Adjustable depth is nice, can shave super thin or make thicker crumblier ice. Works with ice cubes from the freezer. I'm sure this requires a lot of torque but it's so so loud and overwhelming to use. It genuinely feels like a piece of heavy machinery. I expected heavy duty blender loud but this is like gas powered lawn mower loud and shakey.And the bowl it comes with is pretty small and insufficient if you're making multiple snow cones. Also not insulated. It would be nicer if it came with a larger and more insulated bowl to catch the shavings so you could make multiple snowcones at once.Otherwise it's great, has worked through multiple uses and seems to withstand at least a gallon of ice at a time (haven't had need to run it for longer) it doesn't struggle at all.
