from murphy, nc on 9/7/2010
Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
I had to return the original product as it quit working after a few minutes of use. Seems to have a safety switch, that if ices jams, unit stops and U have to jiggle machine and/or repeatedly wiggle on/off swithch to restart. This replacement unit has done the same thing but has restarted. For price, I am not comfortable with this glitch in its performance and I don't even know if it should be happening. Also, can't load hopper with ice but have to feed it one cube at a time which is lousy.
Should this unit be returned, also?
If you are not happy with the item you can return it within 30 days. Please contact our Customer Service Department for assistance.

Product is as advertised and described. Resulting crushed ice is as one would expect at an upscale restaurant.

Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
Works well. Had another brand (Deni) that was similar in apperance, it only lasted a month, the blades bent & jammed, I tried to straighten the blades & it would crush 1 or 2 cubes & jam again. I hope this one lasts longer

I am extremely impressed with this home ice crusher. It is easy to use, easy to clean, crushes great ice and is not so loud as to be irritating.

Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
Great ice crusher. Easy to use, ice cubes don't jam in the chute. I have used it every day since receipt of the machine, sometimes twice a day. Attractive appearance. The only con is the size. I would have preferred it to be a little smaller.

I LOVE crushed ice...embarassed to admit that is the main reason I purchased it. It is also great for chilled food during time of entertaining too, drinks etc.
from Warren, OH on 1/26/2009
Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
Unit appears to be very well made. Doesn't even slow down when fed ice to crush. However, the chute is fairly small and must be attended to almost constantly. Unit is tall with chute attached and will not fit under cabinets when sitting on the counter. Keep in mind, this is our FIRST machine of this type and may be superior to others on the market. We simply have nothing to compare to.

Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
Use it every day. Perfect bite size pieces; no slush. Except for size, machine is identical to ones you've used at restaurants, hospitals, etc. Chose this machine because of good reviews and I was not lead astray.
from Cape Coral, FL on 10/14/2008
Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
I read many reviews on ice crushers and decided on this one. I love crushed ice and use a lot of it. I have used this ice crusher everyday since I got it and it works great! The ice comes out in probably around 5/8" or smaller pieces. Sometimes some pieces are a little larger. I would have liked the ice to be a little smaller but I think, for the money,this machine is the best one I could have chosen. I would buy this machine again.

Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
I loved crushed ice in beverages on hot days.
Yeah, I 'd like a smaller piece , but this just does just fine and the appearance is attractive enough to just leave out.

Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
I like crushed ice-not cubed. This does a great job at chopping up the ice into perfect little chunks! Plastic container for ice storage works well too.
Well packaged. Prompt delivery.
from Ohio on 9/8/2008
Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
My husband loves the ice you get at certain restaurants because of its size and how it is crushed. So, for his birthday, I purchased this item for him. Now we make our own crushed ice and it couldn't be easier or more useful! He was elated about the gift, and although I thought the price was kind of steep, it is well worth the cost for the good quality product that cuts the ice just the way he likes it!
Order from this company for very prompt processing and shipping! Super!
from Worthington Oh on 8/4/2008
Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
In the morning I crush up enough ice to fill the ice container and then scoop out what I want, this lasts me for two days. This is a great product and I am so glad I found it. The ice is larger than some of the other brands of ice crushers which just makes ice for a snow cone and so the Waring one makes just the right size for my iced tea.

Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
Looks great on the counter and is not too noisy. It does get blocked up if you put several large ice cubes in at one time. However, if you feed the ice in slowly, it works great.

Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
I bought this for my mother-in-law. She came to visit and loved our refrigerator with the crushed ice. She went home and burnt out two different ice crushers. I had this unit delivered to her and she goes on and on about it every time we talk.
from Hagerstown, MD on 2/4/2008
Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
Everything I love about fountain drinks at home! No more waiting for ice cubes to melt enough in your drink to crunch on - they come out of this crusher the perfect size to chew on. I crushed up my whole ice container in a few minutes and had enough for the week ready to go.
Only hitch is that too many ice cubes at once will get clogged up, so I don't use the funnel and instead feed in a few cubes at a time (which still goes pretty quickly).
The product shipped very quickly and arrived on the scheduled date. I requested that the shipper be instructed to leave the package at the front door - and it was, no sweat.

