Does this machine make clear and I mean clear ice cubes?

When it is first dispensed no. Depends on the water. When I use purified water they are clear when in the cup with water. Tap water they aren't clear.

It does if you use filtered water but the cubes will only be as clear as the water you put in it

One commenter stated something about mold, most water has minerals in it and it also has other things depending on the source, all icemakers need to be cleaned periodically even that big commercial machines, customers are just not aware of what comes out of the commercial machines so cleaning your icemaker periodically is a necessity.

I would be curious to know that answer as well. The machine meets every expectation that i had for a shaved ice machine. Hope you are enjoying your ice machine as well.

I have used cube ice and small blocks of ice and still get the same result. It has a good grinder on it. You just can't over fill it or it won't grind the ice.

No, but be sure there is not a filter in the filter holder. Once it is to dirty it won't work for ice or water.

Just so you know, I adore this machine! OK, your question. Just ice cubes. The trick is you fill the ice cube tray and wait 20min. to make the drinks. Perfect consistancy every time!!

Yes, the ice is clear unless you have a lot of air in your tap. Then it will freeze whiter with the bubbles.

To operate, place cubes in top hole, position cup in front, push button on top, bam, shaved ice. It isn't vintage Snoopy bs.

No mine are very cloudy. Not clear at all. I tried tap water, bottled water and distilled water. All are cloudy and only last about 30 minutes, not hours.Not worth the trouble.

We do not use this machine outdoors. It is installed in our basement. It make square cubes with an indent in the top of it. They do not have a hole all the way through the ice cube. It is working great for us. Hope this info helps.

Yes it picks up 2 cubes if you are adept. Tongs are small. I prefer using my scope-easily picks up all the ice I want.

Yes, but it only makes a very small amount of slushy, and the cubes can leak easily. I would invest in a Slush Mug instead. I have this and the slush Mug and I like the slush mug better. :)

Not sure I use this on my sink for drinking water and it removes the foul taste in the water soy guess would be it would give you clear ice

In my case, they were not. This has nothing to do with the mold itself, however, which created nice spherical ice balls. They need a little trimming when they're first removed from the mold to remove the excess ice... just rub them a bit. I googled how to make clear ice and found several promising suggestions, however, none of them produced crystal clear ice. The most successful one called for distilled water that you boil twice before freezing. These were fairly clear, but still had some tiny bubbles.
