Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hamilton Beach 68050 Icy Treats Ice Shaver, White
Customer Review: Good, not great
Summary: 3 Stars
I've always wanted a slushie machine of my own, especially since it can be hard to find good sugar-free flavors, so I was excited to get one of these. While it does work well in some ways, I was disappointed in others.
On the plus side, it's relatively easy to use. Put ice in the top, put flavoring (if you want) in the bowl, turn the bowl (which brings the mixing paddle into the right position), and you're good to go. Twist the blue plastic cover to turn on or off. It makes noise, of course, but far less than I was expecting. Comes apart easily for cleaning. Works pretty quickly, too. And it's a lot better than using a manual crank.
On the down side, the ice is a lot more coarse than I was expecting, even in slushie mode (which seems about the right texture for snow cones). And the mixing paddle doesn't seem to do very much. It spins slowly and doesn't do anything to bring the liquid from the bottom of the bowl into contact with the upper layers of ice. So as a slushie machine, it definitely leaves something to be desired.
I suspect, however, that it will work out very well for making iced coffee and other such drinks.