from Louisville, KY on 2/4/2008
Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
From a manual crusher to an Oster "Snowflake" to this beauty. Given what it's doing, I still marvel at how quiet it is. With other crushers and when and using a blender, the racket can drive everyone from the kitchen. Not so with this jewel.
Since it looks good and blends with stainless appliances, it stays out on the counter ... meaning I enjoy crushed ice more often than when I had to drag a crusher out and then put it back.
In addition to direct use in drinks (there are many that are soooo much better when enjoyed over crushed ice), crushing ice before throwing it in the blender for a smoothie type drink saves wear & tear on the blender (many blenders / smoothie machines actually discourage anything more than few cubes with a lot of liquid).
My only con is that with the feed funnel on top, it will not slide into the 18" space below my cabinets. But the funnel simply lifts off and it fits easily into the ice tray for storage ... so it's no biggie for me.
My second purchase from Abt. There was problem with my online credit card entry (fat fingered it I guess) and I got a prompt and courteous call to effect resolution. I've had the crusher several weeks but my recollection is that arrived within a couple of days of order. I'll certainly keep Abt on my list of preferred vendors.

from NC on 12/18/2007
Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
If your refrigerator has an ice crusher, dont waste your money on buying this machine as it will do no better. I was expecting small and sorta uniform size ice but didnt get it. The only thing I got was a smaller wallet.
BUT, if your frig doesnt have an ice crusher, then this is a good machine, or put your ice cubes in a towel and smash it with a hammer.

A great quality Ice crusher for the money, makes pea size ice with very little noise, for the price you cant ask for more! The only down fall to the machines service is it makes only one size ice, but hey as I said you cant beat it for the price.!!!!!!!!!!!!! company provides top notch service. Thank you! A+

from Chicago, IL on 8/31/2007
Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
This is the only ice crusher that I could find that does not produce ice shavings (like those you would use for a snow cone). I was looking for an ice crusher that would make ice chunks the size of a refridgerator ice crusher. It works really well!
The only problem we have found is that if you use ice made from an ice tray, the ice cubes tend to be too big, causing it to jam in the shoot. (They are too big to go down the shoot all at once). Simple fix though: just give it a little jiggle or put in fewer ice cubes than the shoot holds. Other than that, I love it!
Wonderful service! I was emailed right after buying the product and was told this product was out of stock and would not be in for about two weeks before it reached their warehouse. They asked if I was willing to wait for it, or if I wanted to switch the product ordered with one in they had in stock. I elected to wait for the product to come in since it was to be used as a birthday present. Unfortunately, the birthday was only a week away. I don't know how they did it, but I received the ice crusher in just four days after ordering it. They must have done all that they could to help me out! GREAT SERVICE!

Quiet operation. I liked to crush the ice to facilitate making smoothies and also to minimize the noise (racket) that ice cubes make in blenders.

We make a lot of smoothies and this ice crusher makes the process much faster. One tray of ice cubes in the crusher and throw all the ingredients in the blender and "Bam", done!!!
from Providence, RI on 7/31/2007
Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
I found just what I needed. It chops ice not shaves it. We use ours in a small office that likes their drinks with chopped ice, not cubes. It's made well and we have hopes of having it for a very long time.

from Norman, OK on 7/26/2007
Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
I really love this ice crusher. I crush a bunch of ice in minutes and then put it in a plastic container for later use, especially when I first get home from work and want to relax with a cool drink. I have tried other hand crank crushers and to me they are a waste of time and money. I'm very glad I purchased it.
I received this product in great condition, the box wasn't crushed or anything and it came very quickly. I would make another purchase from Abt.
from Decatur, AL on 7/24/2007
Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
I had worn another ice crusher out and was going to get one just like it, but found this one while searching the web. After reading the reviews I decided to try this one and I love it. It's much quieter than any other ice crusher I've ever used and crushes the ice into pea to marble size chips, perfect for my ice munching habit. Do not get it if you want "shaved" ice. It's rather large for a kitchen countertop, but looks so good that I leave it out anyway. Only drawback is the occasional jammed ice cube, but I think all ice crushers do that to a certain degree. Nothing I can't get past.

If you are looking for a quality ice crusher, this professional quality Waring product is the one for you. We have been using this item for approx. one month and are impressed with its quality, the low cost and its ease of use/care. The only downside is it does not produce shaved ice.

When our many yrs. old Magic Hostess Ice Crusher finally expired (internal broken cast parts, no longer made), we looked for highest quality Ice Crusher (for use in home environment) & really like this new ice crusher. It is very sturdy, made well and hopefully will last for many yrs.
So far....Exceptionally well satisfied.

from Cherry Hill, NJ on 8/21/2006
Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
Can feed one large cube at a time, moderately quickly. Crushes ice into fairly small chunks that can then go into a blender to make frozen drinks. (Otherwise, the blender won't handle large cubes.) Sturdy & well made. A tad large to leave it sitting permanently on the kitchen counter.

from Needles, California on 8/1/2006
Comments about Waring Waring Professional Ice Crusher - Black/Brushed Stainless Steel Finish:
Product is attractive & well constructed. However don't expect to fill ice hopper with large ice cubes & have it perform well. Large cubes feed into machine & do not grind up. My best results were acheived with smaller cubes, approximately 1" square or smaller fed to the hopper in small handfulls. If used in this manner results are fine & ice is crushed well.
