Can you use it for snow cones?

I am not sure, but the flavors are great. I ask, why not? My son did add it to plain water to make juice. Hope my answer helped a bit. Good luck!!

You could but I wouldn't expect the machine to last very long doing that kind of work. If you want snow like ice I would find a machine specific to that task and you will need to pay more money for a high-end machine.

have not tried them but they may be to long. I used snow cones cups but you would have to make the rack sit higher if they are to long.I would tape some styrofom to the legs. Just and idea it really looks cute when you have cups or cones filled with treats.

Yes. I plow snow (in Utah) and use it for entrances and loading ramps that need to be clear. 1 scoop covers about 150 Sq. Ft. of commercial ice melt, but the calcium will build up on the gears so I soak it in water to clean it when it starts grinding. I also use it commercially for fertilizer in the summer and they are still in good shape after 2 years.

I don't see why not. But the legs make a nice height for kids to stand around. My grandkids love it. but right now the entire thing is buried under snow. :(

Absolutely! You can repeat the ice cubes several times to shave ice for many snow cones. It holds quite a bit of shaved ice. Worth every penny I paid!

In my opinion I don't think it is sturdy enough to handle snow. Possibly but I wouldn't try it. Maybe a light amount of salt for quick distribution if you want to try that.

I haven't tried it, but check out this website for simple and inexpensive snow-cone and slushie syrup made from Kool-Aid, sugar and water: http://www.theblackpeppercorn.com/2013/06/make-your-own-snow-cone-and-slushie-syrup/

Yes, You can use use it without the cone. You can drill a small hole and put a screw in it. That way you CAN remove it. I didn't think it was big enough deal to send it back. For the price and what I use it for it doesn't matter.

Yes, the poles are excellent for snowshoeing. They come with a pair of snow baskets.

Will only work for thin ice or snow. Thick ice and snow are surprisingly resilient and not worth the time and effort.

You pour ice into the top of the snow cone machine. So you don't necessarily need running water. You can go buy bags if ice. Unfortunately, the machine is not refrigerated so any ice in the machine would melt after a few hours.

Do not use this blind if it may snow in your area. The support poles will break.

it's primarily meant to use in the snow, I don't see how you would break it using it there. it is built pretty well.

You can, but the tracks won't work where snow and ice are present. It may not be totally weather tight.

Most definitely. That is one of the reasons I purchased this device. When my nieces visit they are able to make their own snow cones and the youngest is 7 years old. It is a very basic and simple machine but gets the job done equally as well as a power operated device.

Yes indeed, it's fine with frozen fruits. The mincing nozzle gives a thicker texture, like ice cream. The juicer nozzle makes snow, which is neat. It's not like crushed or shaved ice, it's actually the texture of snow. Make your own snow-cones or sorbet.
