## Description

desertcart.com Bring a little snow cone fun into your home or business with the Arctic Blast SnoCone machine. The hard-working Arctic Blast is equipped with a tough 1/3-horsepower, 1,725 rpm motor that can shave more than 500 pounds of cube or chunk ice per hour. Just add ice and syrup and you'll have all the snow cones you need to entertain a kids' party or make a tidy profit during the summertime months. The inside of the Arctic Blast is just as sturdy, with top-of-the-line horns, pushers, and shaver head assemblies all made of strong cast aluminum. The shave head assembly is particularly reliable, with two high-grade, adjustable, easy-to-replace stainless-steel blades that not only keep your snow cone machine looking great, but also help it last for years to come. The Arctic Ice's best feature, however, may be its classic, retail-friendly look. The cabinet is made of impact-resistant polycarbonate panels, with attention-getting graphics strategically located on the side. Other features include a safety switch to prevent accidental startups, a powder-coated paint finish that resists chipping, and a removable, food-grade plastic tray that drains moisture away fro the ice and extends shelf life.Features and Specifications:Dimensions: 16 x 14 x 24 inches Weight: 50 pounds Polycarbonate side panels and door Stainless steel and aluminum construction Easy to clean Powder-coat paint finish resists chipping Slanted drain deck Volts: 120 Watts: 635 Amps: 5.3 Product Description The Arctic Blast snow cone machine #6133310 features a 1/3 hp motor which can produce an impressive 500 lb. of ice per hour. This commercial machine is constructed from stainless steel and aluminum to ensure long-lasting durability. The tinted high impact acrylic panels are tinted blue to shade the ice from melting. A slanted drain is removable, food grade plastic and drains moisture away from the ice to extend shelf life. Include: 36 inch drain tube, durable door and a servicing scoop. You can use block ice to produce sno-cones if you first break it down into pieces 3-4 inches in size. Ice will not fit the horn if the pieces are too large.

Review: Excellent value for the money - EDIT 07/23/09: Another month and another trade event. I made approximately 500-600 snow cones at this event and the machine performed perfectly without any problems at all. This machine is certainly well built and will serve you well. I can't recommend this machine highly enough. ORIGINAL REVIEW FOLLOWS: I bought this unit for a three-day trade event and it performed perfectly. I easily made back the purchase price of the unit without issue, so the price point on this item is wonderful. The motor is strong and it crushes ice quickly if left at the factory setting. I found that the ice is a bit coarse for some people as calibrated at the factory, so I adjusted the blades to produce a VERY fine snow. The finer snow absorbs the flavorings much better than coarse ice and has a more "Italian Ice" look to it. The instruction manual for the unit does not tell you how to adjust the blades, so I will tell you now: 1. MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED! 2. Lay the unit on its side, with the door facing up. 3. Use the hex wrench that came with the machine to loosen the blade assembly set screws. This is done be reaching into the hole that the ice falls from when grinding, rotating the assembly, then finding the set screws. You will need to rotate the assembly again when the screws are loose or they will make contact when you try to remove the cutter assembly. 4. Push the cutter assembly off the shaft and into the ice chute. Be careful not to cut yourself on the sharp blades. 5. Use a flat-head screwdriver to loosen the two screws on each blade. 6. Move the blades IN to shave the ice finer or OUT for a course, crushed ice. 7. Tighten the screws and reassemble the unit. You will need to experiment a bit to get the perfect shave/crush, but it is worth it. Things to note: The ice tray does not drain very well, so you might want to prop up the end opposite the drain in order to help water flow to the drain. I also backed the drain out until the plastic portion that goes into the pan was flush with the inside of the pan in order to help it drain better. You WILL spill water all over the place when you try to clean the tray if you don't use some towels to dry it before attempting to remove it, as you have to lean the tray considerably to get the drain to come out of the case. Another suggestion is to put a plug in the drain when you are removing the tray, otherwise water will certainly pour out if you don't soak up water from it. The motor seems to be very strong and I expect it to run for quite some time. I made hundreds of snow cones without any issues and the machine performed perfectly the whole time. The product information doesn't mention it, but there is a decal on the front of the unit that says "Sno-Cones." The decal looks nice and helps advertise your product. Overall, I would give this unit an 8.5 out of 10. Highly recommended.
Review: Great Machine, Easy To Use! - We purchased this machine to use for our parties especially childrens parties. This machine is rock solid, easy to use and makes sno-cone's with ease. FYI, we never used this type of machine before and honestly it doesn't matter if you did or didn't. It's pretty self-explanatory. Just do yourself a favor and buy good syrups. We used the Hawaiian Shaved Ice brand based on various recommendations and were they a hit!! Back to the machine, Paragon makes this machine like a rock. It's very stable and solid and clean up is a breeze but similar to other reviewers if you wish to use the drainage feature (hole in the back) get a longer hose and prop up the back of the tray to allow the water to flow out the tube. Otherwise, it just collects in the tray. This was of no consequence to us as we just tipped the tray and it's such a small flaw to an otherwise great machine!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the ice melt in this machine?**
A: Yes it will if left out long enough

**Q: Our blade is getting worn. i can’t seem to find a replacement on amazon. how can i get another blade? how do i adjust blade for finer snow?**
A: try taking it to a knife sharpener or a lawn mower repair shop to sharpen blade

**Q: What is the best size ice to use? do you freeze small cartons of ice, use bag ice from the store or the half moon cubes from the refrigerator?**
A: We like to use the store bought ice bags since we usually use it for larger gatherings.  We have used freezer made ice cubes as well.

**Q: Which machine do you recommend for frequent home use, ( no commercial use ) the Arctic Blast or the Blizzard?**
A: We have the Arctic Blast and couldn't be more happy with it. We use it strictly for home use (frequent).  In looking at the differences between the 2, the Blizzard seems to have more in terms of aesthetics (light up sign) but that about it.  As far as I can tell the motor is the same.  I wouldn't pay the extra $$ for the Blizzard if it's only for home use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Machine. One Installation Tip ...
*by L***. on October 24, 2016*

Great Machine. I did an event where we were doing three or four cones per MINUTE, for hours on end. Solid! PLEASE READ PRIOR TO INSTALLING ROTATING CUTTING HEAD: As it was delivered to me, there were only two things to assemble. One: put the plastic door on the hinge. Two: install the circular cutting head (which has the two blades on it.) I noticed when I first fitted it in and tightened it down, it was touching the adjacent ice flume walls. Clearly, something was wrong. If I had run the motor in that state, undoubtedly, I would have produced metal shavings, owing to the misalignment of the cutting head - it would not have been seated properly on the drive shaft. What buyers need to know is that the drive shaft for the circular cutting head has ONE FLAT SIDE to it - the rest is circular, as you would expect a drive shaft to be. The key to not rubbing is making sure that the two screws on the circular cutting head are being screwed into the FLAT part of the drive shaft. I found it easiest to just rotate the drive shaft until the flat part was on the bottom, and then with my right hand, to slide the circular cutting head onto the drive shaft, with the screws at the bottom. Then, you ease your head into the big ice box, look up, and tighten the screws with the long hex key provided by the manufacturer. Unrelated note: I found that one Walmart bag of ice produces 30 cones.
