Waring 12-c. Professional Ice Crusher, Brushed Stainless.

This product has lived up to my expectations for a Waring appliance. Keep in mind it is a "crusher" and not a "shaver". It will not produce finely shaved ice, but will produce very good quality crushed ice. The ice it produces is just the right size-not too big, but not so small that it melts too quickly. My only small gripe is, it would have been nice to have a cover for the chute.

We have been looking for an ice crusher for years and finally someone is making one! This is a great product - it crushes ice so easily and quietly. Highly recommended, can't say enough about it!

I've owned about 7 ice crushers in the last ten years. Every single one has been horribly noisy and has come apart within 18 months. Mostly because of plastic and cheap metal parts breaking, some even throwing the broken pieces into the crushed ice. This is the first heavy duty machine I've found for daily home use. Also, it is quiet. The others sounded like rock crushers. Also, this is the ONLY machine that completely hides the blades making them inaccessible and safer.
