it holds pretty well. Although I didn't do a whole bunch of ice at the beginning. I did enough to manage my crowds as they were coming. It doesn't take long to shave though. It's very quick, so I kept the ice in the cooler.

The ice will melt in less than an hour. I would not use this unit to make ice with though because it does not produce finely shaved ice. The ice is not much more than crushed ice you can get out of some refrigerators. VERY crunchy, and not in a good way at all. This unit does however look good, so I just make a bunch of ice with a real ice shaver and fill this unit up with that ice.

I have haf mine for two or so years now and I cannot complain about the amount of time the ice melts. It will melt faster if in the sun, but we always mad ours when "ordered" lol the kids love to see the ice fall so that in itself was a treat... I am sorry, but as for an exact amount of time would be up to the weather conditions but agagin, I am very satisfied with mine! Hope this helps or you can get a better answer... :-D

We use cubes from the refrigerator Ice maker and let them soften for 10 minutes before starting the machine.

Hi, I make my ice inside so it takes about 20 min to melt unless everyone eats it quickly... I try not to make no more than what i need... I have not tried it outside in the heat yet....

Keep adding ice. You could also freeze what u make and pull out at the desired solid state

It didnt take long to defrost. I did a trial run with this product. I placed it in a foil thermal wrap with a frozen ice container. Didnt last long, but my ice container was still frozen

In general it only takes a few hours to thaw, regardless of the container. I typically didn't freeze these though, I used milk storage bags

They will get cold but will not start to freeze. It also depends on your cooler. Usually mine lasts for an hour but I have multiple sclerosis and put off alot of heat. If it's hot outside they will melt alot faster too. Your best way would be to freeze all that you have, and put them in the cooler and use them as needed.

Don't know but instructions will have you guessing until the polar ice cap melts...

its starts melting at first, and then the whole unit cools down, any ice that melts goes back into the pool of water used to make the ice. After the unit gets going, the ice melts very slowly, you won't be disappointed. If any ice melts, the unit just keeps on making ice so there is always fresh ice in the unit for when you want it.

I believe 4-nice and big,well made,cold only lasts for approx. 10 minutes though. Check out the Donjoy Ice system.

The book says it works better if you let them in the hopper for 15 + minutes. I have never had an issue. My ice comes out like a snow cone.

It only takes seconds for the machine to shave the ice. The ice will start to melt immediately, if you are outside, make those sno cones quickly! Its a great, powerful machine.

Hey Bradley, there is quite a difference in the size... I have found that the difference in the "melt time" is even bigger than the appearance. It takes a couple cycles for the large size to freeze to its max size, especially here in Florida unless I have the air conditioner very cold inside which I dont like.

About 1-2 hours no ice, and around 4-6 hours with ice added for cold drinks in 80+ degrees heat with the top on the tumbler; half those numbers in length of time without the top on in my experience. Wouldn't recommend using this for hot beverages because I would be afraid that the plastic top would melt or warp and it would be difficult to drink something hot through a straw.

I haven't used this since last summer, but I believe it took a couple of minutes for each one. You have to hand hold the ice each time.

I think it depends on the number of ice packs you use. Typically you should get about 5 to 8 hrs.

You could if you use the metal end on a hard surface . Make sure to place the ice in a waterproof nylon bag 3-5 min after taking them out of the freezer. Cheers!

Like anything else that is frozen, let it sit on the counter for 15 minutes or more, it will eventually thaw out and it will be easier to lift out. - J Allen
