Customer Rating:      Summary: Wish I'd kept the receipt Comment: This worked well for a week or two. Now it freezes up (no pun intended) after it shaves only a couple of cubes. Although it has a pour spout, it is impossible to pour the shaved ice into a cup from the container without making a mess. I'd take it back, but I threw away the receipt.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Comment: I have had my shaver since June and love it. I use it at least 3 times a day. I have been hooked on eating ice since January, so when I saw the ice shaver, I purchased it at Walmart. The first one broke after 3 weeks, I re-order a new one online from Circuit City in July and have been using it faithful everyday.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Greatest shaver! Comment: This is the second Rival shaver I've owned. I purchased the first one about seven years ago and finally, between five family memebers and countless guests, I wore it out!! Truly the easiest and best shaver out there for the money. why waste your time on a shaver that requires you to use those pre-formed ice circles? And what happens if you forget to makemore?? Sheesh! The rival takes your basic ice cubes - your own or a store bought bag and makes it into fantastic shaved ice. This IS the product to purchase and own!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Nice snow cone machine for the price Comment: I expected this to shave ice very thin, but it doesn't. It's more like snow cone consistency, which was fine with me. I purchased this cause it was less expensive than a snow cone machine, even though I wanted snow cone consistency ice, so if you are looking for fine shaved ice, this is not the machine for you. It's a bit strange to have to have the lid on and be ready to go before you plug it in (only because I was used to the one where you hold the lid down to shave the ice). Some people complained about the hopper to catch the ice as it is small and narrow. You can take it off and just hold your glass under it to catch the ice and it's great! It fills up one large glass. I put the hopper back in place afterwards to catch the drips and I don't have to drain it. It's a very pretty machine, and I think a fair deal for the price.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great little snow cone machine Comment: We love our ice shaver. It shaves the ice just to the right texture for snow cones. The only thing I don't like is the shape of the container that holds the shaved ice is difficult to pour the ice out of and some of the shaved ice doesn't make it into the container but stays in the top area. But it's not enough reason not to buy it. We really enjoy ours.
