Nostalgia Shaved Ice Machine, Aqua

Works great! We use it for big events and it handles the crowds well- over 400 people in two hours.

This Snow Cone machine is fantastic. Quality materials, sturdy, and easy to move around with the wheels. It has a cabinet for storing cups, syrup, and the scoop, and a bracket for holding cups as well. The shaved ice it makes is high quality and makes delicious snow cones. It’s also safe and easy to use - my 11 year old granddaughter can use it without any problems or concerns. She loves making snow cones for her friends. Lots of fun!

I ordered this for a children's event and was very excited when it arrived. Unfortunately, I tried putting it together but got stuck on step 3 for almost 45 minutes! Right when I thought I was just useless, I realized the piece had been welded backwards and it wasn't my ineptitude...but a mistake with the provided pieces. Even though I purchased through amazon, I decided to reach out to the company. The young lady that answered the phone went above and beyond to try to help solve the problem (unfortunately they did not have the part). However, she assisted with getting me in touch with Amazon so that I could exchange the machine for another one. The new one arrived and worked like a dream! It is able to shave the ice quickly. It only took a few minutes to have the machine almost a third of the way full! Clean up was very simple and the storage bin is nice!

I bought this snow cone machine to enjoy the Easter holiday with kids. When the technician has set it up the machine wouldn't grind the ice. It wasn't even spinning. I contacted Amazon and was offered free return. Then the DHL agent in My island St. Vincent and the Grenadines said they were not informed of any such return by Amazon. This is such a headache because I spent quite a few hundred dollars between buying the item, shipping it to the Caribbean and clearing it from customs. All this for nothing because the machine isn't working. the technician then attempted to check if something was wrong and when he opened the big blue part where the motor is it was broken and still had wet glue. This is just wickedness and they are not even offering me a refund, but rather I must return it before they can determine how much of a refund I get. This is the worst experience I have had from Amazon. Just please give me my money back or a replacement of the item. Shipping to the states from the Caribbean is hard and expensive. Please Amazon or Nostalgia, you collected my money and all I have is damaged product. Please give me my money back. I'm begging you.

Bought this for the church annex and on Wednesday night when we have all of our teens come for their Bible lesson, I made them snow cones and a few adults were anxious for one as well. They were a big hit and the machine kept up with all my many orders. Only one thing I could see as a way of improvement. There isn't a ledge by the door, so ice tends to want to just empty out on the floor because I have it so full of ice. I know I could just crush as I go but to keep up with 35+ people who are basically wanting their snow cone at the same time, it was better to crush a bag of ice and then start on the next one when that was dwindling down. I may try to figure out something to put there to keep it from sliding out when I open the door. Great ice and Lots of Fun. I wouldn't let that minor thing keep you from buying it.

Once assembled, it's a little bit larger than I thought it was going to be however, I wouldn't change a thing. It is easy to use fairly quiet and easy to clean. It is definitely meant for adults to use not children because of the blades inside of the top used to shave the ice. It was a hit in the summertime at all of the parties. It comes with some flavor bottles, and it brought me back to my childhood with great taste to the snow cone.

The media could not be loaded. It works just fine! It’s loud but when shaving ice down what can you expect? The kids love it paid a professional to assemble took him 20 minutes.

I purchased this snow cone machine for my 3 teenage boys to allow them the have a Summer job and learn responsibility selling snow cones in our neighborhood. Well let’s just say it has never left our outdoor kitchen, everyone comes over wanting snow cones or crushed iced for their drinks. We love it and it gets used multiple times a day, everyday. It is so easy to put together and even easier to use. I 100% recommend this product.
