Nostalgia RHD-400 Mini Retro Hot Dog Roller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this hot dog roller, and had to return it immediately. The pieces were very cheap, and the rod that inserts in to the geared hole to allow the motor to spin the rollers was not close enough, so the rollers would not spin when turned on. After fooling around with the appliance for 30 minutes while my kids anxiously awaited a cooked hot dog, I finally gave up, reboxed it and cooked them in a pan on the stove!

Ice Crusher by Trudeau Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had been wanting an ice crusher for a long time, and my husband surprised me with one of these on my birthday. It is unbelievably hard to crank, he always had to do it because I literally could not turn the crank more than a couple of inches either way. It broke off internal plastic pieces the very first time we used it, and more pieces broke off each time, until after using it about six times, it was completely unusable. This is a very expensive ice crusher that looks like it is quality because it appears to be all metal. Do not be fooled. Many interior pieces are plastic, and break immediately. This was a complete waste of money.

Electric Snow Cone Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this icy machine about three years ago, and I absolutely loved it. I liked the look, and it shaved ice very well. I paid around 50 to 60 for this product. After making approximately 50 snow cones in it though, it broke. The gears just kept grinding, but it would not shave ice anymore. I figured the blades had gotten dull. Therefore, I went out and bought a 30 dollar sharpening kit from a local hardware store. I sharpened the blades where they would cut the hair off of my arm like a razor. Still, it would not work. Therefore, I paid about a dollar per cup of shaved ice. I would have been better off buying my slushies at the local convenience store after I factored in the cost of ice and flavoring. It just is not worth the price for as little amount of time as it last.

Euro-Pro Slushie Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)O.K. Nobody out there could have been rooting for this little machine more than me. My husband bought this for me for Christmas (2005). I was thrilled...until we tried to use the thing. First of all, forget any of the recipies in the book. On that day we tried the very first one. All of a sudden, the machine started jumping around and making a loud clicking noise. We stopped it and looked and there was ice frozen all around the outside of the container. We melted that off and tried again. Same thing. Now, 4 months later, we have managed to get the machine to actually make slushies (within 30 minutes) only about 30% of the time. This machine will only make them with very high sugar solutions...even pop takes awhile. (We've been successful at using Kool-Aid with only about 3/4 as much water as it calls for.) The instructions say to keep adding ice/salt until it gets about an inch from the top. NO! We have found through trial and error that any ice/salt more than 1/2 way up the container will cause this finnicky machie to freeze up and stop. The slushies are of a good consistency when they actually work, but our whole family of 6 agrees that this is a better idea than actual product. Takes A LONG time and 32 oz of fluid will only make slushies for 1-2 people unless you give them out in tiny paper cups. Not good for parties, etc. like it says on the box. Kids would be crying all over. Also, the machine is VERY loud. Hard to have a conversation and you need to constantly check it and add tiny bits of ice. A real pain. The pour spout is nice, and it is easy to clean, but the frustration level is so high on this machine. Following their little instruction book to the letter just won't work. Like I said, everyone in our house has tried it, and it is just LOUD and FRUSTRATING...especially since when you crave a slushie, you CRAVE a slushie and want it then...not maybe, if you are lucky, in 30 minutes or so. Machine needs improvements...I'd spend my money on a better machine. Sad to say, but only 2 stars.

Nostalgia HDC-701 Carnival Hot-Dog Cart with Umbrella Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a huge hit at my last family get-together. It makes great hot dogs, and does a nice job of keeping everything warm. The directions on how to assemble were awful. My husband had a hard time, because it came with a lot of screws, etc.-it just doesn't go into to detail on how to put it together. It does come with a nice cover for when it's not in use.
Everyone seemed to like making their own hot dog their way. We had a great time with it, and we think it will be a hit at our backyard carnival.

BUNN 2-Hopper Ultra Gourmet Ice System (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought our Bunn Ultra 2 about 3 years ago for large parties, and in that setting it works great! Things to consider: it's really heavy! We purchased a stainless steel rolling cart from a restaurant supply and use/store the monster on it. The Bunn has a very nice feature where you can keep any leftover beverage on a "chill" setting instead of "Ice". This is great for times when you will be using it over a couple of days. The Chill setting will keep the beverage at a safe cold temperature then all you have to do is change the setting to ice and it will refreeze the drinks. Since it has a compressor it does make noise. Most people wouldn't even notice at a large noisy party, but if you are sensitive to background noises, it may bug you. It's really easy to dissemble and clean once you get the hang of it. The biggest challenge we found was to purchase the right drink mix. You can't just dump any drink mix in to the machine because it can potentially damage it. What ever mix you use MUST have a certain "Brix" value (google it).Our first purchase was from a company called Frozen Drink Madness. We ordered several different flavors but found them to be overly sweet. I usually add more alcohol to compensate but alcohol acts like an antifreeze, so you have to be careful. We found the best tasting mixes come from "The Margarita Man" which is a franchise. You can google it to see if there is a rep in your area. The strawberry margarita mix is especially good. You don't always have to make full batches either. I give it 5 stars because once you find the right mix, have a large party, it's a real crowd pleaser! If you are going to use it for smaller groups, be prepared to have a lot of left over drinks.
There are times when we feel like we spent too much on something we only use a couple of times a year, but when we fire it up at parties we are really glad we have it.

