Hamilton Beach Icy Treats Maker - 68050 product details page

I purchased this machine for our office barbeque. We have 35 people in our office and everyone wanted a snow cone. I was able to use this machine easily, without any ice jams. i did shake the ice around a bit each time I added new ice just to be sure that it would flow freely. This machine works great I am going to purchase one for home now!

We love this machine!. We use it everyday. We constantly try to create something new and different. Yes, it is noisy but it is shaving ice so I expect nothing quiet. The machine is not noisy the process is noisy. It is easy to clean and get ready for the next treat. When we wear this one out we are getting another one.

We think this is agreat product. I need shaved ice as part of my medical treatment. This works out great to refresh my mouth without drinking many glasses of water. Thank you for offering such a good product.

I love this machine it makes Margarita Mondays so easy! But I'm on my fourth one! After about two months of almost daily use for crushed ice for a variety of drinks and snow cones it breaks almost two months to the day exactly everytime. Cost too much to keep putting out money for something that breaks so easily but if they put out a new and improved tougher version I'm game.

I bought this after reading reviews on it. We used it for my daughters birthday party and it worked wonderful and everyone (including adults) LOVED it!!! Everyone wanted to go out and buy one the next day. When I tried it the first time, it didn't shave well, but then I adjusted the ice cubes and it worked very well. With larger ice cubes, you have to keep adjusting them as they get stuck and it causes it to spin and not shave the ice. The bagged cubed ice works the best with this machine, as t he ice cubes out of my freezer were too large. I made flavoring with a packet of unsweetend kool aid, 1 1/2 cups of sugar and 8 oz of water, and they were perfect!!
