Product review (2 stars): Depends on your cube size
I like the design, however the material the crushing arms are made of are too soft and bend over to get caught on the stationary crushing arms almost ever time I use it. I think this may have to do with the size of the cubes or possibly the hardness of the ice. I have resorted to leaving the top of the machine unfastened so that I can quickly turn off and unclog the machine and straighten the blades and get back to crushing (with needle nose pliers) I probably would have returned this after first use had I purchased it from a store that stood behind its sales.
