Time for Treats VKP1226 Iceberg ice crusher, 5 cups, white

It is working okay, Started to get rusty after a while.

No para hacer hielo frappé, es hielo picado , muy útil en coctelería y fácil de guardar.

The Suction is actually great and makes it much easier to use ! So far this has been fantastic and i highly recommend it ! It does need force to crush ice, so its not really smooth to crush but it is what I expected !

I have tried quite a number of different options to get simple "crushed" ice. Absolutely EVERY SINGLE THING that was "powered" that I have tried -- blenders, choppers, whatever -- resulted in "snow," not "crushed" ice. And there are a lot of other crank-handle ice crushers similar to this that really won't get the job done -- such as ones that don't have proper suction cups to secure them to a counter top. This is BY FAR the best and most reasonable option I have found to get crushed ice, given that I can't find a local source to "buy" it from, nor do I have a water supply on the side of my kitchen where the refrigerator goes, so getting a refrigerator that dispenses crushed ice is not an option. So, I'll have to do it myself -- by hand, with one of these. Will you break yours, if you get one? Well, that's not a "defect" with the product -- that's "operator error." "Just don't break yours." Easily said, but a bit more difficult to do. I have broken two of them, in a similar manner that you can see in some of the pictures -- those plastic "teeth" that the blades go through WILL break, if you force things too forcefully. So, "be careful," and just stop and turn the handle the other way, when a chunk of ice won't "break" given the moderate force you shouldn't exceed. I use rather small ice cubes, and after recently breaking my second unit, I'm trying some things like "letting the ice sit out for some amount of time to perhaps soften," before starting a crushing session. Still, even if you break one of these on a yearly basis, that's not an extreme expense, compared to most of the other alternatives -- alternatives that most likely won't work very well if it's "crushed ice" you want. And that's why I have given this five stars -- I have found NOTHING else that will yield properly crushed ice, short of perhaps some giant commercial thing that I wouldn't be able to fit on my kitchen countertops. This is a proper tool for the job. Just be careful with it, and wash it properly each time you've finished using it.

Excelente compra, fácil de usar
