Hamilton Beach 68010 Snowman Ice Shaver
Review by Kevin B. Simmons "Poisonboy" : Frozen Treat 
Having great fun with this. As other reviewers have written, it is not for major snowball making. For my 2 kids the 2 chunks are enuff. As previously recommended, try freezing juices because sweeteners do melt the shaved ice fast. I have some sliced strawberries in juice now. I'll update the review and letcha know how it worked!

Review by JWil : Affordable Shave Ice Fun 
My family has been using the Hamilton Beach Snowman Ice Shaver for a couple weeks now and we love it. I think it's one of the best things to get kids for the summer. When kids are hot, it's a great way to cool them off with something fun and healthy. Just freeze some grape juice or other yummy, healthy drink, and turn it into a shave ice!
Pros:
--Great price
--Easy operation and cleaning
--Works with both ice molds (included) and any ice cubes
--Compact, vertical, space-saving design
--Comes with a good recipe suggestion booklet
Cons (these are all very minor):
--Sharp blade exposed on underside, so do not let kids operate or clean without close supervision
--The manual needs to be updated to reflect the newer design, which actually has fewer pieces that need to be cleaned; this model no longer has a "nut" holding the metal wheel in place, although the manual refers to it.
--When I called Hamilton Toll-free support about the "nut", they were clueless about the product in general and had a very old model to refer to

Review by blueangel : Snowman Ice Shaver 
I bought this machine before any description or reviews were posted and hoped for the best. I was pleasantly surprised in what this machine can do. One trick to this machine though, is to definately freeze the liquid that you want to use in the machine first. Conveniently, this shaver comes with two round freezing containers which fit the shaver compartment exactly. I have tried shaving just plain ice first and then adding liquids, but because this machine generates snow, the snow tends to melt before you get a chance to enjoy it. If you freeze it first, the snow cones last a long time and are much better. All that you have to do is put ice into the shaving compartment and push down on the top. You do not have to push for very long or very hard and the entire ice block will be shaved. If you are looking for a manual snow cone machine, I would highly recommend this one as an inexpensive, reliable candidate.

Review by M.Y.Kim : it's okay, but i've seen better 
It's slow. Maybe it's faster with the ice-mold rather than regular ice cubes, but i doubt it. Just after I got this model last week, I tried the Rival Snow Cone Maker at my friends home and that one is SOOOO much faster. I'd love to return my Hamilton BEach snowman for the Rival model, but I've already thrown out the box.

Review by S. Allen : Great purchase 
We have been very happy with this ice shaver. It is very easy to use, and the ice comes out very finely shaven. It is a great deal.
