Snowie 6150100 Review
Snowie 6150100 Review by Ryan Zander (Portland, OR USA)
My girlfriend expressed to me that when she was a little girl she loved shaved ice and always dreamed of being able to make it at home. So when Christmas rolled around I remembered this sentiment and decided on the Little Snowie.
This device produces true shaved, not crushed, ice from real ice cubes. It does not require specially formed ice cubes and has the power to make quite a few at once. You likely wont be able to open a shaved ice stand but will have no problems serving a party at your home.
In addition to being well designed and built it also comes with a few starter flavors making it usable right out of the box. This payed off as she was able to immediately use it after unwrapping it. In fact the device requires absolutely no preparation to use. Just plug it in, insert ice cubes, flavor and eat.
She has owned it for a couple years now and the lack of preparation required has paid for itself. As soon as it starts to heat up it ends up on the counter next to the coffee maker :)
Snowie 6150100 Review by Adriana Nichols "Picky customer" (Austin, TX USA)
I'm so happy I found this product, my Snowie Shaved Ice is awesome, is everything we wish for and more, it even included the foot pump (which I didn't know it would). Yes it's pricier than most, but it's worth every penny. The machine is really powerful, we have been using it every day for almost a month now and what you get every time is a perfect snow ice. Best purchase ever. For those who experienced ice splashing all over... I'm sorry but I have to say: "the problem is definitely the driver not the car" if you know what I mean. It's very simple to use, and yes if you put more ice than you need in it and don't bother dumping the rest... it will melt, that's what ice does...it melts.lol

The product itself was well described by the reviewer who explained that it blasts ice out of the chute in a wide pattern that is somewhat difficult to catch completely in a standard 6oz snow cone cup. Some flakes of snow will inevitably escape. So, it can be a bit messy and is best used outside on a picnic table or over a counter/floor that you can easily sponge to remove the melted ice.
Now, the good news is that it is very quick to fill that 6oz snow cone cup and the dome on the chute works as advertized to form a nice rounded top on the ice in your cone. You'll be adding ice to the hopper frequently as the hopper only holds enough ice for maybe 3 cones. But, you'll you won't have people waiting in line for this machine. It's way faster than cheapies. Also, note that the grinder looks much like a garbage disposal mechanism from the top and while relatively quiet if running with the hopper empty, it makes a fair amount of garbage disposal-like noise when shaving the ice.
The ice quality is pretty good. It's finer than the coarse grind from the original sno-cone machines. So, it is indeed a shaver, not a grinder. The particle size of the snow it produces is not adjustable.
The package included 4 - 16oz (pint) bottles of pre-mixed syrup and 4 - 4oz bottles of flavor concentrate. 4oz of concentrate + 5lb of sugar yields a gallon of finished syrup. So, in total there's enough supplies (sans the sugar) to make 4 gallons of syrup plus an additional half gallon of syrup ready to use.
A small package contains 4 each, friction-fit pouring spouts, stretchy rubber spout covers, and shampoo bottle style screw on caps with a little open/close dispenser tip. The spouts and covers fit the 16oz syrup bottles and the screw caps fit the concentrate bottles.
One handy extra that is included is a pneumatic foot switch and hose. The switch is essentially a rubber hemisphere that sits on the floor. When you step on it, it compresses the air it contains which travels up the hose and activates a pressure sensitive switch to start the unit. I found this item very handy as it frees both hands to manage filling the cones.
For those of you considering letting your kids operate this shaver, the biggest hazzard is putting hands into the grinder chamber while the anvils are turning. That could bruise some fingertips. But, the manufacturer recognized that hazard and installed a safety switch that will not let the grinder operate while the top is open. Once the top is closed and latched, there is no way to put hands/fingers into the grinding chamber. With a little supervsion at first, a responsible 8 year old could probably do a good job running it.
Note that there is a 3-position rocker switch on the side labled on-off-foot. If set to on, it runs continuously (and produces snow continuously). In the foot position, it only runs while your foot is depressing the dome on the foot switch.
Overall it's a pretty decent product for the price and its intended use. The only thing I would like to see improved is to tame the discharge pattern of the snow so that it all goes to filling the cup. But, the mess is only water so not that big a deal to clean up. Overall, I'm happy.
