Bought this item before reading reviews. It took about 4 min. But it produced enough ice for 2 snow cones.However, I am going to try my food processor with the coleslaw blade.Hamilton Beach 68055 Ice Shaver, Black

Boy was I dissapointed in this "dedicated" machine. I've been making snow cones using my food processor with the cole salw disc and it turns out that it does as good as or better than this thing. My blender makes much better shushies than this one. You would think that a devise that is intended for one thng only could do it well. Turns out that you probably already have something that will do it as well or better. Mine is ging back!!

I purchased this item along with the snow cones cups and three syrup flavors. I had four kids waiting for snow cones. I read the manual, which was straightforward, placed ice in the chamber and turned it to snow cone. It spun around and around and around but it did not shave the ice. The troubleshooting section of the manual suggested reconfiguring the ice. So I moved the cubes around and went for round 2. It sill wouldn't shave the ice. I tried three different style cubes - the ones made by my fridge (crescent), cubed ice (from ice cube trays) and bagged ice (hollow pellets). None of the ice would shave.Only then did I read the reviews on Amazon to discover that this was design issue which most other people had experienced.Long story short - no snow cones and four disappointed kids.Do not, I repeat, do not buy this product. It would be better to take the $20, buy 100 razors, and sit the shave the ice by hand.

Worst Hamilton Beach product thus far, and that says a lot. This machine is completely incapable of shaving your typical half-circle ice cube. And with crushed as (as from a blender) it gets stuck.

You can't beat it for the price. I like that you can put the ice in it and walk away while it grinds. If you have very large cubes though, you will have difficulty.
