How long would it take to make 100 snow cones with this machine. I would like to purchase one for our church VBS.

I cant say how long it would take... Probably longer than you'd like. Its a great machine; I own it for my kids' parties but we have never had that many people... I absolutely love it though! Hope this helps!

Hi Erin , this machine is very fast for make snow Ice. With ice load full Make ice in 30 seconds and reach to 10 snow cones.

That's actually happened to me! To the best if my knowledge, the machine doesn't produce as small and fine an ice as is needed for a proper snow cone. Melting it slightly by pouring the syrup on top causes it to melt back into chunks

You get 4 boxes, each containing 12 cones, for a total of 48 cones. They are really good if you haven't tried them. Besides ice cream, they also work well for those cupcake cones where you fill them with cupcake batter, bake, and frost to look like ice cream cones-- my GF kids (and their friends) love them!

Thanks for your post. I've been wanting to get a snow cone machine but what I really want is a SHAVED ice machine... so I know exactly what you mean.

yes, it is a powerful machine. i used it last year on about a foot of snow, cleared it with ease. great machine for the price.

It makes a very tiny cone (about a third the size of a usual one you buy out at fairs, etc.) then you must turn it off and refill it but you HAVE TO WAIT for 5 minutes in between turning it back on to make another one! I would recommend buying a much more "commercial size" maker and spending the extra money for it which is what we wish we had done!!!

Thank you for your inquiry. The Nostalgia SCC200 snow cone machine is not available in 220-240 volts and at this time we do not have an internationally compatible model to offer as a replacement.

I've found I can make a couple of cones and then I have to clean the candy build up. I can do about 15 in an hour that way. I make the. In advance if I need very many, but def not a large production machine.

From my point of view, it is more work than it's worth. All of my recipes are for 4 or 6 quart machines, so none will work with this unit. Purchased mixes don't taste as good to me as my homemade from scratch ones. No ice, no salt is true, but you have to freeze the insulated mixing bowl for a minimum of 12 hours before using it. 24 hours works better, and then refreeze the contents you don't use right away, in the bowl, so you can dispense them using the machine again. Plus, it's mostly plastic. If you drop it, it breaks and needs to be replaced. My opinion, stay with a 4 or 6 quart electric machine that lasts and produces more ice cream.

If the snow is wet and heavy it clogs up to a point where it is useless. This is a "light duty" machine only and isn't much better than shovelling. Buy a a snowblower with a more powerful motor at least 250cc. Do yourself a favour and buy a more powerful machine.

From my experience, each puck will make about two of the provided cones depending on how much you "pack" it. I have not seen any additional molds available on Amazon, only on the Hawaiian Shaved Ice website. They are reasonably priced, but the shipping cost is about four times the cost of the extra molds, so I chose not to order them. I have never reached a point where it seemed like the machine needed a rest, but the most I've made at one time is four cones.

Probably half-inch size, that is it will go through a 1/2 inch square sieve. Certainly also some smaller pieces due to the breaking up of the original cubes. Running the batch through again breaks some of the larger pieces. A lot of smaller pieces and water results. Not snow cone sized.

It took two of us about an hour. Having two is very helpful. Follow the directions carefully and you should have no problem. We really like this machine. It gets used 7+ tmes a week. No complaints after 8 months.

Hello, as it's just my wife and I, we only put in about 2-3 ice cubes to make enough for us. But I've seen her load it up for the grand kids, and she can get about 5 or 6 8oz paper cone cup sized snow cones. But you don't have to stop there, this thing will churn out all the ice you have in the house, and then some. This is a quality piece of equipment, and if you've got kids or grand kids, buy it with confidence. It works great. I also looked on line, and I don't remember, where as it was about a year and a half ago, but I also purchased spare blades. In summary, I paid about $125.00-$150.00 for it and I feel it is a was a good purchase. Good luck Hello, as it's just my wife and I, we only put in about 2-3 ice cubes to make enough for us.

We use at home only. We have 7 kids and when dad starts making snowballs as a treat, they really love it. Seems to also draw a crowd and people start showing up. It does put out a lot of snow cones in a short period of time. Glad we purchased this product

It should make ice over a long day but it won't be as fast as your home freezer by far. I had thought of how to get cold drinks iced as well and came up with this solution. Try using popscicle maker molds. I kept popscicles frozen for days. You may need to pre-make them,though. Cheers.
