Tooth Saver
Excellent product. I've been addicted to chewing ice all my life. At the pleading of my dentist I bought this machine to help in preserving my teeth from the associated possible damage (already had old-filling teeth crack). Highly recommend.

Terrific Ice Crusher
Was going to purchase a cheaper one, which I'm glad I didn't. This one chops ice fast and without any problems. The noise isn't much either. Never jams and takes a whole tray of ice at one time and it's done so fast. It gets used everyday, as my husband loves ice water. Just a terrific crusher, and can not say one bad thing about it.

I love this ice Crushing machine.
I love this ice Crushing machine.
I did not think it was possible to get a consumer grade unit that makes crushed ice anywhere close to the quality of a commercial grade machine. I purchased this unit to go along with a refrigerator that has filtered water and an ice maker that makes half-moon ice cubes.
The ice I get from this unit is as good as any ice I have ever tried. I chew ice all the time and am very happy with the size, consistency and over all quality. The area I live in does not have the best water and the only conditioning is a standard filter built in to the fridge.
I was purchasing a 20 lb bag of ice from the store and thought that the ice sticking together and hard texture was just the way all crushed ice is. I guess I was not used to having the crushed ice fresh from the crusher. Since with this unit, you put the ice in the freezer right away, it is not partially thawed and then refrozen, so it does not have this problem.
I read all the reviews for this unit and found that some people expect the machine to seamlessly process all the ice cubes after just putting them in the funnel, or they are looking for a Snow Cone machine and not just ice suitable for cold drinks. Also some people think using this machine is too time consuming. One thing you need to do is tend to the ice cubes so they will feed down the small hole at the bottom of the funnel. I just use a small rubber tipped spatula from a .99 cent store. You will not spend a lot of time crushing ice if you are just trying to keep up with your refrigerator ice maker, or just making enough to store in your freezer. Just making the ice in ice cube trays is more trouble than crushing it with this machine. I am very happy with the function and quality of this unit. At $80.00 this is an excellent value.
