Designed with a classic aesthetic, this 64-ounce drink maker serves as both a shaver and a blender for household social gatherings. The housing is constructed from injection-molded plastic, while the large blending jar is made of BPA-free polycarbonate, known for its impact resistance. Specifications show the unit uses 400-series stainless steel blades, which provide the hardness necessary to shave ice effectively for smoothies and frozen cocktails.
Practical usability reveals that the clear polycarbonate pitcher may become cloudy over time when exposed to the high acidity found in citrus juices. Features include a spout for direct dispensing, though users should ensure thorough cleaning of the internal grooves to prevent buildup from sugary mixes. To maintain the motor's longevity, the drive coupling is engineered with a plastic interface designed to fail before the motor itself sustains damage from excessive loads.
Usage tips for best results:
- Dry the stainless steel blades immediately after washing to prevent oxidation.
- Use the pulse function for better control over the slush consistency.
- Avoid over-tightening the base to preserve the elasticity of the silicone gasket.
If your hosting needs require a machine that can produce professional-style nugget ice rather than shaved ice, consider the Iceman Pebble Ice Machine as a companion unit.
