Mickey looks great on the counter but will not produce for a family of 4 or more
The Disney Ice Shaver Snow Cone machine is Cheap Cheap Cheap. I purchased for several reasons:
1. I liked the style.
2. I liked the color.
3. I wanted something cheap to try out before I spent big money on a 'real' snow cone machine
First impressions...
Opening the box, I found that everything was well packaged in formed Styrofoam. The accessories fit into their locations well and are essential to complete the look of 'Mickey'.
The fit and style of this unit are pretty good for a completely plastic appliance. Mickey is light and looks good on the counter with the red/white accents (including the bright red cord - nice touch). This machine is pretty small and compact and can be put in an area 9" x 7" on the counter. I put him in the corner of my island for easy reach since we have snow cones everyday.
Accessories:
1. Snow Cone Cup Holder
2. Two flavor/syrup containers
3. Snow cone shaping...
Cute but loud
I thought i would get this for my daughter because it uses regular ice cubes and you dont have to freeze the normal containers. Boy is this thing loud, and if your ice cubes are too big you have to try and shake this thing to get them going in the track. I used just regular ice trays too. For people that like Mickey Mouse i am sure they would like it. I will try and find something smaller that just shaves some ice..
Not built sturdy enough
We got this for our son. On the first attempt to use it, it stopped working after making one ice. The chamber that spins the ice over the blade stopped spinning. The gear that drives it is also not spinning, meaning something broke closer to the motor. The warranty calls for sending it back (at your cost). Back to the store it goes...
