Great Ice Shaver and Mess Maker July 7, 2008
0 out of 8 found this review helpful

This machine looks attractive and is formidable in size. The pitcher has a typical 36 oz capacity as is clearly indicated on the side of the vessel. After pouring 24 oz of liquid in the pitcher, I hit the auto blend button and the machine began depositing that frozen concoction all over the counter. A second, more restrained, attempt using a 6 oz can of frozen daquiri mix and 6 oz of rum produced another sticky overflow situation. A third attempt to prepare the same 12 oz liquid mix using manual control of the blender proved that you could only get 4 drinks "cleanly" out of the device by stopping midway in the blending process, pouring half the contents of the pitcher into the 4 glasses, and then continuing the blending process through a second pass to get enough to fill the 4 glasses. Any blender that works like this can hardly be called a "party machine."

Works great! Love to improvise recipes! June 23, 2008

LOVE THIS MACHINE! I've had it about a month and have used it many times. It comes apart fairly easily so cleanup isn't so much of chore that I think twice about using it. The only drawback, personally, is that it's taller than a regular blender and I don't have a cabinet in which to store it! I suppose having it on the counter all the time really isn't a problem in the summer months but I might have to do something come winter. Got a little tired of regular margaritas quickly but found some awesome recipes by googling "battlestar galactica drinks".

Makes Margaritas too, but who cares? June 21, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

The first time we used it, we made margaritas. They came out perfectly! But we're more into on-the-rocks, so that was that. Note that it is dead simple to use, and cleans up very easily. Only ice goes in the ice bowl, other liquids only go in the blender container. The blender container disassembles easily to clean up, dry and reassemble in a couple of minutes, total. The ice bowl and water-catcher just need to be dried.

Since the first batch, like our daughter who has one of the larger units, we just use it to make shave ice and slushies. It is absolutely outstanding at making all of these frozen concoctions.

For shave ice, fill the ice container with ice cubes and use the shave/blend toggle to shave ice. It will make about 2 blender containers full of shaved ice. Put the shaved ice in bowls or paper cups. Pour about a tablespoon of one of the Monin syrups used for coffee drinks, like blueberry or cherry, on each serving of shave ice.

For a slushie, put 12-16 oz of a cold beverage like lemonade or Coke in the blender part. Fill the ice container about half-full with ice cubes, and press the margarita button. For best taste, use drinks made with cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup. HFCS leaves an aftertaste, while sugar is cleaner and crisper. If you can get Mexican Cokes at a store that serves that market, or Kosher Cokes during certain times of the year, they're made with cane sugar. Odwalla lemonade is made with cane sugar, too.

For a really fancy margarita, after a lot of experimenting, we reproduced our favorite -- the super-smooth 19th Hole Margarita from the Mexquite restaurant. For 3 margaritas (the capacity of the Bahamas model): put these into the blender part: 4.5 oz Sauza Hornitas Reposada tequila, 4.5 oz orange juice, 3 oz cranberry cocktail juice, 1.5 oz agave nectar syrup, 1.5 oz Gran Gala orange liqueur, juice of 1.5 limes. Fill the ice container to about 2/3 of its max ice line. Press the margarita button, and when it's done (it'll blend twice so wait for it), it's ready to pour...

Great product June 9, 2008
After reading all the Amazon reviews for margarita makers, I finally selected this one to purchase. The machine works like a charm, easy to use, easy to clean and fits (just) under my kitchen cabinets. It crushes the ice perfectly. I'm the anti-cook/drink maker in the house and I had no trouble figuring it out and making perfect margarita's.

Perfect! June 9, 2008
We used this machine at our party. It was a great hit. The Margaritas were perfect. The only negative I would be able to say, is that when you pour it out of the pitcher...it leaks. Still had fun!
