Kakigori machine Live

We have only used the machine once and had to order extra plastic ice pucks (2 pack of small size). Because I don’t read or speak Japanese very well, it was helpful that English directions were included. Two things that I wish were in English is how to clean the machine after use and the adjustment of the blade to make the ice finer or coarse. We will try it again to see if we can make the ice more fine- the default seems to be a more snow cone-like texture. I am also concerned that the parts are all plastic except for a few components, so I am hoping it does not break easily. It is very lightweight. Last note, we had a hard time figuring out how to get the ice pucks out of the mold - not sure if there are English directions for that. We just ran room temp water over it and then used a butter knife to pop it out but I am wondering if there is a better way to do that. As we are in the middle of a heat wave right now, having an icy treat was awesome for my kids!

I didn't expect much from this machine but kids really enjoyed using it. You can store it easily and shipping was fast. Good experience.

Kids are using it in summer. It doesn't take space and it's quite funny to use.

I use this one for outside. Perfect for a quick kakigori or for our cocktails.
Better to have a lot of ice plastic bowls if you want to make a large amount.

Compact and easy to use and store
