Icebreaker Ice Crusher

Das Gerät erfüllt vollends meine Erwartungen, ist sehr gut verarbeitet und hat endlich das Ende meines Kurbelbetriebenen Ice Crushers eingeleitet ;-)

The device fully meets my expectations, is very well made and has finally brought an end to my crank-operated ice crusher ;-)

Zustellung nicht korrekt. Obwohl zu Hause anwesend wurde das Paket einfach vor der Türe abgestellt. Konnte den Zusteller zwar sehen aber nicht kontaktieren. Gerät soweit super aber die Zustellung sehr fragwürdig. Wer haftet wenn es wegkommt?

Delivery was not correct. Although I was at home, the package was simply left outside the door. I could see the delivery person but couldn't contact them. The device was great but the delivery was very questionable. Who is liable if it goes missing?

Glace pilée très grossière fait le job si vous voulez une glace pilée beaucoup plus fine je vous conseille de la repasser

Very coarse crushed ice does the job if you want a much finer crushed ice I advise you to iron it

Super Gerät, günstig robust und macht was es soll.

Great device, cheap, robust and does what it's supposed to.

Es macht natürlich einen Riesen Unterschied, ob Eis von Hand oder recht elegant mit einer Maschine zerkleinert wird. Die Maschine hat ganz klar den Vorteil, dass sie schnell arbeitet und das Eis dabei nicht groß antaut. Der erzeugte Geräuschpegel ist der verrichteten Arbeit angemessen. Und der dauert ja auch nicht lange, das Gerät arbeitet wie schon geschrieben recht flott. Das Endprodukt entspricht voll meiner Vorstellung. Klare Empfehlung!

Trotzdem ziehe ich 2x 0,5 Sterne = 1 Stern ab. Und das kommt so:
Ein innen wohl baugleiches Gerät gibt es auch in einer peppig-roten Ausführung. Deutlich günstiger. Ich glaube nicht, dass der Aufwand für eine Metallumhüllung derart hoch ist, dass die schicke Metall-Ausführung so extrem verteuert werden muss. Mir scheint eher, dass das künstlich bedingt ist – vielleicht um etwas mehr Geld in der Kasse zu generieren. Nun, in meinem Fall hat es funktioniert. Gefällt mir aber nicht wirklich.
Der zweite Punkt ist ein hinten am Eisbehälter angebrachter Zapfen. Mit diesem wird der Ice Crusher gesteuert. Nur wenn der Auffangbehälter ganz eingeschoben ist und der Zapfen eine Schalteinheit betätigt, arbeitet das Gerät. Aufgrund von der Länge und vermuteten Hebelwirkungen beim Anecken oder Fall kann der Zapfen leicht abbrechen und es wird ein Ersatzteil nötig. Diese Problematik wäre baulich leicht zu verhindern gewesen.

Of course, it makes a huge difference whether ice is crushed by hand or elegantly with a machine. The machine clearly has the advantage that it works quickly and does not thaw the ice much. The noise level generated is appropriate for the work being done. And it doesn't take long, as the device works quite quickly, as already mentioned. The final product is exactly what I imagined. Clear recommendation! Nevertheless, I deduct 2x 0.5 stars = 1 star. And that's how it happens: A device that looks identical inside is also available in a lively red version. Significantly cheaper. I don't think the effort required for metal casing is so high that the stylish metal version has to be made so extremely expensive. It seems to me that this is artificial - perhaps to generate a little more money in the till. Well, in my case it worked. But I don't really like it. The second point is a spigot attached to the back of the ice bin. This is used to control the Ice Crusher. The device only works when the collecting container is fully inserted and the pin activates a switching unit. Due to the length and assumed leverage when cornered or dropped, the pin can easily break off and a replacement part will be necessary. This problem could have been easily prevented structurally.

Top Ware, schnelle Lieferung

Ein guter crusher um normale Eiswürfel ordentlich klein zu hacken. Der Auffangbehälter bietet viel Platz für jede Menge crushed ice und die Eissplitter haben die perfekte Größe für Cocktails und andere Kaltgetränke. Einziger Nachteil ist die Lautstärke beim kleinhacken, aber damit habe ich beim Kauf sowieso schon gerechnet.

A good crusher for chopping normal ice cubes into small pieces. The container has plenty of space for lots of crushed ice and the ice chips are the perfect size for cocktails and other cold drinks. The only disadvantage is the noise when chopping, but I expected that when I bought it anyway.

Appareil simple d'utilisation, évidemment on pile de la glace, donc la machine ne peut pas être sans bruit.

