Designed for home use, the S700 kit focuses on providing a fluffy snow texture through a specialized dual-blade system. The chassis is built with high-impact ABS and a reinforced polycarbonate ice hopper, which helps the unit remain stable during operation. Specifications show a 55W geared motor that favors torque over high RPMs, allowing the 304-grade stainless steel blades to shave ice effectively without the shattering effect found in basic crushers.
Safety features include a hopper lid interlock that ensures the circuit is only completed when the lid is fully engaged. The materials used in all food-contact zones are rated as BPA-free, adding a layer of security for family use. Because the motor is designed for residential duty cycles, it is helpful to allow the machine to rest after preparing 15 to 20 consecutive cones to prevent heat buildup.
To extend the lifespan of the internal drive gears, tests suggest "tempering" the ice by removing it from the freezer for a few minutes before shaving. This reduces the load on the mechanical components. The kit includes syrups and cups, making it a comprehensive starter set for home events, provided it is placed on a flat, stable surface to manage operational vibrations.
For those interested in a more permanent countertop display with a vintage feel, the Nostalgia Coca-Cola machine features a specific retro aesthetic.
