It says it produces a "batch" of ice in 15 minutes. How many cubes is that (medium size)?

I'm not sure but I used it starting at 5pm on a very warm evening and there was still some ice in it the next morning. It kept the drinks really cool and everyone loved it and wanted one! :)

I bought it for my daugther's hirthday party, I crushed ice as i received request. The machine is pretty good, I'm not sure if the ice will hold for 3 hrs.

It doesn't make ice cubes! It is just a freezer for packaged foods. Like a cooler only it freezes and it does a fantastic job of that! We are very happy with our purchase. The only negative is that it comes with a basket to put food in but there is no bottom to it. So you have to still remove or add piece by piece.

Not much.... I still have almost a 1/2 gallon left from About 8 hours of use from last Holloween... The key ingredient is the ice.....I highly recommend Dry Ice.... You get the best effect and it lasts a lot longer than regular ice.

Oh my goodness....I'm curious why you ask?! The small individual cubes on mine measure appx .5"x.5"x.5". According to http://www.calculatoredge.com/enggcalc/volume.html#cube, that's a liquid volume of .125 cubic inches. This is unfrozen liquid.

Hi Lois. As you can see, I purchased the Ninja Master Prep Pro. It came with a large blender and 2 smaller blenders. I use one of the 2 smaller blender sizes about 98% of the time as they are a very good size for blending and chopping. The Ninja is awesome for making "snow" for drinks and snowcones. Just fill the container with ice, then 'pulse' the top blender button. Pulse for a second or two then stop. Repeat over and over again until the ice gets to the consistency you desire. I also make 'icecream' in the smaller size blender, as it is the perfect size for 2-3 people. I cut up bananas, strawberries, peaches, blue berries, etc and place in the freezer. Then I take out whatever size portion I think I need, add a small amount of 1% milk then 'pulse' until the contents turn to icecream. This is a low fat and delicious treat. Only takes about 60 seconds to blend, and then another 60 seconds to clean the blender and cutting blades. Vegetables, gotta be mor cautious when using the 'pulse' because the ultra-sharp blades will pulverize the veggies and seeds VERY fast if you don't watch what you're doing. Salsa is quick and easy, just let the blades do the chopping and blending. I have been extremely satisfied with this machine. I just don't use the large pitcher/blender part that much. The ideal set-up for purchase would be : 1 large pitcher/blender, 1 smaller pitcher/blender, and 1 "bullet shape/sized blender for individual smoothie making. THAT would be the PERFECT set-up. All-in-all, LOVE my Ninja. No problems what so ever. Easy to clean. Doesn't take up much room either. Oh, just be warned that when crushing ice, it can/will be noisy. Minor detail really. Enjoy it.I do.

depends on how cold water is, but it wasn't unusual for me to get a good 2-3 hours on medium. It gets very hot out of the water, so be careful

Matt! Can't believe I just checked it out, but it took 2 min. 30 seconds for .5 ltr. from cold. Love this pot. Just get it!

Specifying it holds 12 cubes makes it confusing. My freezer makes large cubes so it only holds half that, but it doesn't really matter. I keep my ice cubes in a container next to the machine & keep adding them as needed. The box holds a lot of shaved ice. A couple days ago I made shaved ice for 5 people. I had plenty left over & I didn't even fill the box all the way.

I have a shaved ice business and this is a great unit. I have more expensive equipment and this is just as good as them. But on this unit you can make 100 cones at 12oz, it usually takes less than 20-25 min. I have a lot of experience and can spit them out very quick and when the lines start backing up I have to step it up. I timed myself and average about 4-5 a min. But its super soft shaved ice and not the crunchy snow cone type of ice. Its what keeps people coming to my stand and away from the other stands when I set up.

I believe a few hours. just like regular ice would. :) But i bought them just for me and my boyfriend so we usually have more than enough to get new ones and trade them out if need be. But they seem to work pretty nicely....we like them! :)

A little over one inch cubed. If it were a real ice cube, you wouldn't want to put it in your mouth!!

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 have only used the medium and I think the small would be the same shape of cube probably but just smaller. I can tell you this though...usually how this thing works is that it makes the ice and when the cubes are first made they are kinda hard but by the time that the bin is more full...when you take out the cubes they are nice and soft and perfect for people like me who like to eat ice without killing their teeth. The shape of the cube is like a bullet with a hollowed out center so they are easy to chomp on if that's what you like but not too soft so that they melt right away. I let mine run all the time and it makes ice till it runs out of water and it has been working great.

I guess I'm not sure since I have never made them. The size would be bite siz. It is a harder plastic not rubber typ. The ice cubes pop out fairly easy if you don't fill all the way to the top. Only problem I have had is the ends broke when trying to get cubes out initially.

they're pretty small. I was radically disappointed. I expected an ice cube replacement. they're maybe a quarter the size of a normal ice cube. will they work in a pinch? yes. In a cooler climate? yes. On a hot summer day on your boat? hell no. mine sits on a shelf, used it once to see if it worked - haven't used it since- probably never will. complete waste of money. if shipping hadn't been 40 bucks, I would've returned it. oh, and to top it all off - it makes like 12 cubes at a time so if you aren't making ice ahead of time and putting it in a freezer there's no way it will keep up with even four people drinking any cooling required drinks - on the fly, that is.
