パール金属(PEARL METAL) D-1323 Shaved Ice Cube, 幅210×奥行175×高さ315mm, black (black 19-3911tcx)

I’ve been using this ice shaver for about two years now, and I can confidently say it’s been a great purchase. Not only is it absolutely adorable in design, but it also performs exceptionally well and has held up reliably over time. Made in Japan, the quality really shows. It shaves ice smoothly and evenly, creating a light, fluffy texture that makes shaved ice especially delicious. It feels safe to use, sturdy, and well designed, which gives me peace of mind when using it regularly. One of my favorite aspects is that it’s completely manual. There’s no electricity required, which makes it simple, dependable, and easy to use anywhere. The shaving process itself is surprisingly enjoyable—the sound it makes while shaving ice adds to the fun and makes the experience feel almost nostalgic. Overall, this ice shaver has been a joy to own. It’s reliable, well-made, fun to use, and consistently delivers excellent results. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, high-quality ice shaver that produces perfect shaved ice every time.

I don’t recommend using it with ice cubes. With the provided ice mold it came out pretty good. The kids love it. Plus it is very adorable looking! Only wish it would come with a few more of those ice molds. But we found Chinese take-out containers work well enough!

Work very well! I do think the blade as dulled some and I wish there was a way to sharpen it but my entire family did love it. The penguin is also super cute.

Bought this because the listing was inexpensive (especially compared to machines), it's cute, and it's my first ice shaving machine so I was willing to get something imperfect. With those expectations, I'm pretty satisfied. It does the job pretty well. You get good, fluffy shaved ice easily and quickly. I personally did not find it needed a lot of effort to use most of the time. And, of course, the novelty design genuinely brightens up the kitchen! Even before I used it, I was happy to have bought it. But there are some drawbacks. Maybe this is normal for ice machines, but the press seems to be just short enough that it can't grip the last 1/2 centimeter of ice to push it into the blade. Even though it's just ice, it feels like a waste. It also makes ice cubes really annoying to use. The machine isn't heavy enough on the bottom to stay put with even light grinding, and it shook so much while grinding ice cubes that the beak fell off. You have to exert more effort in holding it still than in grinding it, but its shape is inconvenient to hold down firmly enough from any angle. All in all, I really don't recommend using ice cubes even though the packaging says you can. A flat-bottomed disc of ice from the included ice cup is definitely the best option. Only one cup is included but even filling it halfway will give you 2-4 servings. It's approximately 8.5cm in diameter to make a disc that is slightly smaller than the machine holds. The machine can hold a disc up to approximately 10cm in diameter, so I believe cups sold for other machines (like the Kakigori company's) should make compatible ice but I can't confirm. Cleaning it is not especially convenient, but it's not difficult and ice shaving is not a messy process. Plus, it feels sturdy enough to put up with how much it shakes and it doesn't really have internal parts to break. Make sure you have a small enough bowl to fit into it due to its design. Again, a 10cm wide bowl no more than 10cm high should work. You could even use the included ice cup if you really wanted to. Overall, shaved ice is simple and I'm happy enough with this machine. But if you're serious about your shaved ice, there's other options.

Works very well! Durable! Super fun for kids to make their own shaved ice. You can just throw ice cubes in there.

It feels pretty sturdy. And quick tip, the kitchen aid ice shaver cups fit this product! So just order a pack of those and you have more ice pucks to make more than one serving!

Cheaply made.

I have had this for a few years and it has done well. My son love penguin and it's fun to make shaved ice with a penguin. It looks just like the picture. Not great for a making a lot but it's perfect for a personal treat. We use store bought ice and it works well. Not sure how ice cube make at home will do.

子供が年がら年中かき氷を食べたがるので買いました。専用の製氷カップも付いていて使いやすいです。かわいくて子供も大喜びです！、

孫が喜んでます。

とても良かった。氷がスムーズに削れる。

音デカいでした

人用では無く愛犬が毎日楽しみにしてる ムネ肉を茹でたスープのかき氷を毎日作る為に購入しました。以前は某100均で購入した物を使用してたんですが、いつか刃が欠けるんじゃないかと言う不安がいつも付きまとっていましたがこちらの製品は安心の「日本産」のパール金属さんの製品なのですが価格も安く、この価格で手に入れた「安心感」は 非常に大きく満足してます。
