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.

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!!
Paragon The Arctic Blast Sno Cone machine
So far so good. Creates nice snow. If I could design this better i would allow for the tray to be removed easier. the back door is nice. also the drain does not fully drain the tray.
