The Reespring ice crusher is powered by a 300W high-torque motor, offering more power than many entry-level home models. It features a cast aluminum hopper that assists with heat dissipation during extended use, and the 420-grade stainless steel blades are treated for high hardness. This design allows the unit to process roughly 143 lbs of ice per hour, making it a capable tool for preparing large quantities of shaved ice for family events.
Specifications indicate that the hopper opening measures 4.5 inches, allowing it to accommodate larger cubes from a standard freezer. The machine includes a safety interlock micro-switch on the handle, ensuring the blades only spin when the hopper is securely closed. Included with the unit is an ice pick, which is a practical tool for breaking up ice bridges that can occasionally form inside the hopper during operation.
The dual-blade centrifugal design produces a hybrid texture between shaved and crushed ice, perfect for snow cones or margaritas. Because the unit operates at 2000 RPM, it produces a noise level similar to a high-speed blender (80-85 dB). To maintain a clean kitchen environment, it is helpful to position the receiving bowl carefully to catch any ice spray and to tilt the unit slightly forward after cleaning to ensure all water drains away from the internal gaskets.
If you require a machine that is better suited for outdoor use without needing a power outlet, the Iceberg Manual Hand Crank Crusher offers complete portability.
