all, wet items can grow things we really don't want and can't even see.I will say that while I like the fact that the bade can be broken down so that it can fit into more places for storage but, it does kind of mean that I have picked it up in order to move it without thinking and foundmyself with only half the base a couple of times.That is NOT the fault of the unit though. After all, I can't be happy about it being able to break it down into pieces easily and then be mad at it for MY forgetting the fact that it easily breaks down into pieces. Lol.Anyway, it's a good little unit (cutsey color not withstanding) and much better than I expected it to be when I first hit the buy button.

My family has been enjoying the shaved ice this machine creates along with Torani fruit flavored syrups to keep us cool this summer! It doesn't make very fine powder like the Kona Ice machines do, but it's definitely good enough for us. It's finer than crushed ice for sure, so it's definitely worth every penny! The machine is small enough that we're taking it with us to the beach next week. I'm sure it would also be good for making frozen mixed drinks also, but I haven't tried it. I've meant to use it for frozen fruits also to make a sort of smoothie shaved ice combo... I'll update if this turns out good. It is so easy to use and clean and even stores smaller by the base coming apart and storing together. And it's a giant plus that it matches the color in our kitchen. :) I highly recommend this for the summer!
