VEVOR 110V Commercial Ice Shaver Crusher 441LBS/H with 11LBS Hopper, 300W Tabletop Electric Snow Cone Maker 320 RPM Rotate Speed Perfect For Parties Events Snack Bar

Small -- approximately 12-inches by 12 by 12 -- and makes ice cylinders quickly. Relatively quiet. Some reviewers report that the ice melts quickly, which is true because the ice is tubular. The tubular shape offers the liquid a large surface area to allow the liquid to cool quickly. Ice in a cube form has less surface area than a tube, so a cube melts slowly. That's not a criticism of the product but statement of basic physics.We've used this ice maker for a month on a kitchen counter and it's worked without flaw. A friend uses the same device at the Burning Man event, and it too has worked without missing a beat. If this can survive playa dust it can survive anything.

This little ice machine is awesome! I bought it for my husbands grill station. He has a bar inside his grill area and it works great. We also used it for our Christmas party, never ran out of ice. It's the good chewing ice as well.

I hope this review helps my fellow ice chewers...I prefer my ice to be "crunchy" or "crispy." You know what I mean... that perfect level of slightly melted that still gives you a satisfyingly crunch, yet is softer and less damaging on your teeth. I usually crush my ice into a sort of thick slush, but I was getting sick of this extra step so I started looking into countertop ice makers. I like the ice at Sonic, so I thought a nugget style maker would be perfect. Unfortunately, I don't like the ice this produces. It is small and soft, but when you bite into it there is no crunch at all. Instead, the nugget is very melty and full of water, so when you bite down it just compresses into a more compact piece. Since I'm not getting the "fix" that my ice chewing compulsion needs, I can't justify keeping something this expensive or that takes up so much counter space. Sadly, I'm returning and going back to my old trusty mallet method of crushing ice.I also tried putting a batch of freshly made ice nuggets into my freezer, but since it's so water logged, it just froze into one giant chunk. So if you were hosting a large gathering or wanted to make batches ahead of time, this will not work.On the positive side, it was easy to operate and works quickly. It's quiet, and the design is sleek and looks nice amongst my other appliances. But it does take up a decent amount of counter space, and it's tall, so it looks big in my small kitchen.

Easy setup. Simple to use. Works quickly. Take 1-2 ice cycles for it to get really really cold.. but works great! Smaller than I thought but thats great since have limited counter space. Perfect little machine!

I had one of a similar design that worked very good while it lasted. It failed after about 1 1/2 years. This one was half the price and is quieter. With such a low price and nice features, I bought another. Hopefully I will not need it for a few years.

This is one of my best investments I just it all the time only downside is ice has to be transferred to a freezer or ice will melt but I certainly love it

We bought this machine to replace our previous ice machine. The first machine made bullet ice cubes. I wanted a different process for the machine to make ice for this one. The bullet process failed. The plastic broke down where the gear turned. I tried to fixed it with no luck. Figuring that would happen again, I upgraded. This machine also hooks up directly to the sink. No more filling!

Has 2 settings, small and large ice. The large cubes last a lot longer then the small, and does so quickly. Only makes 9 at a time so good for one or two people but probably not a big family.Really easy to figure out how to use it, easy to move and if you have to buy bags of ice you'll get your money out of it quickly. A bit loud but works really well especially for the price.
