- Not all Shavers are made the same ... or cost the same.
In this video, we compare 2 Shaved Ice machines that have VERY different price tags.
One is around $2,000, while the other is just $200.
We discuss shave quality, durability, & daily use.

7 years working with my Snow Cub and no problems at all
Thanks for that input. Helps me to make a choice.
Thanks man. I just need to get through the summer. 🤔🤑🤑🗽🗽
This was really helpful, thanks a lot for the info!
Great video! Thanks so much for making & sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. Just ordered the snow cub to make shaved ice for my two kids and neighbors kids
Been looking for a machine that I will only use maybe 2 or 3 times a year for PR events and home shows, and I think this video helped me decide which one to go with, thank you
Hey, I just purchased a machine. I love shaved ice and one of my favorite places uses Real fruit concentrates with 100% cane sugar and no corn syrup. I’m waiting to either source something similar or make my own concentrates. Do you have any recommendations?
I’ll take the two hundred one just because I’m only making them for my kids and friends when they come over.
Yeah, it's a great machine!
So get the Swan if you plan to operate for years and need longevity
Thank you for the very informative comparison.
I've seen some new machines pop up on Asian sites that uses a liquid that flash freezes on a roller before hitting the razor. Do you have any experience with that kind of machine?
Sorry, I don't.
I’ve used both and the Swan is definitely a better machine. But for the money the snow cub can’t be beat. It needs a foot switch though. Mine didn’t come with on, but I’m sure they are available somewhere.
Do you have a review or video on the Southern Snow shave ice machine?
hi, may I know if I use the pure ice (water only), will it come out as the feather shape as shown? Or should I add sugar to prevent it becoming crunch shape. Thanks !
Just plain ice
have never had an ice shaver, do the blades break in a way where pieces could end up in the snow?
Nope. They need to be shaprened from time to time, but that;'s easy to do
I got the cheap one. It can do a school play day. I bought for just kids party's. But now there older. 10 years later. We used in cheer fundraising and even at a fair. No problems. It buy 10 $200 machines. I'd never get a swain design. Get the block ice style thats 2k and less ice problems
Hi Scott. The Swan has an ice pressure adjustment screw on the front. Does the Snow Cub have a pressure adjustment? I see a "slot" below the handle on the Snow Cub. What is that for?
No, snow cub does not
HOW DO YOU GET THE ICE TO BALANCE
Hi Scott my 11 yo is interested in starting up a business. If we buy snowcub, where do u buy ice? And buy flavors? Thx for ur help
For the snowcub, you'll need ice blocks. Many lock ice vendors sell it. If you can't find any through them, then you can freeze your own.
Tons of places for flavors. Personally I really like Ralphs. But you may be able to buy some pre-made flavor from a local restaurant store.
How about a snowie instead
You gotta have a good power source.
I have a snowie and works wonderful!! I got two small ones. Upgrading to the big one!!
I thought the snow cub isnt NSF approved!!!???
IKR? My local city doesn't even know what that means. So I have no idea if I must have NSF or not. 😡 $2K isn't cheap. Even if I went with the cheap model, so what if it breaks in 6 months. They only $200. I can buy 10 of them! That's 5 years worth of decent machine
@@benrichards9667 you won't be able to sell them. Your license comes from your State of Agriculture. They inspect them. If it doesn't have the NSF engraved or sticker for that model. You can't sell. The problem is metal shards that come off the cheap products blades. And cancer materials plastics.
That’s exactly why we didn’t buy it but I see people n business use the Snow Cub all the time.
I wish the snow cub looked less tacky!
Agreed!
Do you use a generator with the snow cub. I bought one and it shut down during an event. Lost so much revenue. I have the paragon boxed style machine.
This happened to me too !
The machine got burned out or something
Was it the generator?
If it shut down on you it's a power issue. Too many things running off of one generator. So you either need to unplug things and only run the shaver or you'll need a bigger generator
I can buy from india
In Ohio block ice is not available.
I bought a large pack of 6” plastic tubs and just freeze my own with good water
Extremely deceptive video. Why? •note minuscule ice block on $200 machine vs HUGE block of ice on $2K machine. 🤔🤔🤔. 20LB $200 machine will shake / vibrate off counter in 3 secs. This guy is an obvious shill for cub. I’d never support his business as he’s inherently dishonest.
Lol what the fuck r u crying about?
lol ... I'm certainly not a shill for Cub ... or Swan for that matter. I have no relationship with either to them. I owned a Shaved Ice business for years and have personally made thousands of cups of shaved ice with both machines.
Both machines fit about the same size block of ice (a 10lbs. block cut in half). It's the only way to use them.
It's obviously the same sized cube shaved down from use..
