No, we don' t have snow and ice here so haven't tried it but it burns plants so it should melt ice.

I love the wovel, it is an excellent tool...HOWEVER...I think the ice attachment is a bad idea. The way my wovel is put together (bent steel handles attached at the stem by bolts) caused me to break a handle at the bolts when using the ice tool attachments...unless they have changed the way the handle attaches, like I suggested in 2009, using the attachment will eventually break one or both handles.

You know what? I've only used the ice block a couple of times. We're always in a hurry to have some shaved ice so we use ice cubes (ice maker) from our freezer. We just open the top and throw the ice cubes in there. It works well for us. We love this machine. The quality of the shaved ice is nice. I have learned to put a little empty cub under the opening after we are finished to catch any remainders of melting ice. We don't have to clean it up that way. Hope that helps!

Haven't tried it but looking at the soft liner I would think it would eventually leak because of the seams. Try putting the ice in ziplock bags doubled up.

I only had issues once and this was due to the snow and ice mixture. The other times it cut right through the snow. Once you get one strip done you can usually get some traction.

That is what I primarily use it for. I have a rather large 2-tiered deck. Although it didn't clear it right down to the wood, it did clear enough off for me to be able to walk around. Since it cleans all but about a 1/4 of an inch of snow off the deck, I would say no to it damaging the wood.

The one I tried did not shave or chop the ice. It was very loud. I would not recommend it for slushies.

I used the ice pack on the palm of my hand. Since the ice pack is remove able you have options.

I have not used it yet. It was recommended to me for the sliding doors on my van, so will use it just before winter. Sorry

I've used it for removing them. You need to put moleskin or something around the tag as the blast of cold freezing air can be rather large. Works fine though...............

sorry. I have not tried that. I actually cleaned the sidewalk and then sprayed it separately with a 50/50 water/bleach solution. The attachment worked really well, though. It tremendously lessened the time it took me to clean the sidewalk!

It works, depends on how wide your stairs are. I own this to ease the work on my back, so. Sometimes it is easier to use a strawbroom, or shovel, but when it's deep (like we had in the NE this past winter) you can use it to clear a path. It can be a bit of a pain, but better than the alternative (shovel push down create bigger pile to move or push sideways). I use this sideways to create a path and use a shovel for clean up near the railings, middlish to the right and then middlish to the left.

no! it doesn't really work. save your money. a blender that crushes ice will work much better.

Yes. I plow snow (in Utah) and use it for entrances and loading ramps that need to be clear. 1 scoop covers about 150 Sq. Ft. of commercial ice melt, but the calcium will build up on the gears so I soak it in water to clean it when it starts grinding. I also use it commercially for fertilizer in the summer and they are still in good shape after 2 years.

I only used it once on the sidewalks. My dog passed away. I still have it I received two small dogs so I will see how it works on our dirt roads now.

It does not work well. There is basically a blade on the bottom and the top part pushes the ice onto it. When the blade is not "shaving" a smooth surface like the ice pucks make it not work well (makes ice slowly and it's not fluffy). It also has trouble turning a bunch of ice that is in pieces instead of the puck from the included ice trays.On the other hand, each ice tray can make 1 giant snowcone or 2 normal sized snowcones. Usually my little sister (6) will only finish 1/2 an ice puck's amount of shaved ice.

It will definitely break ice. Be careful how hard you swing it though...I've left marks on my asphalt driveway with it before.
