The ice pieces are not very fine.  If you are looking for that real snow cone texture this is not the machine to get.

Not really designed too well. I found myself hitting my truck with the ice scrapper when brushing off the snow. It would be better if the scrapper was turned the other way. Looks awesome.

Looking at the snow outside.  It's 18 degrees F and I have these things in my lap as I write this.  I think a tear is forming in the corner of my eye.  Many more months of cold weather here.

Looks good but not your best bet for those  very cold days

I researched toddler boots, read all the reviews on Amazon, and chose these Sorel boots, trusting Sorel's good name.  Our daughter wore them outside for the first time in about 3 inches of snow today (about 25 F degrees outside in northern Massachusetts). She was outside for 15 minutes and when I took her boots off  when she came in, her feet were quite cold.  What is the problem with these boots? One guess: the felt liner inside is not thick enough to stop the cold that is being conducted by the thick rubber outside of the boots, which actually seems to bring the cold INSIDE the boot.  The rubber on the outside (very visible in the photos)  is important for the waterproofing and good grip, but it seems to make the inside of the boot very cold-- just a guess.  There should be an additional barrier between the felt liners and the outside of the boots.  I am very disappointed by this purchase-- either I have been sent  a defective boot (in that it does not even come close to the -25 F rating on the tag attached to the boot) or there is a problem with this particular boot overall that is not being noticed by others.

I purchased this jacket for a good deal (not in Amazon) and felt compelled to write a review.
The jacket is not going to provide warmth in sub 50F degree unless you have 1 or 2 layers underneath.
For temperature below freezing, you will need a warmer winter jacket.
The jacket looks good but the feel isn't exactly what I expected from North Face.
The arm holes are kind of narrow and when you bend your elbow, you don't feel any flexibility nor elasticity.
I end up returning the item because I felt I was paying too much (even at the good deal I received from the vendor).

Works well on powder snow.  Not so good on heavy crusty snow

I love the big spheres of ice.  They don't come out perfectly spherical as the two halves don't completely touch.  Your left with a sphere with an equator.  But hey, you cant beat the price.

Some parts are missing I had to improvise to fix it. And the snow works sometimes and sometimes doesnt . I will not purchase from that company.

First of all, I have to say this. This is not a snowboard.
It is not going to glide over pile of snows like a snowboard.
It will duck into the snow unless the snow is frozen like ice.
Yes.. I'm telling you. This is not a snowboard.
Then, what is the point? it looks cool looking. That is it.
Yes, I wasted my money for this half-sled.

Not sturdy enough for heavy snows of northern New England.

I bet this is really, really warm and I probably would have kept it if I lived in Siberia.  But I don't, so I returned it because it doesn't look as good as it would need to for me to justify the cost.  The shape is not as flattering as it looks in the pictures and the military green color is not as brown/green.

I had a set of these from several years ago, same make, etc., but these are molded differently and do not look as much like real icicles. From a distance, they are fine.

Last winter, we had record setting snow storms nearly every two days. When I purchased this shovel, I had a lot of hope for it. Unfortunately, these hopes were dashed. Now it's a good shovel, don't get me wrong. But if you live in one of these states that tend to get a lot of snowfall, it won't be of much use for you.

Pros
-Good to clean walkways and other small areas.
-Good for very light snowfall, below 4 inches.

Cons
-It's non-directional. It only throws snow straight ahead.
-There's only so much you could do with it. If the snowfall is above 4-5 inches, kiss this goodbye.
-It requires an extension cord, that you have to purchase eparately.

Conclusion: If you live in warm states where snowfall is light, this might help you out. Otherwise, consider more practical options.

This de-icer was working fine when the winter was mild.  However, once we started getting sub-freezing temperatures and lots of snow, it died!  I would not recommend it.

We bought a very similar model locally (see customer photos above).  It looks nice sitting in the car, and worked ok for a while on light fluffy snow, but when it got heavy and wet, and the ice got thick, it fell apart.  I see this is quite inexpensive.  It appears you get what you pay for in this case.
Note - the Amazon model is different than the one that broke, so perhaps Hopkins has improved this model.  But be careful how you use it.

I don't know if we're doing something wrong or what.  The slush doesn't seem to thicken up like the pictures and commercials.  Ice crystals form, and it gets a little slushy.  The kid seems happy with it.
