A 300-watt motor spinning at 1450 revolutions per minute gives this ice crusher a rated capacity of 660 pounds of ice, suiting both commercial and domestic use. Two food-grade stainless steel blades do the cutting, working together so ice breaks down easily and consistently rather than jamming or passing through in uneven chunks. Stainless steel construction throughout is what supports that workload over years of service, as the material resists ice and meltwater without corroding. Crushed output drops into a 10-gallon, 37-liter storage box, enough to build a supply ahead of demand instead of crushing to order. The box itself is a thickened, one-piece injection-molded PC container, and the single-piece construction matters because there are no seams to leak or trap residue, helping shaved ice stay cool inside. A clip-on door opens for swift, sanitary access and an ice scoop is provided, so ice is served without hands entering the container. Meltwater does not accumulate: an outlet hose at the bottom drains the excess away. Safety is addressed on several fronts. The switch is waterproof, appropriate for a machine that works in a wet environment, overheat protection guards the motor during extended runs, a splash-proof cover contains spray while the blades turn, and the design carries ETL certification. A non-slip handle gives secure grip, and anti-slip foot pads hold the unit steady under load. The machine stands 33.5 inches tall on an 18.5 by 14 inch base, weighs 24 pounds, draws 3 amps and runs on 120-volt 60-hertz power through a 4.1-foot cord with a 1.6-foot drain hose.