Easy to use device, obviously we crush ice, so the machine cannot be noiseless.

Faire attention d’avoir des glaçons creux pour vraiment avoir l’effet glace pilée sinon les glaçons se bloquent dans l’appareil

Be careful to have hollow ice cubes to really have the crushed ice effect otherwise the ice cubes will get stuck in the device

War ein Geschenk für Kumpel und dessen Bar, zwinker zwinker, :-) ein gutes Gerät mit Power.

Was a present for my friend and his bar, wink wink :-) a good device with power.

Was soll man groß schreiben - ich hatte erst ein Gerät für 40 €, welches nach mehreren Jahren im Elektrogerätehimmel gelandet ist. Jetzt habe ich dieses Model. Die Eiswürfel dürfen nicht zu groß sein, dann funktioniert es super mit dem Trichter. Von mir eine klare Empfehlung für diejenigen, die nicht das billigste oder das HighEnd-Gerät suchen

What should I write big - I only had a device for 40 €, which ended up in the electronic device heaven after several years. Now I have this model. The ice cubes must not be too big, then the funnel works great. A clear recommendation from me for those who are not looking for the cheapest or high-end device

Pratico e al prezzo giusto...

Practical and at the right price...

Schade dass kein Deckel dabei ist oben bei Eiseinwurf

It's a pity that there is no lid at the top when throwing in ice

comprato per mio figlio, mi ha detto che si tratta di un ottimo prodotto

tutto ok

Everything is OK

Das Eis wird perfekt zerkleinert. ABER die Befüllung mit den Eiswürfeln welche zerkleinert werden sollen ist mit unter etwas schwierig da die Trichteröffnung zu klein dimensioniert wurde und die Eiswürfel sich im Trichter verkanten. Am Besten funktioniert das Gerät mit Eis aus Eiswürfelbeuteln. Der Geräuschpegel geht in Ordnung. Die Außenanmutung ist durchaus als wertig anzusehen. Ich möchte auf keinen Fall jemals wieder mit einen Handkurbelgerät Eis zerkleinern.

The ice is perfectly crushed. BUT filling with the ice cubes that are to be crushed is a little difficult because the funnel opening was too small and the ice cubes get stuck in the funnel. The device works best with ice from ice cube bags. The noise level is okay. The external appearance is definitely to be regarded as valuable. There is no way I ever want to crush ice with a hand crank again.

Soddisfatto

ottimo

Bin mit dem Teil sehr zufrieden. Endlich keine Anstrengung mehr beim Eis zerkleinern.

I'm very happy with the part. Finally no more effort when crushing ice.

Eiswürfel rutschen nicht durch . Zu wenig power . Für kleiner Menge ganz ok . Für ne Caipi Party , sollte man sich mehr Zeit nehm. ,, Produziert schönes Crusheis / kein Schnee

Ice cubes do not slip through. Too little power. Quite ok for a small amount. For a Caipi party, you should take more time. ,, Produces nice crushed ice / no snow

Super Qualität für den Preis. Geht schnell, ist zwar etwas laut, aber kein Problem

Super quality for the price. It's quick, a bit noisy, but no problem

Macht zwar etwas Lärm aber das dürfte normal sein. Auch jetzt, 1 1/2 Jahre in ständiger Benutzung tut der Crusher was er soll. 1 x in 1~2 Wochen läuft das Teil für 10 - 15 Minuten auf Hochtouren. In Tupperware wird das Crushed Ice dann in den Tiefkühler verfrachtet und je nach Bedarf verwendet.

Makes some noise but that should be normal. Even now, 1 1/2 years of constant use, the crusher does what it should. 1 x in 1~2 weeks the part runs at full speed for 10 - 15 minutes. In Tupperware, the crushed ice is then put into the freezer and used as needed.

Cooles Gerät! Tut was es soll.

Cool device! Does what it's supposed to.

Macchina fantastica. Utilissima e molto robusta. Ottima qualità prezzo. Consegna effettuata velocemente e nei tempi previsti. Prodotto ottimo

Fantastic machine. Very useful and very sturdy. Excellent quality for the price. Delivery made quickly and on schedule. Excellent product

Für mich ist es ein klasse Gerät. Macht schönes Eis für Mochito usw. Man sollte nicht zuviel eis mit großen Eiswürfeln hinein geben. sonst kann es sein das er sich aufhängt. sollte er kaputt gehen werde ich eine neuen brauchen.

For me it's a great device. Makes nice ice for mochito etc. Don't put in too much ice with big ice cubes. otherwise he may hang himself. If it breaks I'll need a new one.

