Worth Every Penny! Shaves The Best Snow! Very Fluffy!
by Techout (5 out of 5 stars)
January 19, 2018

Awesome shaver! Makes fluffy snow that is light and easy to eat with no ice chunks floating around! Build quality is great everything feels sturdy and feels it will last! Replaceable blade is also a nice feature. The price seems a bit high for a shaver but trust me it is worth it! The included syrup samples taste great (i have ordered 8 pints of snowie syrup since).

Excellent shaver!
by Pierce Herrington (5 out of 5 stars)
February 7, 2018

This shaver works wonderfully! I had a long road to get to this shaver, so I've included my experience below for anyone who is as obsessive as I am about shaved ice. The short version is that this shaver isn't absolutely perfect but for home use it's the best option I've seen under $800. I don't think most people really need an ice shaver at home, but if you are going to get one then this is a good choice. I am completely satisfied with my decision to purchase it.

Why this shaver:

I originally purchased a large block ice shaver from another manufacturer. It looked like a large blue drill press that was slightly modified to shave ice. That machine arrived dirty and a swab test of the shaver plate tested positive for lead. I wanted something that was safer and that's what lead me to the Little Snowie 2. While the Little Snowie 2 is made in China, the build quality is excellent and (as far as I can tell) everything about it is food grade. Additionally, when I contacted the Snowie through their web site, they were very responsive and helpful. I had a lot of confidence buying their product.

The ice quality:

Cube shavers don't produce ice as fine as block shavers, but this comes pretty close. I emailed the company prior to purchasing and was told this (paraphrased):
'On a scale of 1 to 100, with 1 being the old crushed ice shavers and 100 being a block ice shaver, this is an 85.'

I would say that is an accurate description. The vast majority of the ice this produces is powdery perfection, with a few little flakes mixed in. They aren't enough to take away from the quality of the snow ball.

Product description:

The shaver is about the size of a coffee pot and fits well on a counter. It is very well designed. I was initially concerned because it's smaller and lighter than I'd expect for the amount I paid, but my concerns vanished after I used it the first time. The build quality is excellent and the ice it produces is wonderful. The low size and weight are a good thing. It is quite loud from the ice bouncing around as it shaves, so I'd recommend ear plugs. Replacement blades are available and the manufacturer told me that the blade is good for about 1000 cones.

Thoughts on use:

It will take a little while to figure out how to make the best ice. In general, using ice cubes that are larger, rounder, and colder will give you a better product. I use bagged cubes and they work great. Syrups with more sugar produce a smoother product.

If your syrup is too watery or too warm, it will melt and refreeze the snow. Once you get your technique down, you can start reducing the sugar content if desired. I can now use syrup that is more than 3 parts water to 1 part sugar and get good results.

Find the right cup and spoon. If you use warm glass cups and metal spoons, the ice will melt on contact.

I love this little work horse!

I love this little work horse! I own a small shaved ice business and this little Snowie gets the job done! Smooth, soft, consistent shaved ice each time. I used it at an event with over 2,000 in attendance and my company served nearly 500; this little machine grind through ice like it was nothing! I love this product for everything that it boasts, unique design, powerful motor, easy-carry handle, dome ice shaper! I totally recommend Snowie products, and I love all the information provided by Snowie on Youtube and the website; it makes me feel there's help available if needed.

Sincerely,

Lorrie, S.A. Texas

Broke 4 months after I bought the machine!
by Kindle Customer (3 out of 5 stars)
July 5, 2018

Date July 6th, 2018, Update: Very fast response: I have spoken with the company and they are sending me a new machine out today and sending me a prepaid label to return the broken one. They do not know what happened to this one but they are going to research the issue with their engineers.

I bought the machine to do snow cones and Taiwan snow ice....My freezer is at -10 and -7 degree and I was assured that the temperature of the ice was not the issue. I don't know what happened with it but before this time....I loved it.

I will update once I get the new machine in.

Date July 5th, 2018 I have had this machine for only 4 months and the plastic piece in the center broke and now I am out 199.00. Beware! It broke fast and we did not use it too often! Originally bought it for my autistic son birthday party this month and now he will not have it that day....

Makes fantastic fine snow quickly
by SWD (5 out of 5 stars)
July 3, 2017

This thing is great! I had a Snoopy Snow Cone Maker when I was a kid. It was hard work and left blisters on your hands. I promised myself that someday I would buy a better one.

I started researching snow cone makers on Amazon and reading the ratings. Many reviews of other products said that they made small bits of ice, but didn't shave it, and that the flavoring would not get absorbed. It would just drip down to the bottom of the bowl.

Other products seemed to grow mold if they weren't cleaned thoroughly after each use, or they took too long to make even one snow cone.

I wanted something that would make really fine snow and also work quickly so that our whole family could have snow cones and eat at the same time.

This one is fantastic and well worth the money. It shaves ice very quickly. It can make many snow cones in a minute or two. It's easy to use and easy to clean. It's exactly what I was looking for.

It's easy to dry out, as well, because I don't want to worry about mold.

