Would you consider the ice chewable, similar to Sonic ice?

It has three size settings. Perhaps if you pick the smallest setting it might be chewable. I've never tried chewing it. On a more general note, I do like the machine, and I am glad I bought it.

Absolutely chewable, this ice made by Supentown IN-101!! My daughter is anemic and chews ice constantly; her main ice source is this portable Supentown IM-101 because the ice is easy to chew. We have used one of these machines (that was purchased in 2002) and finally had to replace it in 2011. We depend on it daily and actually purchased a new one three months ago to make sure we have a replacement if this one goes out. This machine does NOT disappoint!

Honestly I'm not sure. I live in vegas so haven't had that experience with ice here. But im sure it will just make it softer which might help

Mine finished it in 30 mins. The crunching sounds were really loud I thought he'd break some teeth! He didn't, but for $13 I think a frozen stuffed kong would be a better value chew entertainment.

I'm not sure what sonic ice is but this is only ice crusher. Does not make any smooth ice.

It's not like an ice pack material. But I guess it can be frozen to a very low temperature.it's actually made of rubber. This is a good product, you won't regret buying this :)

No. It has an insert that you microwave that is similar to an ice pack but is microwavable. This is an awesome product. I would totally recommend it. It lasts for hours.

yes. I already have. The ice packs seem to leak out over time and you are left with empty sections. I do not like that they seem fragile but I love the results of the product.

Yes indeed it works very well with ice cubes and frozen fruits. I am sure you will enjoy your use of it and find that it truly lives up and may be supersedes its advertisements.

I believe this was advertised as being able to be used "ice free"; however, I bought it as a Christmas gift for my daughter and I purchased the ice pack to go with it so she could use it either way. I know she wanted to use hers when she goes to farmers markets. If I purchased one for myself,, I would buy the ice pack, also, as extra assurance that my items stayed cold.

I would be careful about this POLAR ICE PACK. They have a good product except for the ice packs. The ice packs do not stay frozen very long. I also have a ice pack that I bought from CVS and this stay frozen much longer.

Unfortunately no, but the matching bento bag is insulated so you wouldn't need an ice pack

Yes.... It is a very durable unit. Not sure how much you are going to use it commercially. I fell in love with this unit, when I noticed a business that I frequent often bought one and not sell shaved ice. They get a lot of business for it, so I feel you should have the same similar success with it also. Hope that helped. I really love my machine.

Yes, they're just like all of the other ice packs you throw in the freezer - just a different shape that fits better into lunch bags.

The crushed ice is not the Iccee Cone soft ice. Some of the bigger pieces are a little harder. But overall, it is easy to chew the crushed ice. I really love the product and bought it for eating ice as well. I think your Mom would like it. I actually sold my Mom on getting one too because she loves to eat ice as well. Good luck!

Yes. It doesn't taste like fresh ice that way but, it can be done. I usually buy cheap food grade plastic bags at the grocery store and store the ice in the freezer. The plastic bags I buy are for homemade bread.

What residue ? Never saw any. The ice balls do tend to splinter or crack too easily, but then so do ice cubes.

I have only used the ice with my protein drinks and water. I also use shaved ice to place in my mouth when I am exercising. It also helps with cooling down and dry mouth. Remember, you are getting shaved ice.
