DOSHISHA Electric Authentic Fluffy Shaved Ice Machine DCSP-1851 (Japan Domestic Genuine Products)

Great ice shaver. It’s really an ice shaver not an ice crusher. Tastes like Hawaii.

We wanted a shave ice machine for making snow cone the lil ones, but also good enough to make bingsu for the grownups. After watching Esther Choy of Eatery, we ended up choosing the Doshisha. It has a cool look, and a price tag that seems to command quality. Did it deliver? For the most part. The blade is adjustable, and at the lowest setting, the Doshisha is capable of making snow-like ice. But this also involves having a perfectly smooth ice. You have to let it melt just a tiny bit before starting the Machine, otherwise, the blade won't catch the ice and it will just whirl around in place.Now here are a few things that makes it less than 5 stars. Firstly, looking at the pictures, the Doshisha looks like it was made out of metal or similar tough material, just like the original ice machine you'd find in Asia. Nope, it's made out of plastic. With the amount of torque, tension that's going on, I hope this $99 investment will pay itself off before it breaks. Just when I opened the top for the first time, a small plastic bit fell out. I couldn't find where it was from. So I don't think I had damaged anything, and perhaps it was just "breaking the seal" type of plastic. Secondly, you get 2 ice bowls. The machine won’t take scoops of ice cubes, so we may have to find creative ways of stocking these ice cylinders before a bingsu party. Thirdly, it's running at 100V. It is a Japanese appliance after all. So you need to spend an extra $30 or so for a good (big and heavy) step down transformer. At this point you are looking at a $150 investment between the Doshisha, the step down and a kit of Hawaiian snow cone kit.Overall, we love the Doshisha and it makes yummy snow cone and Bingsu. But it'll take quite a few servings before this investment pay off itself and hopefully the machine will last to that day.

I am so disappointed with this. Youtube channels show it works well, but in reality it does not do the job. Very poorly made with plastic.

Very good accept you cannot use it in a regular outward gotta get a inverter

I thought the consistency would be fine like snow - but was a bit disappointed. And I thought it was made of metal and not plastic.

Works perfectly and simply. The kids love it!

This makes really fine snow and I love that. The only thing is the machine feels a little flimsy. I feel like it can break easily which may not be the case at all. I just wished it was more sturdy. Overall I still love it.

Cheap product and does a really bad job shaving the ice. The machine is unable to get to the bottom of the ice block. It leaves 1/3 of the ice block unshaved. Not worth the buy

ほんとに、フワフワな氷がつくれました。高さがもう少しあれば、足つきの容器なども使いやすいと感じました。

手早く簡単に誰でも使える所が素晴らしいです。かき氷の荒さをいちよ調整できるのですが、上手く削ってくれないところもあったので満点にはしませんでした。

ふわふわのかき氷が食べたくて、デザインも子供が喜びそうなこちらを購入しました。いざ作ってみたら、氷を作るにも注意しないと平面が歪んだ氷ができてしまい、ふわふわのかき氷が作れなくなってしまいます。ふわふわを作るには刃がかなり浅くして作らないといけないので、下手したら削れなくなり結果ふわふわならぬとても小粒のかき氷になります。どうしてもふわふわのかき氷が食べたい方は、氷作りから精一杯頑張ってください。

人気商品だけあって使いやすい。少し大きいがこのサイズが使いやすさを確保しているのか？

本体がプラスティック製でイマイチ物足りないが、かき氷ができました。４～５年つてばいいのですが。
