PLUS the Vintage Waring Electric Ice Crusher Model I004, has a 360 watt motor as the Waring Pro IC70 Professional ice crusher you listed has a 150 watt motor.
The Snow flakers have a 75 watt motor.

Here is a review of the Waring Pro IC70 Professional ice crusher that says it all to me.

"I don't really HATE this unit -- it works great...until the design defect gets you. It WILL happen to you if you use it regularly with ice cubes any larger than tiny. It crushes fine, until one day when the BUILT-IN OBSOLESCENCE kicks in. One of the flimsy nylon spacers between the teeth will give way, and your nice looking otherwise-fine crusher will be of NO USE anymore.

You might get a year, maybe even two years, but it WILL happen. All those good reviews here either don't use it much or only use it with tiny cubes. Read all of the "1" and "2" reviews to see how common this problem is. It's as if Waring intentionally wants to make sure that you buy another one every year or two."
