We love this machine it makes it almost like snow in fact my kids have made snow balls with the ice that comes out. It makes a lot really fast and I have not been able to put the machine away it is always on my cupboard since we use it so much.

Not really sure about snow... I love in Louisiana. But I know they are really good with a glare off of water. Don't know if that's the same thing.

Im really not sure to be honest. These i can say are very sweet and we ended up having to dilute them with water. Then they worked out great for snow cones.

There are little plastic "pucks" in the kit. You add water to these and freeze them solid. When frozen you take one ice puck out of the plastic and drop it into the ice shaver, turn it on and it shaves away at the ice puck and into the cone. That's it, easy, simple, add syrup flavoring and you have a wonderful snow cone. They are called ice pucks because they look like hockey pucks. I freeze them ahead, take them out of the plastic and put them in individual sandwich size baggies so I have a supply on hand when needed.

It doesn't really shave the ice, it is more course like a regular snow cone would be.

Ordered the Snow Joe over the Toro due to more power, cheaper price, and metal, rather than plastic, blades... Hope I don't end up regretting it, as the Toro has far more information about it out there than the Snow Joe.Edit: Well, perhaps all things happen for a reason. The Snow Joe was back-ordered... I found more reviews on the QVC site, and they also had a video of the snow joe. QVC had a lot of mixed reviews and the video wasn't as impressive as ones I've seen for the toro, so I canceled the Snow Joe and went with the safer bet.

Hello, cones are cooled in a few minutes just to put it in an embace glass. It is very good.

It does not work well. There is basically a blade on the bottom and the top part pushes the ice onto it. When the blade is not "shaving" a smooth surface like the ice pucks make it not work well (makes ice slowly and it's not fluffy). It also has trouble turning a bunch of ice that is in pieces instead of the puck from the included ice trays.On the other hand, each ice tray can make 1 giant snowcone or 2 normal sized snowcones. Usually my little sister (6) will only finish 1/2 an ice puck's amount of shaved ice.

After experiencing shaved ice from the Swan SI-100E Block Ice Shaver which was fluffy snow like ice. I came back to this one at home and it didn't compare. This one felt more like ice "gravel" compared to the fluffiness of the Swan device.

I have one of these waffle cone makers and bought one for my son-in-law for Christmas. We love it since we make homemade ice cream and wanted homemade waffle cones to go with. Easy to make and better tasting then the ones from the ice cream stores. My one suggestion is, be careful and use them quickly when the weather is humid since they get limp.

It is not as fine as the ones you get in Hawaii but it is finer than snow cones.It is in between

I have a shaved ice business and this is a great unit. I have more expensive equipment and this is just as good as them. But on this unit you can make 100 cones at 12oz, it usually takes less than 20-25 min. I have a lot of experience and can spit them out very quick and when the lines start backing up I have to step it up. I timed myself and average about 4-5 a min. But its super soft shaved ice and not the crunchy snow cone type of ice. Its what keeps people coming to my stand and away from the other stands when I set up.

No. Does a very poor job on ice and not much better on frozen fruit. Overrated.

Ours didn't work either. I even bought a different one at the local grocery store and need up returning it because it didn't work either. I gave up and figured you had to get something more expensive to actually get a slushing or snow cone.

Hello, Nadine. This is a coarse sugar, but sparkles. I am not sure, I guess it depends on the look your going for with the snowflakes. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Just stay away from the usual American blends and you'll be fine. I usually use Lavazza Roma or Prima Gusto but I heard Illy is even better. Lavazza Roma is a bit less intense compared to Gusto but its upto your taste requirements.
