RELEXNOW 88oz Slushie Machine for Home

Update 04/19/25: I want to note that my earlier original review below is actually for the Reemix Ice Crusher Model BH9269 which is red and white and made out of plastic, not the ice crusher that is shown in the posting now. Original review: Simple materials and design pretty much make this a no brainer to operate! Simply remove the clear lid/top, fill the chamber with ice being a little careful of the sharp blade in the front of that chamber, put the lid/top back on and twist it slightly counterclockwise to lock and start the ice automatically being slusheed! When there's enough ice for your beverage, simply turn the lid/top clockwise slightly and the machine automatically stops. Don't even need to press a button or anything. It's so simple! I didn't think to measure the ice as I was putting it in, but I'm guesstimating that the machine holds about 1 1/2 cups of ice at a time, could be slightly more. It is fairly loud but not crazy loud. I didn't end up with any water that dripped during or after the fact, but I am getting a lipped silicone mat to put underneath these in an abundance of caution. I actually used a large, wide-mouthed mug and held it up closer to the ice chute than one of the included sno cone holders would reach, and it turned out perfectly; the ice went into the mug and stayed there, though it was a little awkward turning the large mug so that the ice didn't overflow on one side. Anyway, kids will love the sno cone holders. I wanted MORE so used the larger mug. :)
