Great Northern Snow Cub Hawaiian Shaved Ice Machine

This machine is designed to shave block ice. While you can use standard ice cubes, the consistency will be best if you use a block of ice or larger chunks that fit the hopper, as the blades are optimized for shaving rather than crushing.

The Snow Cub features adjustable stainless steel blades. You can manually tweak the blade settings to switch between a fine, snow-like texture for Hawaiian-style treats or a coarser grind for traditional snow cones.

Yes, with a 1/3 HP motor capable of shaving up to 6 lbs of ice per minute, it is well-suited for events and parties. Its high-capacity output ensures you can keep up with demand without long wait times.

The unit is equipped with a built-in safety shield. This prevents accidental contact with the blades while the motor is in operation, providing an extra layer of protection during use.

The machine measures approximately 11.8 inches long by 15.7 inches wide and stands 35.4 inches tall. Given its height and 34-pound weight, it is best placed on a sturdy, dedicated surface with enough vertical clearance.

Because the machine is constructed with stainless steel and durable plastic components, it is relatively straightforward to wipe down. We recommend ensuring the unit is unplugged and the hopper is completely dry after each use to maintain the longevity of the blades.
