Question: Does this machine come with a safety shield as referenced in some on the reviews ?
Document: The nice thing is that I am still using the original blade that it came with. It is the only machine that I can count on to work all the time. Yea there may be no shield and it had a small screw come loose on the bottom of the brass plate when I first got it, but those problems are very minor compared to some of the problems that I have had with other machines.
I love this machine it was everything I expected. I will have a shield custom made for safety reasons. Otherwise this machine is perfect. I made some blocks of ice and the snow this machine produced can only be duplicated by mother nature.
The shaver makes GREAT tasting ice. The one huge downfall is that the blocks of ice can (and will) go flying off the machine. The ice blocks can crack and pieces fly- very dangerous, especially for small children. Many other machines have a safety sheild, but I haven't been able to find one for this model. If the manufacturer would come out with a safetly sheild, this would be the PERFECT machine.
In absolute fairness, I will say that the ice block I tested did shave and produced very fine snowy-powdered ice, but I thought the machine was going to shake itself apart and several pieces of ice broke free and flew across the room - No safety shield to prevent this. Definitely not worth the money I shelled out and I returned it after only one test run. Not a Commercial-Grade machine in my opinion.
Just be aware that if your blade is warm and you put an ice block on the blade, the block crakes and if you try to use it, it will fling a chunk or chunks of ice at you or anyone standing near by because it doesn't have a safety shield and the blade doesn't move... the ice spins.
We love ours! The shaved ice is much better with this than the small cheap (Rival) one we had before. Our family can't wait for it to be summer so we can use it more often. The only negative thing I have to say about it is the lack of any type of safety shield.If space is an issue in your kitchen, make sure you pay attention to the size description.
After reading few of the reviews, I used two different size oval contain to make the ice,  I also purchased a foot pedal and a shield protector  (the&#34;atsuyuki HF 700&#34;  from hypothermias.com), They haven't arrive as yet, but when they do, I will give a review as to if they fit and work...Pros----shaved ice fastSome of the Ice were fine and soft.
There isn't much in terms of instructions- the machine has only three knobs that you attach to the side so you can turn the knob and lower the clamp to hold the ice in.Then you turn the machine on and adjust the blade to make the ice come out as thin or as chunky as you want. After making shaved ice already 3-4 times, I have learned a couple things:1.
I've purchased two of these machines (yes I am a sucker) and they BOTH broke down on me. I originally thought the first one I purchased was just a dud, however after falling victim to this &#34;commercial&#34; ice shaver, I have come to the conclusion that this machine is NOT commercial and is a very poorly made, cheap piece of crap (excuse my language).
Truly great machine for the price. Makes fine shaved ice. Needs a shield and a stronger body frame because the plastic is to soft.
Answer: Mine did not, so you have to be careful with putting the ice on right because it will fly off if you do it wrong, so you have to be careful.
