How fast will it fill an empty basket with ice?

Ice starts being made in a few minutes but it will probably take an hour for the basket to fill

Probably, but a blender would be a better way to go on for ice. This is more for dry food and sauces.

It depends on how much pressure you apply and how good your ice cubes are. It is adequate for the snow cones I make to sell.

The opening is roughly 2" wide. ice will fit but probably with the help of a small scoop or cup.

I have my doubts it would have enough power to mix anything with ice involved.I ended up donated my blender to a charity. Not of any use for making protein smoothies with frozen berries either!

Yes, the machine stops and displays a red light on the front to let you know when it's full. It will not make more ice until the ice bin is emptied.

The ice is about the size of a playing marble...maybe a little bigger, with a hole through the center. I hope this helps.

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.

A full sized bottle of Martinellis takes up the entire bucket, no room for ice at all. You may want to order one, like I did, to see if it is workable for what you're envisioning. I saw that they were too small for what i wanted to do so i went with another idea. Your idea is very cute, by the way!

I have not tried to crush ice, I am not sure it would work for that as the instructions say only to use in 30 second bursts. I have used it for chopping veggies very fine and it works great for that.

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....

I am not using it, it made great ice cubes quickly. However I used it indoors, and my kitchen requires an internal pump to drain. This unit uses gravity drain. I don't now about outdoors, depends where you live and is it covered. We have a second house which the kitchen needs remodeling and plan to use it there. For the money it works great much faster than our old one. Just no internal pump.

No I don't think it will work well. Basically this item works by filling it with some water and then displacing the water up the sides with the inner bucket. Get the OXO no spill covered ice cube tray instead.

It takes a couple of hours to freeze, but if you out the dry ice into a cooler with this it probably would. The real question is why not use the dry ice?

Using pump with no ASO. Pressure generally between 30 to 35 psi. Can now make ice with pump.
