Nostalgia RVM-560 Retro-Style 18-Can Vending Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a resurrection of the 'Ice 3' vending machine a few years ago. That machine lasted about a year before I had to replace the small internal fan. I decided to buy this one because it's a fun little machine that the kids enjoy getting their drinks without them opening the refrigerator door all the time. And, it looks cool. I'm hoping this one will last longer than the 'Ice 3' since the mechanics look identical.
I also have a Koolatron Vending fridge at my office. The Koolatron keeps the drinks colder but it only holds 10 cans, two in a holding area that you can only get to if you open the machine. I'm always running out of drinks and it seems i'm always opening up the door.
I like the Koolatron as far as it keeps the drinks colder but I like the Nostalgia because you can load 18 cans at once.
PROS: Looks, Holds 18-cans
CONS: Cans could be colder.

Waring Pro IC70 Professional Stainless-Steel Large-Capacity Ice Crusher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Waring IC70 is a MACHINE! This baby can crush my ice cubes any day. I've found the resulting ice chunks to be perfect for crunching and munching on(I have a compusive ice chewing habit). It is very easy to use, just plug it in, turn on the switch and dump in the ice cubes. It was crushing away on my countertop mere moments after our hottie UPS guy rang the doorbell. Essentially, feed ice cubes into the chute on top and a nice, big plastic bin below receives the lovely crushed output. The stainless steel housing is attractive and understated, but this guy is a little on the large size. Still, I'm willing to give up the counterspace in order to appease my crushed ice needs. I crush roughly 14 ice cube trays worth of ice a day and there is never a hitch. I have had ice cubes get wedged in the chute when I dump a whole tray of ice in at once but this is easily fixed by rocking it gently back and forth.
I found this product far superior to the Deni which makes sno-cone style ice and seemed quite rickety compared to the Waring. Also, much less work than the hand-cranked Metrokane Ice Crusher. This Waring IC70 makes great crushed ice for bar drinks: perfect for my amaretto sours and mojitos- even margaritas on the rocks, also great for soft drinks. This does not produce the consistency of ice needed for sno-cones or blended-style drinks.

The Tabletop Cotton Candy Maker. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We decided to buy a cotton candy machine for my son who because of a rare disease cannot eat anything other than sugar and a special formula. We thought it would be fun for him to have cotton candy as a treat but didn't want one of the really expensive professional ones. We ended up choosing this one as I've had problems before with other cheap cotton candy machines. We made the right choice! This is a great machine. It doesn't make the huge amounts of cotton candy that a big machine makes but is awesome for the sizes we want and works well every time.

This is the tabletop machine that spins ordinary table sugar into cotton candy, providing quick relief for those seeking to satisfy a sweet tooth. The machine is easy and safe enough for even children to operate--simply add sugar to the heating chamber and in just minutes it produces wisps of feathery confection that you can collect on a chopstick or straw (add food coloring to the sugar to create a colorful treat). The red bowl, plastic shield, and sugar container are removable for easy cleaning. Includes sugar measuring scoop. Plugs into AC.
