Jokeiiii, great find! I have three of those, lol. They work VERY WELL but tend to be a bit leaky and make a bit of a mess. You can make very fine ice usable in ice cones, as I recall. So why don't I use it? Because the Oster ice crushing blade in a self-contained blender jar works just as well without the leakage from the melting ice fragments inside the device. But if you can manage your work area, no problems. Another advantage of using a blender jar is that you could more easily crush ice and then scoop it out and into your ice molds. Please keep testing and share your results here. The device is fairly easy to find on eBay, but much harder to find in thrifts.
This is as far as I've gotten. I rigged a "canning funnel" to keep the ice crusher trapdoor open (otherwise it's one measly cube at a time) which allows for much faster crushing of more cubes, and faster = less melt/leaks. It shoots the crushed ice down into a tray salvaged from an ancient fridge that fits PERFECTLY under the chute. In sum, no appreciable mess thus far.
