Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Waring IC70 Professional Stainless-Steel Large-Capacity Ice Crusher
Customer Review: It Crushes Ice Go Figure...
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought y'all might like a review from someone who's used it for over a year. I've used several ice crushers, mostly hand-cranked, in the past and NONE of them lasted more than 4 months. I've had handles break, crushing mechanisms fall apart, flakes from chrome coatings, even injured my hand rather severly trying to get crushed ice in the past. I am on dialysis and am limited on my fluid intake. Having crushed ice helps keep me from drinking too much (though I LOVE Pepsi in crushed ice!). So crushed ice is pretty much a must for me. My dialysis unit supplies crushed ice but there have been many times their machine was broken and I had to do without - like murder! I also distill my own water for purest water possible so I prefer my "clean" ice. So I tried to come up with a crushed ice solution. Now to the point... I finally decided to try an electric crusher, fearing so many stories about how they break down easily, don't crush ice well, clog up, etc. I bought this Waring crusher over a year ago and have used it nearly every day since. Yes, I have had clogs. To me it was no big deal. I learned the clogs were just due to the cube not properly going through the hopper, especially larger cubes - it just needed a nudge or re-positioning with the tip of a fork (I don't recommend fingers). (The unit takes pretty large ice cubes - I just tend to make them too big sometimes). There is no need to put the fork in deep where the blades are so it's okay to do and not a big deal - I recommend doing it with the unit turned off, of course. In any case this occured very rarely as I've learned to drop the cubes into the opening one at a time, even one immediately after the other. So even doing it like that was fast enoutgh - something like 12 cubes in less than half a minute. You could also shake the unit a bit to joggle the cubes around. In the year I may have had to "declog" it maybe 20 or 30 times, and as described above, it took nothing to do - no big deal. The ice crushes ideally for crunching, for drinks, or for whatever purpose. It crushes just like the commercial machine at my dialysis unit. I am extremely pleased with it. The fact that it lasted over a year thrills me more than I can explain and it seems to be very reliable. I expect it to last me for years to come. It does take up counter space which I have no problem with, but it also is "portable" enough that you can store it in a pantry or set aside when not in use, keeping in mind it is also fairly tall. For a commercial quality ice crusher, though, it really doesn't take up that much space. For me this machine is very convenient - when I want a crushed ice drink, I have the crushed ice in only a few seconds. When I want a lot of crushed ice, I have it in less than a minute. For a huge amount, like a full bin, I'd say it takes maybe 3 or 4 minutes max. Compared to money I've spent on the units that didn't last more than 4 months, the price of this unit is well worth it. $80 (what I spent on the Waring) for years or $30-$40 every 3-4 months. I highly recommend the Waring! Hope this helps in your decision. Happy crushing!
