How much ice doe the hopper hold?

I would say the top hold 4 x 4 x 4 inches of ice, which makes about 2 12 oz cups of shaved ice.

I use a huge xl "Sheetz" cup and it will hold all of it. Or about 2 ice trays..or about 2- 2 1/2 red party cups.

I was disappointed with the ice hopper. Filling the hopper to the top makes it jam. I had to hand scoop the ice back out of the hopper and got melting ice everywhere. It does a great job when the shaver spins, but DON"T fill it to the top. You would think they could add a little more power for the price.

2 to 3 ice scoops .. depending on the size of your scoop .. enough for 1 to 2 servings (snowcone cups). Lid has to close completely to satisfy the safety interlock.

The Machine will hold the equivalent of a 24 ounce cup. If you fill any size cup or container of to and including 24 oz., the shaved ice will fit into that size cup plus a crown of ice above the top lip.

I threw mine away because it got black mold under the lid but I would it holds 52 oz so at least 4 cans plus ice

Hello! Yes indeed! I just had ice under about 10 inches and similar a few times over and is smoothly breaks through and easily carries dozens of pounds of snow ice mix to wherever you want to slide and dump it! Ames True Temper is an AWESOME company I had an unrelated sand shovel develop a crack I emailed them a photo and in 3 days they sent me a brand new shovel! Don't choose a JUNK company Ames True Temper has been around for MANY decades! God Bless in Jesus name!!

The ice cubes are about1 inch square. The nice thing is that they freeze in 2 hours.

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

Adam Kruger's answer is precisely correct. Additionally, the hopper holds enough beans for a 12 cup drip coffemaker - and maybe just a little bit more.

I checked this out in my kitchen just now, and it seems the capacity is just about 1/3 cup. The clear window segment of the device is the actual "hopper" space.

Specifying it holds 12 cubes makes it confusing. My freezer makes large cubes so it only holds half that, but it doesn't really matter. I keep my ice cubes in a container next to the machine & keep adding them as needed. The box holds a lot of shaved ice. A couple days ago I made shaved ice for 5 people. I had plenty left over & I didn't even fill the box all the way.

I'm not sure how to measure ice in quarts, but this ice bucket holds about 3 and a half quarts of water. I have used this bucket at least a dozen times now and am extremely happy with it.

Hold approximately one gallon of water , which makes alot of ice. The ice maker will indicate when more water is needed by displaying a red light.Than just pour in more water til the light goes out. Hope that was helpful. Enjoy your portable ice machine.

38 degree is not too cold. After checking the obvious (timer and battery), I would double check your connection inside the hopper. I use a thin zip tie to hold my connection inside the hopper to ensure that connestion doesn't come apart. I've had that problem with the connection coming apart inside the hopper on my first one.

I fill the hopper for one pot, and the drawer holds about half the grounds. I empty the drawer once during grinding.

It's well built, but then again, I only make 2 or 3 at a time. It's never jammed on me and I have filled it to the top, but the last ice cube will always freeze itself to the metal tray.

It depends, if you empty the bin into baggies or another bin for freezing its around a gallon size bag, if you leave the ice in the bin and don't remove it the ice will build up until the light indicating the ice is full lights up and its probably a little more than a gallon baggie. I myself leave the ice in the bin and use it straight from the machine and what ever ice does not get used melts and is refrozen into more ice, this way I don't have to fill the water constantly.

21" and we had the same problem. Only holds ice about 2 hours an then you need more. Not real efficient.

depends on the hopper i use a .68 cal 40 rd hopper and it holds around 80 .50 cal paintballs so if you get a standard 200 rd hopper than you could almost hold a whole bag

I don't know the exact amount in milliliters, but area-wise, each square holds liquid almost equal to the size of a sugar cube... a full tray yields a little over three 8 oz cups of ice. I would suggest buying 4 trays to get a good amount of ice from each freezing.