It's a good ice crusher for the (low) price, and delivers a nicely balanced mix of shaved and 'pebble' ice, good for fruit drinks. The input hopper is a bit small and you'll need fairly small ice cubes to start with, while the cubes can sometimes get stuck in the hopper and need a bit of poking, or jam (turning off and on cures this). Overall, considering the price, it's good value, and saves a lot of work compared to a manual crusher.

Das icecrushen gelingt gut, bedienung ist sehr simpel. Die verarbeitungsqualität entspricht dem preis. Größter kritikpunkt: das getriebe ist sehr laut. Immerhin leiser als mit dem hammer eiswürfel zu zertrümmern, aber eben echt laut ( auch wenn kein eis zertrümmert wird und das gerät leer läuft).

The ice crushing works well, operation is very simple. The processing quality corresponds to the price. Biggest point of criticism: the gearbox is very loud. At least quieter than smashing ice cubes with a hammer, but really loud (even if no ice is smashed and the device runs empty).

I use this ice machine for crushing ice to use on my knee replacement., which is great for the healing and exercise program. put the crushed ice in plastic bag on top of a wet drying towel and leave it on for 20 mins, do this as often as you want great relief. The machine is easy to use ice is not slushy still has some body.... highly recommended

bel prodotto, funzionale. Tuttavia dopo meno di una settimana di utilizzo nemmeno troppo intenso, ha smesso di tritare il ghiaccio: il motore girava, ma dal nulla le lame non tritavano più. Peccato. Reso.

nice product, functional. However, after less than a week of not too intense use, it stopped crushing the ice: the motor turned, but out of nowhere the blades stopped crushing. Too bad. Returned.

Proprio quello che cercavamo! Per i malati di granite

Just what we were looking for! For the granite addicts

Produit imposant mais fait son travail. Les morceaux nécessitent cependant un second passage si vous voulez avoir un bon pillage (pour Mojito...) Niveau sécurité le clapet qui remonte devant les lames est bien pensé, ça évite tout accident si on doit pousser les morceaux avec les doigts. Pas si bruyant que ça pour ce type d'équipement. Le débit est impressionnant. Avis aux fans d'apéro, ce produit est fait pour vous

Impressive product but does its job. The pieces, however, require a second pass if you want to have a good pilling (for Mojito...) In terms of safety, the flap that goes up in front of the blades is well thought out, it avoids any accident if you have to push the pieces with your fingers. Not that noisy for this type of equipment. The throughput is impressive. Notice to aperitif fans, this product is made for you

Acquistato per un uso medio frequente, con ottima riuscita. Tutti i giorni è utilizzato per la creazione di Moiti nel bar di nostri conoscenti. Poco ingombrante, di facile utilizzo, bello estiticamente. Per esigenze personali ho pensato, visto che la vaschetta raccogli ghiaccio trittato, ha uno spinotto inglobato per dare il consenso all'utilizzo e pertanto senza la vaschetta non è possibile l'utilizzo; di creare uno "spinotto" indipendente costruito con una bacchetta di legno "tipo bastoncino cinese" che mi permette di dare il consenso di accensione mettendo direttamente sotto il bicchiere anzichè la sua vaschetta in dtazione. In questo modo trito direttamente il ghiaccio a me necessario di per il tipo di chocktail nel suo bicchiere. Ritengo questo accorgimento non uno difetto di costruzione perchè la macchina è eccezzionale, ma solo una miglioria alle esigenze personali. Azzienda affidabile e prodotto arrivato nei tempi stabiliti.

Purchased for medium-frequent use, with excellent results. It is used every day to create Moiti in our acquaintances' bar. Small in size, easy to use, aesthetically beautiful. For personal needs I thought, given that the crushed ice collection tray has a built-in plug to give consent for use and therefore without the tray it is not possible to use it; to create an independent "plug" built with a wooden stick "Chinese stick type" that allows me to give consent for switching on by placing the glass directly underneath instead of its supplied tray. In this way I directly crush the ice I need for the type of cocktail in its glass. I believe this measure is not a construction defect because the machine is exceptional, but only an improvement to personal needs. Reliable company and product arrived on time.

Semplicissima da usare e in 30 secondi si ha ghiaccio tritato grosso per vere granite

Very simple to use and in 30 seconds you have coarsely crushed ice for real slushes

Dit apparaat werkt goed als shredder van ijsklontjes. Het scherfjesijs is lekker in de limonade.