Also, I had to contact customer service regarding a shipping issue and they replied quickly, and were nice and polite and tried to resolve my issue. My comment to them was that I had not known that this product required me to be present when it arrived. The delivery driver needed my signature upon receipt. Be prepared that you will need to have someone at the delivery address to sign to acknowledge delivery. So you'll need to keep an eye on the tracking.

Got syrup?
by Leland C,Top Contributor: Photography (5 out of 5 stars)

I waited and waited for an Amazon Lighting deal which appeared this past Saturday afternoon for $168. By Tuesday the Snowie was delivered. That night I unboxed and lifted the machine with the rear carry handle, one of the best design features. There are no other pieces to mess with. We made 3 shaved ice cones for the kids and spouse. (Rated G ones for the kids and an alcoholic strawberry margarita one for the adult.) It's so easy to throw in a bowl full of ice cubes and make shaved ice. The machine is quite loud. The shaving mechanism is a ~2" high medal cylinder with multiple slots that spin at high RPMs to deliver the fine ice shavings and occasional icy bits though the slots. The machine fills up an 8oz cup in a few seconds. Rotating the cup around a few more seconds will make a nice round dome with the clear plastic shaping dome. This also prevents errant discharge of snow. The snow texture is nice and fluffy. However the texture not to the same level as the shaved ice shops in Hawaii made from commercial block shavers. Most of the ice is a fluffy snow texture but intermixed with small bits of ice. But the texture is far better then the $30 model we had before, where everything coming out are 3mm bits of ice. There are 3 dislikes with this machine. The cover is also the switch. Press the cover closed and the motor cranks. Let go, and the cover springs back up with a 1" gap above the ice hopper which allows warm air to melt the ice. A closed cover will keep ice dry and colder in the hot summer. The other issue is the gap in the machine housing. The machine plastic housing is molded in 2 pieces and butted together with very small bolts & nuts. There is a very clearly visible 1-1.5mm gap in the seam around the whole machine. I wish the casing was fully interlaced to leave no gaps especially in the hopper to prevent leakage. The most problematic issue is any melting water runs out of the blade enclosure and down the plastic dome and down the front of the machine. There is no way to put a cup or bowl under the edge of the dome to catch dripping water. Their $40 drip tray will not help either. Over time, I wonder if the dripping water will uplift the product decal. That would be a shame. There's a coupon code for 3 pints of 'free flavoring' however the shipping actually cost more the flavoring itself. Nevertheless, I'm sure this will be well used this year's parties and I'm sure I'll break even by mid summer. Today at my kids school, a local shaved ice truck made their monthly stop. I saw that they use a commercial Snowie machine. I can't believe the $6 per order. Now I feel even better about my purchase of the Snowie 2. Got syrup?

Perfect SHAVE ICE - Great Product.
by Steven Iwersen (5 out of 5 stars)
August 20, 2017

Excellent Shave Ice! This is a great machine that provides real fluffy snow-like ice, not chunky snow cone type ice.

What we like:
- Safety. Designed to protect fingers.
- Size. Convenient for home use and storage. The handle makes it easy to carry around.
- Self-contained. No loose pieces
- Shaver is ideal, as opposed to other products that grind or chop ice.
- Samples! It came with wonderful samples of flavors that can be ordered.
- Hopper for ice is reasonable in size. The fact that you can use ice from the freezer makes this ideal.
- Fast! It makes a cup of Shave Ice really fast.
- Not messy.

What we think would make it better:
- Quieter. It's loud. Probably can't be helped.
- Would be nice if it came with a couple of cups that demonstrate appropriate size for machine.

We really like the Little Snowie.

We used Little Snowie 2 at our granddaughters birthday party. It was a huge hit. I love to have a Shave Ice every evening. It's a must have If you want Shave Ice. We've had a different machine, don't buy another brand, buy Little Snowie!! You won't regret it.

Exceptional Value for the Price
by Connie Batchelder (5 out of 5 stars)
December 30, 2017

This was absolutely the best gift my 15-year-old son received for Christmas! My family loves Hawaiian Shaved Ice and if you are familiar with it, you know shaved ice is not cheap. This machine was more expensive than other machines available for home use, but definitely worth every penny. Not only is the ice shaved to perfection, you do not have to purchase special blocks of ice to use it. Regular ice cubes will work in this machine! Several small bottles of flavored syrup came with the Little Snowie 2 machine, but I recommend you also purchase the Hawaiian Shaved Ice 10 Flavor Syrup Package so you have enough to enjoy this delight regularly. The machine is durable and quick; it arrived early and was packed like precious cargo. I am seriously thinking of purchasing another one to take to work! I highly recommend this product to all!

Not as well built as when they were first made...
by Jaqueline Burney (3 out of 5 stars)
March 1, 2019

I purchased the first model as soon as it came out. It came with a 3 year warranty and was built well with steel parts inside the hopper. 2 1/2 years later, we moved and the movers broke it. So, I ordered another. This one only came with a one year warranty and the parts that were once stainless steel are now plastic. I am very unhappy that this company decided to take shortcuts.

Love this little machine!

This shaved ice is fine enough for my liking. We love to eat ice but it's hard on the teeth. This machine is FAST although quite loud but we are unbothered by it. We have used it to fill up a cooler with snowballs this summer and it's been a lot of fun.
