My son and I use this thing all the time! We love how fast and easy it is to use. It is loud, and rocks a little when shaving the ice, but that was expected. We use this in conjunction with a countertop ice maker and boom! Shaved ice all the time!
I was hesitant to purchase this. I didn't know if it was going to actually work well. To my surprise it works great. The only things I can complain about is I wish the top came apart to clean it and wish it wasn't as loud as it is. The noise scares my 10 month old. But other then that it works as it should.