Hamilton Beach 68050 Ice Shaver Snow Cone Slushie Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just got one of these and I've been churning out delicious snow cones and slushies every day. I figure it will pay for itself in the next week from all the trips it's saved me trotting down to the local corner mart for the store bought variety.
The new machine arrived well packaged. It's worth reading the couple pages in the manual before assembly and operation but assembly is easy and you will be up and running in a couple of minutes -- literally. The product is solidly built plastic and well engineered. Nothing seems flimsy or makeshift.
About one standard sized ice cube tray worth of ice cubes fits in the top at a time; it self-feeds but you might have to reposition the cubes (a quick and easy task) about once per load to optimize the cutting. It takes about 4-5 minutes to grind through a tray's worth, and it works fine unattended. It's a bit noisy but tolerable -- after all, you are cutting ice. After a few times you will learn the sound of the cut vs the sound of the machine so you know when repositioning the cubes might speed things up. Two trays will fill the bottom bowl. Most pleasant surprise -- no mess at all, contrary to what you might expect. This is tightly engineered, and the bottom container locks nicely in place.
Pro-tip: Put your coffee cup if you use that, into the freezer before filling it to reduce meltdown of the finished product.
Warning: You must order the syrup separately!
Disclaimer: I have no ties to Hamilton Beach and no conflict of interest. This is a great little buy!

Hamilton Beach 68055 Ice Shaver, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My fridge's ice maker turns out crescent shaped ice cubes and they don't work well with this machine. The ice went round and round in the shaving chamber but rarely engaged the shaving blade. There just isn't enough downward pressure to force the ice onto the blade.
Update: I went out and bought some ice cube trays hoping that the size or shape of the ice cube was a factor. No luck, this thing still doesn't work so I'll be returning it.

Nostalgia RVM-560 Retro-Style 18-Can Vending Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a resurrection of the 'Ice 3' vending machine a few years ago. That machine lasted about a year before I had to replace the small internal fan. I decided to buy this one because it's a fun little machine that the kids enjoy getting their drinks without them opening the refrigerator door all the time. And, it looks cool. I'm hoping this one will last longer than the 'Ice 3' since the mechanics look identical.
I also have a Koolatron Vending fridge at my office. The Koolatron keeps the drinks colder but it only holds 10 cans, two in a holding area that you can only get to if you open the machine. I'm always running out of drinks and it seems i'm always opening up the door.
I like the Koolatron as far as it keeps the drinks colder but I like the Nostalgia because you can load 18 cans at once.
PROS: Looks, Holds 18-cans
CONS: Cans could be colder.

Totally portable and a perfect size for tabletop convenience, this retro-style vending machine keeps drinks ice cold and within reach. The unit can hold up to 18 12-ounce cans of soda or beer, and its design includes a can-dispensing compartment and an easy-load door. To operate, simply select the compartment with the desired beverage and push the button; the can drops into the dispenser just like it would in a full-size soda machine. The average running temperature of the unit ranges from 15 to 18 degrees F. Ideal for a dorm room, family room, or home office, the ETL-approved 18-can vending machine measures 12-1/5 by 12-1/5 by 25-8/9 inches and carries a 90-day warranty.

Portable Countertop Ice Maker - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this product for 7 months. I've used it regularly & had absolutely no problems at all with it. Except for the initial start up (which only lasts a couple of minutes) it runs quietly. It makes ice fast, the first batch is usually ready within 5-10 minutes and each successive batch takes about 4-6 minutes on medium sized cubes.
I use the medium sized cube setting, though there isn't a lot of difference between the 3 sizes. The ice will be wet because this is an ice maker, not a freezer. This isn't a problem if you are going to use the ice right away. It comes with a handy little scoop too. If you want to store the ice for later use, you will need to freeze it before adding it to an ice dispenser. I just pour the ice into gallon sized zipper freezer bags & stash them away. It's simple to separate the cubes after they've hardened up a bit. I usually pour them into the ice dispenser in my refrigerator freezer at that point.
I bought this ice maker because we have a big family & lots of guests and our ice maker in the refrigerator freezer has trouble keeping up with demand. This is the perfect solution. You can make ice quickly as needed or make it & store it ahead of time.
We keep it out on the counter all the time. Most people think it's a bread maker. I have found it to be quick, quiet & dependable. I'm very satisfied with it. For the money spent on it (less than $200 including shipping) I consider it one of the best appliance investments I've ever made.

Deni 6000 Ice Crusher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't really mean that in a good way. I received my Deni 6000 from Amazon and unpacked it right away. I've been using a Metrokane Ice Crusher for over a year now which makes the perfectly sized crushed ice for chomping on(not too bad for drinks, either) but the Metrokane is a hand-crank style and since I'm crushing ice about ten times a day... I thought I'd look for an electric one.
First off, the Deni 6000 makes ice chips about the size of a grain of rice- shaved ice style. This is an excellent product if you are looking to make sno cones or tropical adult drinks. I do not find the highly uniform and tiny size of the ice bits very good for crunching and munching, however. I don't think I'd like this style ice for my amaretto or whiskey sours, either- the ice melts too much when you add anything to it. But, that is really a matter of taste in function.
My two biggest issues- which prompted me to return the product- it has a funky little ice chute that takes one ice cube at a time and when I released the cube into the chute a major piece of fractured ice came flying back out at me and almost put out my eye. Now, I know I have two eyes, so no big deal, but I figure with my frequency of use I'd be inclined to put out the other eye in no time.The second issue I mebntioned is that while the rest of that ice cube was dancing around in there, the whole little machine was trying to rumba off my countertop. I literally had to hold the thing down and it still put up quite a struggle.
It was a little loud, but hey, no one even notices in my house.
The ice that came out was very nice for a sno cone and I like sno cones, so I give it a 3 star rating. Also because it was very easy to use- no assembly required, plug and play.

Hamilton Beach 68010 Snowman Ice Shaver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
