The Great Northern Popcorn electric shaver is a robust unit featuring a cast-aluminum hopper and a 420 stainless steel shaving blade. It is designed for high throughput, with the ability to shave approximately 6 pounds of ice per minute. The heavy base is a practical feature that minimizes movement or "walking" on the counter during high-speed operation.
The unit includes an adjustable blade that allows the user to choose between "crunchy" or "fluffy" textures, making it versatile for different frozen treats. Specifications show a 250W motor that provides sufficient power for home and light-commercial use. To maintain the aluminum hopper and stainless steel components, it is helpful to dry the unit immediately after use to protect the metal from oxidation or pitting.
Safety is supported by a lid-activated switch. To prevent mechanical strain, it is recommended to avoid over-tightening the blade adjustment screws. This unit is a durable option for those who host frequent large gatherings and need a machine that can process large quantities of ice quickly and consistently.
If you are looking for a more professional concession-grade machine with higher wattage, the Paragon Arctic Blast is a top-tier commercial choice.
