Innovee Home Manual Ice Crusher Demo

I am a 72 year old man...this ice crusher is not difficult to use.
Having recently tried another brand that was very unsatisfactory and returned it, I was skeptical with this model. I am pleased to say that after approximately one week of use, this is a keeper. It is not commercial grade for sure, but for home use, it meets my expectations very well. I have found that turning the crank briskly with a steady pace works better than slowly. The cubes do not tend to jam as often. Speaking of ice jams, they do happen on occasion, but only infrequently now that I have started the brisk method. I have followed instructions and briefly reverse the turn when a jam occurs.
I also found that not filling the cube hopper all the way up helps....as shown in my photo, about half to three quarters full. If I need more ice crushed, just add more cubes.
The crushed ice is perfect for my primary use....making either shakes or smoothies. I also leave the top off and the crushed ice hopper out after use until the unit is completely dry. I put a folded paper towel at the bottom while the hopper is removed to catch any dripping moisture.

Thank you. I think I'm going to try and purchase this. I don't quite want shaved/snow cone ice. I do have an chopper but it either does big hunks or pretty much snow.
I want the ice consistency to be a happy medium like shown here and I also would love to have something manual for when I am on the road.
