Did anyone buy the Slurpee machine ??

[TreslovesWDW]

My inlaws got DD one for Christmas. It didn't have the crank but took batteries. Well after I put NEW batteries in, added the ice and salt, turned the machine on - NOTHING (no noise, movement, or anything). Went to check the batteries and had to dump everything out. DD was so upset.

They got it at Target (on sale for $18) so I went online and noticed the 2 reviews on how it didn't work so I decided to return it for my money back. The week after Christmas, I went to Target and the girl just laughed. I thought she was laughing because I had it in a bag with no box. She told me it was the 5th one that she saw returned since Christmas but heard of more from other people.

We decided to get the old fashioned snow cone machine on the Walmart website (I had a gift card I used towards it). This thing is so cool and can make TONS of snow cones. We LOVE it. I hightly recommend it as you can make snow cones or use it for slushies. The shaved ice it produces is great and the clean up is easy; not to mention all the compliments we get on it. We're going to use it next Saturday for DD's birthday party as well...

Check it out on the website, you won't be disappointed:

Before Christmas I was standing in the store debating whether or not to buy DS the Smores maker. While standing in line I was reading the box which said I needed some sort of spaecial light bulb. I figured by the time I bought the light bulb and all the ingredinets needed it wasn't worth it. So I put it back. After reading these posts I know I made a good decision...all of these gadgets sound like too much of a hassle.

I have this one and it takes forever to melt the marshmallow,with 4 kids they were bored fast..took a few seconds in the microwave,and tasted good.

My DD loves this machine. Very easy & safe for her to help and it produces nice snowy ice and ALOT of it if you so choose.

We just used it for her birthday party last month and it was a BIG hit.

DD got one for Christmas. We used it once and it worked well. After that, it wouldn't do anything.

I took it back to Target and we did not buy another one.

My daughter got one for her birthday last year. We never could get it to work. We tried several different times since I thought maybe I didn't follow the directions enough the first time since it just wasn't working. However, after try #2, I was convinced it was the toy and not me!

My son brought one home from ex inlaws house. Took the time to read everything follow the directions. Go to start it up and nothing happened! Oh well I have noticed that it seems like anything that spinmaster makes never works. We had the shaker makers one year and they never did work out either.
