This snowcone maker is a cheap and effective option for making snowcones, as long as you use smaller ice. It can be loud, but it's a good deal if that doesn't bother you.

I've been wanting a snow cone machine for a while now, and I'm happy with the quick delivery and affordable price of this one. It is a bit loud, but that's to be expected since it shaves ice. I really like the texture it creates. I also appreciate that it came prebuilt. Just keep in mind that it doesn't come with any flavoring, so be sure to purchase some separately.

I want to express my gratitude to Courant products for saving my summer! My old 'snow cone' maker, which had lasted almost 20 years, broke down in June, leaving my family without a way to enjoy icy treats. Despite the noise and vibrations, I love this little unit because it delivers a great icy product using only ice cubes from our refrigerator. Although it arrived with a missing part, the seller was extremely helpful and quickly sent me the missing piece. I'm thankful to have this handy appliance to improve our hot, dry Eastern Washington summers.

Two years ago, I bought the Snoopy Cone Machine and recently received the Courant Retro Cone Maker. I'm really impressed with the new maker and can't wait for my grandchildren to try it tomorrow. I'm also looking forward to making some adult cones as well.

This machine is a cost-effective alternative to expensive ones. Use small dishes instead of putting ice directly into the machine for finer ice and quicker results. It's better than drinking sodas and really refreshing. The dog loves the ice too. Courant flavors are good, but Monin flavors are more affordable. Enjoy!

This product is very effective and does exactly what it is supposed to do. It works especially well with ice that has been out for about 10 minutes. It's probably best with bagged ice, but I use the ice from my fridge and it works perfectly. I highly recommend it as a great and relatively healthy treat.

We purchased this for our boat and it's been a hit with our large group of family and friends. On Father's Day weekend, we had 15 kids on the boat eagerly waiting for snow cones. The product has been fantastic and we haven't encountered any problems. It's definitely a must-have for us!

The plastic material made me unsure about its durability, but it has been used daily for about two months and is still going strong. My son really enjoys it. It works best when using pre-crushed ice.
