I use a Waring Pro ice crusher for my general ice crushing and a vintage Oster "Snowflake" left over from the 1960' for my super-fine snow-like crushed ice. I have also removed the ice maker from my freezer to make more room and only use 20Lb bags of store-bought crystal clear ice. I have a separate chest freezer that I use to keep about 80 pounds of ice. I never liked the cloudy cubes the ice maker in a home freezer makes - I like the crystal clear. One of these days I'll buy a stand alone Ice maker that makes those clear cubes . . . one of these days.
By the way I still have two Lewis Bag ice crushing thingies but the mini baseball bat thing is so beaten up that I've replaced it with a nylon muddler . . . works just as well. I only use the Lewis bag for show. . . or exercise.

RyanTheTerrible: Try making some ice cubes with baking soda in them and run them through your Snowflake. That should clear up the smell and funny taste.

I bet you feel more like you do now now than you did when you came in.
