I have had this devise for about 6 months. It ended up in the recycly bin.

First: It is unbalanced and hard to keep steady without a good solild grip. I have ice that comes out of a stanadard refrigerator and it was a pain to keep the handle going in a smooth motion. I was even going to make a wood base where I could keep it from tipping over while I turned the crank. It broke before I got to that project.

Second: The exterior is a heavy cast material but the interior has a plastic grate that broke after 6 months.

For the same money, about $50, you can get a good electric.

I completely cleaned this product before using it; there were always tiny metal shavings in the ice the half dozen times I used this thing….then the handle snapped off. I have an older model ice crusher that works fine, but this thing should not even be on the market.

This ice crusher is just okay. It is very top heavy making it hard to keep still as you turn the crank. It would have been much better if it came with a clamp to clamp it to your counter top while you use it. It does not crush the ice very fine, definitely not for snow cones and the like. I usually use it to get the ice into smaller pieces to put in my blender so I don’t end up with large chunks in my smoothies. When I was a kid we had an electric ice crusher that, although was loud like nothing else, worked really well at making small pieces of ice. I would like to have something more like that.

First and foremost, this ice crusher does a pretty good job. The top half of the ice crusher is heavy compared to the base so it can be knocked off balance. It does a good job crushing even large ice cubes from the traditional Rubbermaid ice trays. It does not grind the ice into snow but I didn’t expect or want it to. One down side is that the finish of the ice reservoir (the bottom half) gets damaged if you put it in the dishwasher. You also can’t load a large amount (more than a cup and a half I would think) of ice at a time.
