Rating : - Makes shaved ice, but LOTS of problems
I don't often review appliances, but we got this one as a gift, and I felt like I wanted other people to know a few things about this. As the other reviewers have said, it's built like a tank, and it'll take ice cubes right out of the fridge and turn them instantly into good shaved ice. So,... hooray for the basics.

Now, the problems:
* The snow flies everywhere. You can control it somewhat by jamming a plastic cup into the opening, but we've still had to put it in a place where we can easily mop up afterward.
* You'll also need to mop up about 20 minutes later. As the snow left inside melts, it drips down and puddles on the cup holder.
* Very weird -- this thing came with almost NO instructions
* It comes with four pre-mixed flavors and four syrups. But the pre-mixed bottles are totally unsuited for applying the flavoring onto the cone. And there are four nifty lids provided that would be perfect, except they don't fit any of the bottles! So just know you'll have to go to a crafts store and get your own squirt bottles to dispense the flavoring.

On the whole, I just feel like whoever is getting this together should've done a better job ironing out all these problems.
