SNOWIE - Little Snowie Max Snow Cone Machine - Premium Shaved Ice Maker With Powder Sticks Syrup Mix

I've been debating on picking up the Little Snowie for some time now, and finally decided to pull the trigger instead of buying a cheaper machine. Texture, not quite like snow, but very close. Maybe twice the thickness of snow, most other machines seem to be about 10x the thickness of snow. So while not quite as good as fresh snow, it's very close, and beats out any other machine that I've seen. This is probably every bit as good as the professional machines, but doesn't require the use of custom ice molds. Ease of Use: 5/5 Product Quality: 4/5 Cost: 4/5 Snow Quality: 4.5/5 Noise: 1/5 Overall I love the product and would highly recommend it if you're interested in doing snow cones or slushies. My favorite thing to do with it is grab a cup of ice, dump it in, grind the ice (red dixie cups work great, my other cups have smaller rims that don't quite fill up the space and result in ice spewing out a little). It's crazy fast and easy to use, within about 10 seconds it will grind my glass of ice into snow, then I pour my favorite Orange Juice brand into the snow, and I get a nice Orange Slushie (one of my favorite things). But it doesn't require any prep-work, just grind and go, I love it. Cleanup is a breeze, I basically just let it air dry. The snow quickly melts and drips off, then just let it dry it out on the counter, if you wanted to speed up the process simply wiping it down with a dry towel would do the trick. The only real downside to this machine is how loud it is. It is extremely loud, but only for a few seconds, then you're done. I don't find the noise to be a huge issue, but it would be nice if they could insulate the sound a little so it isn't quite so loud. That being said, I would highly recommend it, even at the seemingly expensive price. The ease of use and convenience make it worth the price for me. And while it is made primarily out of plastic, there is nothing that feels weak or like it would break anytime soon. I plan on getting regular use out of mine for a long time to come. If you're sitting on the fence, debating on getting this product or possible one of the less expensive products that sounds similar, then hopefully this review will help you decide on which way to go. I don't think you will regret picking up the little snowie, but you may regret picking up the cheaper competitor products once you see first hand how large the ice grinds are. Read more

I have had my Little Snowie for 18 months. It's not heen stored away once since I opened the box. I use it every day. If there's ice in my glass, it's shaved ice from this beloved machine. It has so many great features. Fantastic design. The lid that pops up, stays ajar, allows air circulation, brilliant so not to let things grow in a damp environment. It dries itself out nicely. It is fully dismantleable for thorough cleaning or blade replacement. I don't know when the shave blade will need replaced though. A year and a half of daily use, and it's still perfect shaved ice. Using regular ice cubes is awesome. If it required a special ice mold, there's no way I would use it daily. The produced snow is consistently just that, snow. It's like having a pro shaved ice stand in my kitchen. Worth the investment. This Little Snowie Max is so much awesome. It's powerful. The build is top notch quality. It is loud but fast. The loudness is normal for a machine that rattles around ice. I purchased a 12x12 silicone dish drying mat for Little Snowie to sit upon. As any ice shaver machine will do, it's going to have some drainge. The mat works great, so it does not sit in its own puddle. Little Snowie, you rock! I love you very much 💜 Read more

We got this snow cone machine a couple of months ago, and it’s been a huge hit with our family! We’ve used it multiple times, and it continues to impress us with how quick and efficient it is. Each snow cone takes about 30 seconds to make using roughly a cup and a half of ice. We’ve tried it with both bagged ice from the grocery store and ice from our fridge, and it works great with both! The machine came with snow cone flavoring that tastes amazing—a perfect treat on a warm day. My kids (ages 5 to 11) love setting up their own little snow cone stand in front of our house, and it’s become a fun way to bring our neighbors together. Everyone loves it! One of the best features is how safe it is for kids to use on their own. It only runs when the lid is properly closed, and there’s no way for their fingers to get near the blades. It’s also super easy to clean—we just let it air dry, and it’s ready to go next time. If you’re looking for a fun and kid-friendly snow cone machine, this is definitely one I would recommend. It’s safe, easy to use, and brings a lot of joy to our home! Read more
