can you have snow ball fights with this? or snow angels?

Snow machines make snow that is like foam so it does not stuck together like real snowballs but you can make snow angels and foamy soft snowballs. Hope this answers your question.

No, it is not real snow... its basically like a soap type foam bubble. The cooler it is the longer it stays around. You could do a snow angel, but it would stick to you wherever it touches you. If its windy, it will blow sideways and not fall down, best to do it with very little wind.

It is a soap like substance when it comes out of the snow machine. As it lays on the ground it will stick around for a while so I would say yes to the snow angels but trying to make a snow ball seems problematic.

No. It's basically sort of dry, foamy bubbles. If you stand directly in front of the machine, the foam will collect on you, kind of like in a bath tub, but there is no mass to the bubbles. It's a great effect to see, though.

My husband received a 4 inch circular welt when a balloon was blasted at him from 200 feet. If it had been a snowball, it would have caused serious damage. So, yes you could launch a snowball, but never at a person!

My grandson (5 years old) loves rolling around or just sitting in it but he uses it on grass. I would imagine a layer of snow would not harm the ball. However, one consideration is the size of the entryway. Kids with snowsuits or heavy jackets may have a tight squeeze.

Hi Freesia,I consider myself an expert on these electric snowblowers. All snowblowers for that matter, as I have tried them all. A two-stage blower will still launch some gravel because small rocks will be in the snow, that the auger (1st stage) brings back to the impeller (2nd stage)

Yes you can. I currently have my blue snowball in it right now. But, you will need to buy the blue snowball shockmount, and remove the mount the the stand comes with. I have it screwed inside the top triangle where the stock mount is at. Its works quite well but you will need some basic tools to modify it with it.

yes you can do it but mine broke after some time; also it is not powerful enough when it is "really" cold.

Like the other reviewer said . Dry snow throws pretty far. But if there is wet snow or worse ice on the bottom this snow blower will not even go forward. You have to manually push it. That is really tough on the back and all other muscles. In that case I have to use a two stage blower. (Ariens).

Hey there! I know there are blenders out there that impressively make "snow" from the ice cubes you put in it, but I have never even tried that with this blender. This blender has a 1200 watt motor and has made the creamiest smoothies from frozen fruit, frozen yogurt, and about 8 oz of liquid base, so simply grating ice to the consistency you are hoping for seems a task this blender would rise to. The NativeJuicer website has recipes and blogs that may be more helpful to you in answering this question, and I highly recommend you visit there before you buy!

I have not tried it w/ regular balls. I currently use practice nerf balls, however, the net is strong enough of regular ones as well.

I am currently using 4 of these with blue snowballs and they work great. I also have one more that is lesser quality and I wish I had bought another one of these instead of saving a couple dollars on the inferior one. www.loiteringinwonderland.com to see pictures of them in action.

Yes you can use balls instead. It has a drain plug in it but if you don't have water just plug it up and go. Its a great product and my 4 yr old has a blast with or without water :-)

I have only used it with Blazing Angels. Have not played the other games so not sure.

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.

The iCE will probably work better for solo recording. Unlike the original Snowball, the iCE is not omnidirectional, so it picks up mostly what you are aiming at. For a group recording, the Snowball would be better. However, the Snowball can be toggled between directional and omnidirectional, which might be useful in future recordings. If you can budget it, get the Snowball.

I would say yes - can be used to make snow cones. The ice is truly shaved and very fluffy before the blender takes over. Imagine that you could simply use the manual shave control and shave ice into one of the pitchers then make snow cones from there. Sort of an expensive snow cone maker though....but a good idea for a secondary use.

You can, but the tracks won't work where snow and ice are present. It may not be totally weather tight.

You can if you want to. But it will destroy your grass. any type of snow blower that has a bottom scraper and paddles will remove some snow and a lot grass.
