Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on August 22, 2024I like the idea of this - the execution isn't bad, either. The entire unit is basically just a spring-loaded plunger that you insert cups of ice into and make your mixer spin it into a blade that shaves the ice. Easier than a handheld one.
The little cups that you use to freeze ice into have a plus shaped notch in the bottom so you can fit the metal pegs inside to help it from slipping. It's very awkward to actually do that and I found it didn't really make much difference as the pegs have plenty of grip to keep the ice from slipping.
You will always be left with a 5-6mm thick disc at the end, which makes sense as plunger stops before you get anywhere near hitting the metal pegs.
I did notice, however, that the middle of the blade assembly had the beginnings of a dimple ground into it after making a few days' worth of bowls. This seems to be from ice spikes/bumps from your ice (when the top freezes before the middle and kind of pushes up) so I will be sure to chip those off going forward. If that portion of the shaver was metal it wouldn't be a problem, so just know that going in.
Other than that it gives you nice, snow-like ice shavings for whatever dessert you have in mind.
