Overview
An electric ice shaving machine built for snow cones, using a 1/4 HP motor at 1420 RPM to crush up to 500 lbs of ice per hour. The stainless steel hopper and blades handle party-size batches, with acrylic panels for the housing.
- 1/4 HP motor at 1420 RPM
- Rated up to 500 lbs of crushed ice per hour
- Stainless steel hopper and blades
- Motor reset button and plunger safety switch
Who it's for
Good fit for anyone hosting parties, block events or pop-up concessions who needs a steady supply of shaved ice rather than one glass at a time. Less suited to a household that just wants an occasional snow cone, where a smaller countertop shaver would be easier to store.
Pros and cons
- Crushes large batches quickly for parties and events
- Stainless steel hopper and blades built for repeated use
- Safety switch and reset button prevent jam related injury
- Non-skid feet keep it steady on a counter
- Drain fitting has a sharp bend that can be slow to clear
- Runs loud during operation
- At least one buyer received a unit that would not power on
Performance notes
The plunger safety switch stops the motor unless the plunger is seated in the hopper, and a reset button recovers the motor after an ice jam. The drain uses a 90 degree fitting that several owners found slow unless worked by hand.
