could you use this machine to sell snow cones at a basketball game?

Machine would probably work for a small venue like a high school game..I think it would not work for a real high output venue.

Yes, I would! I have three kids and they used it all summer parties and all it's still going strong. Maybe one person would be ice crusher the other flavors? Hope that helps.

You could but I wouldn't expect the machine to last very long doing that kind of work. If you want snow like ice I would find a machine specific to that task and you will need to pay more money for a high-end machine.

You probably could, but there are much better things that could be used for that purpose. This basket isn't made for outdoor use and would probably rust. If you are planning on wheeling it inside every day, then it might work, although it doesn't seem durable enough to wheel frequently over rough terrain or stairs. Also, the basket is a large wire mesh and small things would likely fall out, such as tennis balls or jump ropes. That could be remedied with throwing a sheet inside the basket.

The pitcher has to be locked into position, and the top where the ice goes has to be on and locked in too. We are pleased with the machine...it was only $35, so it is not going to make professional type slushies, and snow cones! I think it does a nice enough job though!

i dont know, maybe if you had the needle. ball pumps are super cheap though.

Yes. There are several recipes included with this device; one is specifically for ice cream cones as it is heavier than the typical Krumkake. I have only made the Krumkake - loved the efficiency and consistency!

You pour ice into the top of the snow cone machine. So you don't necessarily need running water. You can go buy bags if ice. Unfortunately, the machine is not refrigerated so any ice in the machine would melt after a few hours.

Of course, you need to freeze a lot of blocks. I would count on about 45 seconds per cone. This thing is powerful but not for little hands. Bring a class at a time and let them watch.

absolutely. probably overkill, though. it would make snow out of it. it could probably grind up your cell phone (not that you'd want to do that...)

Easily. You could probably run a small Minecraft server on this machine with no problems.

I would think you would be OK. I have never used it for that kind of demand but it is a VERY well-built machine. It is sold as non-commercial but it is stronger than just family use in my opinion.

We love this machine it makes it almost like snow in fact my kids have made snow balls with the ice that comes out. It makes a lot really fast and I have not been able to put the machine away it is always on my cupboard since we use it so much.

I think it depends a bit on your ice. If I use my "drier ice" from my freezer it tends to be finer. If I use bagged ice or ice that is starting to melt just a little bit, you will get the courser ice of traditional snow cones. So you can get either one. You will be happy with this machine.

Yes! It is a good gumball machine too,for it being portable. If portable is what your looking for.

Not sure about that I'm not in the snowcone business. I do it just for extra sales. Wish I could help more.

We use at home only. We have 7 kids and when dad starts making snowballs as a treat, they really love it. Seems to also draw a crowd and people start showing up. It does put out a lot of snow cones in a short period of time. Glad we purchased this product

I would say yes - can be used to make snow cones. The ice is truly shaved and very fluffy before the blender takes over. Imagine that you could simply use the manual shave control and shave ice into one of the pitchers then make snow cones from there. Sort of an expensive snow cone maker though....but a good idea for a secondary use.
