Cuisinart Snow Cone Maker SCM-10P1

After purchasing another similar machine which did not work, was cheaply made and was a major disappointment for my 6 yr old grandson on his birthday. I ordered this this one after returning the original machine My g-son was sooooo happy and my daughter said it worked like a charm. I liked the design because of the ice depositing until an enclosed container there wasn’t a big mess to clean up due to the melted ice or just in general missing the container. The best part is this machine is the lever you apply for pressure On the ice to shaves it appropriately and efficiently, Which is very important to make the ice otherwise it just hangs in the chute and won’t grind. Makes great fluffy ice. Love it and it’s easiy to clean and the kids can safely use it. Thanks cuisines for making an affordable machine that works .

This ice shaver looks pretty in red. Brings out the "happy" in any celebration or get together. The machine is easy to operate. When you feed the ice, a gentle push will activate the machine. It has a safety feature that when you open the ice feeder, machine automatically stops even when switch is turned on. It has a big shaved ice reservoir so you don't have to frequently open and empty it. It's a time saver. There are also 4 cone cup holders on both sides. Pretty handy. Ice scoop is round shaped to give the treat top a nice dome shape. It produces a nice, fine shaved ice, perfect for snow cone or Halo-halo snack! Noise can get as loud as you would expect solid ice to bang against plastic container. Price is affordable and reasonable. Hope this machine lasts.

This little machine is awesome!! We bought it for my son's birthday, which happened to be the first day of our extended family's summer vacation. It was such a hit with everyone! (The ice is coarse, unlike shave ice, but no one minds a bit.) Best features: *Super simple to use *Great safety feature so kids can use it themselves: it won't work if the "snow" collection drawer isn't in place *Not too loud, especially considering it's grinding ice *Easy to clean *It came with some disposable and some reusable snow cone cups, which I hadn't realized ahead of time Pro tip: the Monin syrups pictured use cane sugar and no artificial colors and are very tasty!

Nice snow cone machine. The shaved ice is a little bigger then I would like. So it’s crunchy. But it’s really nice and easy use. We keep it on our prep table and just move it over to plug in when we need it. Lightweight. Nice tray underneath to catch the ice. Little side holders for the cones. I’ve been using small cups instead. Which works great. Love the little scoop that comes with. Just wish it would shave smaller pieces. Otherwise perfect.

Finally, a home snow cone maker that actually works properly and doesn’t cost a fortune.

This snow cone machine makes fluffy, refreshing snow cones in minutes. It’s simple to operate and clean, and the size is great for family gatherings. My kids love it, and it’s become our go-to for beating the heat. Highly recommend! Powerful, durable and snow cones tasted great. Low noise and results were a great value.

It has been a hot summer where I live and a cool snow cone is refreshing. This machine is so easy to set up and use and found that two large ice cubes will make enough shaved ice for one cone. The plastic cups that come with this can be used alone or I put paper cones inside as those always tend to either leak or get soggy before finishing cone. But inside plastic one works great. The scoup works well especially to put a rounded top though it is good to do that over sink. And enough left for my dog to enjoy the shaved ice too! Syrup from Amazon very good but anyone who has to watch sugar should note most of these are 20% of daily sugar so prediabetic and diabetic may want to find syrup with less sugar. All told I am very happy with this purchase. I am enjoying it and now my children and grandchildren will enjoy when come to visit.Ok now I feel bit stupid but perhaps others may run into same problem. Found that after use best to leave the ice tray out to dry. I did that and then when making another found machine would not turn on. Thought maybe circuit breaker but then realized I had not put the tray back in. A safety feature obviously. Just in case you run into this good to know.

Oh sooo good! I have wanted a snowcone for years, and a good machine to bring back those memories of ice bliss! So I got this-I'm in love! This thing came well packed, and works so good! It's easy to use and clean, and even looks so cool! It shaves the ice just like I remember from the past, and comes with a scoop that is the perfect size to scoop the ice to the cone. It has a flip down snow cone holder that I did not fully appreciate until I needed to put the snow cone down! It comes with good quality plastic cones, and some paper ones. The only problem I had was trying to decide which flavor I wanted! You will need to buy the syrup separately. And I tried to stack the ice too high on the cone like an icecream cone, that did not work out too well. Now I know why I have never seen one like that-the ice falls when you go to eat it. This this is seriously fun, and makes the snow cones fast with a large holder for the ice. If you want a good machine without spending hundreds, this is it!
