Pro Shaved Ice Maker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is barely the beginning of summer and I have been able to make fruit juices and flavored drinks without much fuss. The machine is small and fits right into my kitchen. It is light weight, yet sturdy and works well. The shaved ice comes out nicely and adds a nice texture to my drinks. The only downside is the ice blocks I have to make before being able to use it. Overall, loved it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was honestly really disappointed with the Dash Pro Shaved Ice, Soft Serve, Slushy Machine. My grandkids were over and we were so excited to make slushies, but after taking nearly an hour, and seeing the results, they were over the excitement. First of all, it took way too long just to make two small bowls, which was frustrating right from the start. I'm not sure if something was off with the blade, but it just didnt shave the ice very efficiently. I tried both the coarse and fine settings, and honestly, there was no noticeable difference between the two - it all came out looking the same. On top of that, as soon as you pour syrup over the ice, it melts super fast. To get a decent-sized portion, you'd basically have to shave an entire block of ice, from the mold, which would take forever. Another downside is you have to hold the power button down the entire time and it makes so much noise. After awhile, your hand gets tired, and it just makes the whole process even more inconvenient. Cleaning isn't much of an issue since you're only using ice. Overall, this isn't something I'll be using again or recommending. It just didnt deliver the results I was expecting.
