Dash Pro Shaved Ice Machine Cream

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t love this product. It is quite bulky and takes up a lot of space. It requires a lot of prep time to then prepare anything and don’t love that either. It is a bit challenging to set up and takes a lot of effort to make 2 small servings of ice cream.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is barely the beginning of summer and I have been able to make fruit juices and flavored drinks without much fuss. The machine is small and fits right into my kitchen. It is light weight, yet sturdy and works well. The shaved ice comes out nicely and adds a nice texture to my drinks. The only downside is the ice blocks I have to make before being able to use it. Overall, loved it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was such a cool product to be able to try for free from Influenster. I only tried a traditional shave ice, but I think there are a lot more possibilities. It was small in size but mighty in power to shave ice. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My childrens was Very excited with this dash pro shaved ice machine. It's a very cool machine. Come with 2 containers to make the perfect size ice. It is very easy to put together and understand the instructions. We all enjoyed this refreshing and icy drink. I add apple juice. And another with strawberry lemonade and was delicious. Thank you so much.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed this project! It’s a pretty big machine but it closes up nice & has a great strap to downsize it when done. It is easy to use and put together. The ice is pretty easy to shave but it does get stuck at times. I do not know what to do if the blade is not sharp enough - will continue to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so disappointed by this Dash Pro Shaved Ice Machine. After 15 minutes plus of pressing down the button (in increments), the ice in my cup was simply not worth it. The texture was also weird.. it looked and felt wispy like cotton candy but melted, obviously. About half the ice puck produced 1/4 (if that) of ice in my mug. I did find letting the ice puck sit out on the counter for at least 10 minutes before starting helped it shave easier. The machine parts are easy to clean and take apart. The look of this machine is sleek and being able to take it apart for storage is a great feature. Unfortunately, I will not keep using this product in my home but after some upgrades, like maybe adding more blades for an even shave, I'd be willing to try again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dash Pro Shaved Ice Machine is my families favorite! I made ice cone for the kids throughout the day and a margarita for me at night. It’s a nice size, it fits in my cupboards. It’s easy to clean since I don’t put anything besides ice. I don’t let my kids use it because they might hurt themselves. I enjoy the noise it makes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a pretty cool machine. I had to adjust the blade a little because it wouldn't shave the ice. Once we did that it was amazing. We froze water and pink lemonade - we shaved both and the lemonade was way easier and faster than the plain ice. We definitely will be freezing more lemonade this summer! It was delicious and the ice is shaved so small.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Dash Pro Shaved Ice Machine was simple to set up and luckily since it’s just water, easy to clean up (just let air dry- watch the ice blade). Great idea in concept especially for summer, but it does take quite a long time to shave only one bowl of ice. I also tried making it coarser as instructed but it kept the same super super fine ice that disappeared when I poured the flavor liquid on top. My boys loved it but I don’t see pulling it out often for them as it took so long for one. Definitely not for party use as the time per treat would keep a hostess away from the festivities. Grateful I was able to try, but not sure I would purchase on my own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super simple and easy to use shaved ice machine. As the warm weather begins to be more constant and summer outdoor activities shove the indoor boredom to the side, this little gadget will undoubtedly be a staple in weeknight or weekend fun. It’s not the highest quality made machine in my kitchen but I think the simplicity is what adds to the overall quality of its existence in a home. I can’t wait to get more use out of it & explore its abilities further during peak summer season

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to Influenster for gifting me this for my honest opinion. I really had high expectations for this ice shaver but it let me down. First, it was really hard to use. By the time you shaved the ice in your cup or glass and put your flavor in, the ice has already melted. This is too difficult to use. Cleaning was easy, because it’s just ice. Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am over the moon for this! Summer months cannot come soon enough - this is going to be a huge staple at my house! I’ve already started to buy syrups and look up recipes! It’s compact enough to fit on my counter seamlessly and not take up too much space. The design of this is very user friendly, and it seems that maintenance / clean up will be fairly easy as well! I also love that all parts are included so no extra unnecessary trips to the store!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was honestly really disappointed with the Dash Pro Shaved Ice, Soft Serve, Slushy Machine. My grandkids were over and we were so excited to make slushies, but after taking nearly an hour, and seeing the results, they were over the excitement. First of all, it took way too long just to make two small bowls, which was frustrating right from the start. I'm not sure if something was off with the blade, but it just didnt shave the ice very efficiently. I tried both the coarse and fine settings, and honestly, there was no noticeable difference between the two - it all came out looking the same. On top of that, as soon as you pour syrup over the ice, it melts super fast. To get a decent-sized portion, you'd basically have to shave an entire block of ice, from the mold, which would take forever. Another downside is you have to hold the power button down the entire time and it makes so much noise. After awhile, your hand gets tired, and it just makes the whole process even more inconvenient. Cleaning isn't much of an issue since you're only using ice. Overall, this isn't something I'll be using again or recommending. It just didnt deliver the results I was expecting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is light weight and portable. My setup and assembly was easy… the output and making the products was easy and fun for the kids and adults. The capacity is good.. in the end I recommend this product— it does its job.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy setup and use, my 8 and 10 year old children easily used. Perfect for family nights, sleepovers, parties. The knob allows you to control the thickness of the ice. It is a little noisy when in use but you are shaving ice.. we have used multiple times with easy set up, use and clean up. Very reliable and sleek design.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well although there is a knob to adjust the shave of the ice, it literally only comes out like snow. I personally like this consistency however it may be a minus for others. It took som trial and error to make this work. Additionally I do no t like that you have to hold the button down to shave.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would give this 0/5 if I could. I froze the water, added to the machine, and… nothing. I was hoping this would be my new dessert option, but it definitely won’t be. I’m so disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a must have for the summer! My kids enjoyed making their own "snow cones." The instructions were easy, as well as the set up. It comes with 2 plastic containers so your ice is the perfect size to shave. You can choose from fine or coarse ice. We will absolutely be using this all summer long.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is awesome!!!!! It comes with two containers to freeze any liquids you want and it’s incredibly easy to use and clean! The ice shavings are the perfect size- melt in your mouth. There’s also a feature that lets you adjust the size for a more or less coarse texture. I really love the ice blocks you can create as you don’t need to buy ice- simply freeze any flavors you desire! Great little recipe book included. My kids and I all adore this and it’s slender for easy storing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was introduced to Korean shaved ice by a good friend of mine when I used to live in California. Since moving away, I have not located any spots where I could get some near me, without having to make a big trip to another part of town to get one. When I saw this machine, I was intrigued and was eager to see if I could achieve a similar result at home. The instructions for assembly and making something with the machine are very clear and easy to follow. A lot of the steps have pictures to accompany the steps to make things easier for everyone using it. I found a recipe online for a milk ice dessert (usually for popsicles) and mixed up a batch to put into the containers for the machine. Once they froze, I put one in at a time into the shaving chamber. It took a little adjusting of the shaving knob to get a steady result flowing at first. But eventually after some fiddling, I got it to a good consistency and the machine did a great job. My one con is the part of the machine that holds the ice in place does not drill/shave all of the block - it has a stopping point where you’re going to either have to discard the little bit remaining, or add another block on top. A little disappointing as there is some waste, but otherwise, the machine does the job well. I was impressed by the texture of the ice as it reminded me of the Korean shaved ice I used to enjoy in California. Now I have the means and device to make one whenever I want! Cleaning is a little tricky for the compartment that holds the ice and the top that holds the ice in place, due to the sharp areas. Exercise caution when washing carefully. Very pleased with this one!
