When the sun comes out, the fun ends and our goal is to make this summer worth it. But this one was a killer! While turning on the air conditioning is one way to make the heat more bearable, we prefer to neutralize it with a cool treat. Sure, ice cream is, well, delicious, we’re thinking of the cool blast of crushed ice to lower your body temperature. No shaved ice stores in your neighborhood? No problem! You can make your own at home with a Hawaiian Shaved Ice Maker from Amazon and it’s now on sale for just $55.
Simple and efficient, this gadget delivers a tasty treat in seconds.
Why is it a good deal?
When it’s hot outside, anything you can throw down your throat with the word “ice” in it is necessary. Having access to this type of treatment 24 hours a day is priceless, but since Amazon is offering it at a discount, we’ll happily pay the price.
Why do I need this?
If there’s one thing everyone needs in the summer, it’s a cold treat — but not everyone likes froyo and ice cream. For those of us who aren’t in the mood for dairy, fluffy shaved ice is the dish we like served chilled. This shaved ice machine keeps the process steady. Simply pour water into the special molds that come with the machine and then place them in the freezer. Once the ice is solid, you take it out (they look like hockey pucks) and place one in the base of the machine. Inside the base is the blade that scrapes the ice and when you put the lid back on, connect and press the top, it starts to scrape and dispenses the fluffy ice into whatever cup or cone is waiting for it. To serve, simply squirt your favorite flavored syrup over the snowball.
This little machine is compact enough to sit on the counter without taking up too much space, but it also fits perfectly in cabinets.
What the reviewers say

Pros
“As a diabetic, I don’t think it’s worth buying an ice cream maker to make homemade low carb ice cream,” wrote one happy shaver. “But shaved ice is just crushed ice and syrup, and I’ve tried several sugar-free syrups that taste great. So I went for it. It was a great idea! It couldn’t be easier to use. Just put in your ice, push down to shave it and add your syrup. I’ve also used it to make dog cups for my dogs. They get a small bowl of shaved ice with some whipped cream on top and they’re happy little dogs, no need to go to one. coffee shop. I know the pup cups are free, but I don’t want to leave the house in 100 degree weather!
“My husband has been asking for a ‘snow cone maker’ since he was a kid,” said one loving wife shared. “I got him this for his birthday, and he was ESTATIC. He uses it every day, multiple times a day.”
“It’s a tasty, calorie-free snack (if it has a sugar-free flavor) and also provides hydration,” shared one experienced shaver. “I’ll get a cup of this instead of chips and it’s practically a free snack.
I put Gatorade on ice the first time, but you can use whatever you want.”
Cons
Some buyers say the sound it makes isn’t exactly music.
“It’s a little noisy with the ice grinding, but the result is worth it,” wrote one customer who called it “perfect summer treat.”
“I use this every night,” shared another buyer. “Easy to use. The only downside is that it makes noise, but that’s what I expected with it for shaving ice!”
