Snow days in the summer!
5 out of 5 stars
Snow days in the summer!
My area of the Southeast did not see a single snow flake this year. I was so disappointed that I decided to manufacture my own snow. After reading blogs and reviews, I settled for shelling out the money for this beautiful machine. I was honestly expecting to have to return it. I already have crushed ice from my refrigerator, and I was expecting an over-hyped machine that just made finer crushed ice. Nope. This little puppy makes SNOW! Just get the ice from your ice dispenser, in any shape or form, pour it into the top of this machine, press the lid down, and BAM! Snow! My husband has been raving about it. We’ve made smoothies with it (stirring it in. DON’T put smoothie ingredients in the machine! Just ice!), made snow cones for the kids, iced coffee, snow cream, etc. It has been used multiple times a day since I got it three days ago.My only complaint is I don’t like the syrups that come with it. I bought the machine along with the adorable cups, the snow shovel spoons (I mean, really. How cute is that?!), the syrup bottles, and the syrup mixes. It’s WELL worth the extra money to get all the accessories. If you’re going to shell out the money for the machine, go all out and get the accessories. Anyway, I’ve made the watermelon and grape flavors so far, and they taste like flavored medicines. I don’t think the syrups taste good at all, and neither do my kids. Easily fixed with some cheap Koolaide packets, though. I also grow my own fruit, so well be making our own strawberry, blueberry, and watermelon syrups from our garden. Just FYI on that, always mix your sugar and water or sugar and milk in a pot over medium heat to make a smooth consistency and not end up with a sugar grit syrup.Above all, this machine is wondrous! It’s safe with no sharp blades waiting to chop off small, curious hands. It’s fast. It makes actual snow. It is loud, but who cares? I’m a happy customer!

    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.

    Worth the investment. I previously had a small Rival ice shaver machine. It was fine. I used it for a decade, and the motor was having issues. I shopped replacements and was not impressed with the offerings for models about a third of the price of Little Snowie. If I'm going to spend that much and feel like it's a gamble, what's it cost to get a reliable brand/model, and who makes a good one? I was delighted to find what I was seeking. This Little Snowie Max is so much awesome. It's powerful. The build is top notch quality. The shave blade thing is replaceable. Can use any form of ice ya got. The product...fantastic. The shave result is so consistently snowy, you can make showballs with it. I am so impressed.

    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.

    Size: 6 Stick KitColor: WhiteVerified Purchase
    We received our Snowie a few days ago and we have been using it non-stop ever since. So let's go through this a bit.

    1) We liked this machine because it allows you to use ice cubes instead of pucks. So, big plus for convenience; however, not all ice is created equal. We found the the ice cubes from our fridge's ice machine work wonderfully and create beautifully fluffy snow, but we tried buying a bag of ice when our fridge machine ran out (yes we used it that much 🤣) and the end result was thick chipped ice like you would get in a traditional snow cone. I have no idea why this is the case, but I suspect it has something to do with commercial ice being made with purified/distilled water. Our tap water is kind of on the hard side, and I think that might be a factor. Either way experiment with different ices if you're not getting the results you expect!

    2) The dripping! As others have mentioned you may experience dripping from the output spout. You can reduce the amount of dripping by making sure you remove any compacted snow from inside the chute after use, and also do not leave any in shaved cubes in the reservoir. If you do get left over cube bits, just tip this bad boy upside down over your sink using the handle on the back. If these two conditions are met, just place a single paper towel under the spout after using and you won't have a mess. No need for a $40 tray.

    3) Also on the list of things others have mentioned this thing is SUPER LOUD. It kind of has to be though. You don't turn on a blender to make a smoothie and then complain about how loud it is, so why should this be any different? You're chopping ice! You're only running it for 15 seconds at a time (it's super fast), so if 15 seconds of loud noise is too much for you, just skip this purchase.

    4) The bottles that come with it are very nice to have, and they dispense syrups very cleanly and conveniently, but the syrup powders are garbagio. We bought RIO brand syrups because we're from the STL area and firmly believe that RIO makes the best syrups around. We put our syrups into the bottles and they work great.

    5) the little shovel spoons that come with it are awesome! My kids love the two clear colored ones that change into red/blue when they get cold. They're a fun addition to eating these treats, and we've really enjoyed them. They keep us from using up all of the spoons in the house!

    6) The cost savings! We calculated out that a 20 oz cup of shaved ice at a local stand runs about $4. With the cost of the syrups and the cost of the machine, we calculated that in order to recoup that cost we'd have to make 80 shaved ices. We've only had the machine for 4 days and we've already made almost 40 snow cones. Considering we're hitting summer this machine will have paid for itself 10 times over pretty soon.

    7) Safety first! The design is such that you can't slice your fingers by putting them in the chute and you can't turn the machine on while a hand is inside the reservoir. I know some people don't like that you push the lid down to operate but it's actually a safety feature, and I like it so my kids fingers stay attached because kids do dumb things, and there's no need to temp fate.

    Let’s start off by saying that this is loud! But does it work? Yes, yes it does. The motor spins a disc that feeds ice into a metal plate that flakes it into snow. It’s incredibly user friendly with an easy design that allows ice to be fed at the top. When you press down, it works its magic. It will fill a cup with nearly commercial grade snow in literal seconds. We utilize it by the sink so it really doesn’t make too big of a mess for us. The size of the machine makes it portable as well, so you can pack this up and take it anywhere. The machine is made of thick plastic so I don’t see any issues with longevity.

    I thought more product could of been given as it’s rather pricey. Other than that the grandkids love it as much as I do
