Loved it. Then it wouldn't start and probably for same reason previous person said. Got second unit. It jammed a lot. Took it back got my money. Called Rival to see if they could help. No - they were stumped too. Also I couldn't get the lower part of the top to come off for cleaning on either machine and according to the Rival lady on the phone I was doing the right thing. I also read somewhere that the gears in this unit are plastic and break easily. AND now I'm learning there is a difference between shaved ice and snow cones or whatever with one being much more grainier. What THAT all about. The peoople at RIVAL were very, very nice. Does anyone know if Hawaain shave ice machines turn out a different product? Bought the same model 200 at Target for cheap, brought it home. Loved it.