Produit un peu imposant niveau taille, mais beau design. S'utilise avec grande facilité, il y a une sécurité sur le bac pour que la machine ne marche pas sans qu'il soit bien enclenché. La machine est plus bruyante que ce que je pensais, pas par son moteur mais avec la descente des glaçons qui reste bruyante. Mais sinon elle est super, les glaçons sont parfaits pour les mojitos, et c'est très rapide. Je suis très satisfaite

Product a little imposing in terms of size, but beautiful design. It is very easy to use, there is a safety device on the tray so that the machine does not work without it being properly engaged. The machine is noisier than I expected, not from its motor but from the descent of the ice cubes which remains noisy. But otherwise it's great, the ice cubes are perfect for mojitos, and it's very quick. I am very satisfied

funktioniert perfekt und zerkleinert die eiswürfel auf schnellstem weg. endlich muss ich kein crushed eis mehr kaufen. einziges manko. die eis auffang schublade lässt sich nicht arretieren und sollte beim einsatz festgehalten werden.

Works perfectly and crushes the ice cubes very quickly. Finally I don't have to buy crushed ice anymore. The only drawback is that the ice collecting drawer cannot be locked and should be held in place when in use.

Il fait des brisures de glace qui convient à tous les usages, apéritifs, préparation de cocktails, en tapis sous les huitres, ... J'enlève une étoile, car celui que j'ai reçu n'est pas d'un rouge vif comme sur la présentation mais plutôt rouge pâle tendant sur le rose. Mais ça n'enlève rien à ses qualités.

It makes broken ice which is suitable for all uses, aperitifs, cocktail preparation, as a mat under oysters, etc. I am taking away a star because the one I received is not a bright red as on the presentation but rather pale red tending to pink. But that doesn't take away from its qualities.

Macchina molto buona e arrivata nei tempi previsti. Bisogna fare attenzione ad utilizzarla nel modo migliore. Utilizzabile anche in serate molto grandi

Very good machine and arrived on time. You have to be careful to use it in the best way. Can also be used on very large evenings

Macchina ok.Perfetra per cocktails pestati e non solo. Veloce, contenitore capiente per almeno 6/7 drink .Bella e comoda. Rumorosità accettabile

Machine ok. Perfect for crushed cocktails and more. Fast, large container for at least 6/7 drinks. Beautiful and comfortable. Acceptable noise

Ho acquistato questo prodotto per uso professionale. Lo uso tutti i giorni nel mio locale. Esteticamente é molto carino, é tutto in plastica, non occupa molto spazio ed é costruito bene. Il ghiaccio viene spezzato grossolanamente e non tritato, il che lo rende un partner ideale per preparare Mojito e Caipirinha. E' pratico e veloce. Tuttavia il cavo di alimentazione é troppo corto (basta mettere una prolunga), lo spazio sotto le lame é ridotto e non si riesce a sistemare un bicchiere obbligandoti ad utilizzare sempre la sua vaschetta. Inoltre l'imboccatura del tritaghiaccio é piccola e ti permette di inserire uno o due cubetti alla volta rendendo vano l'utilizzo dell'imbuto. Rumorosità contenuta. Io l'ho utilizzato con cubetti vuoti e semi-vuoti. Non l'ho mai provato con cubetti domestici "pieni". In generale sono soddisfatto.

I bought this product for professional use. I use it every day in my restaurant. It is very nice looking, it is all plastic, it does not take up much space and it is well built. The ice is roughly broken and not crushed, which makes it an ideal partner for preparing Mojitos and Caipirinhas. It is practical and fast. However, the power cord is too short (just put an extension), the space under the blades is limited and you cannot fit a glass, forcing you to always use its tray. Furthermore, the mouth of the ice crusher is small and allows you to insert one or two cubes at a time, making the use of the funnel useless. Low noise. I have used it with empty and semi-empty cubes. I have never tried it with "full" domestic cubes. Overall, I am satisfied.

Questa è una macchina tritaghiaccio essenzialmente per cocktail e per raffreddare le bevande in generale. Trita tanto ghiaccio (15 kg l’ora) e lo fa in modo sicuro e neanche tanto rumoroso - credevo peggio, a dire il vero. Nella parte alta ha un imbuto che serve ad inserire i cubetti di ghiaccio da tritare. I cubetti vanno fatti scendere da soli, senza spingere o comunque toccarli in altro modo. Il ghiaccio tritato finisce nel contenitore di plastica sottostante, apribile a cassetto. La macchina può lavorare per circa 5 minuti, dopo di che il cassetto del ghiaccio è quasi pieno. La macchina è in plastica, con finiture acciaio spazzolato. Ha una estetica gradevolmente razionale. E’ robusta e facile da pulire in tutte le sue parti. La zona delle lame va solo sciacquata versando poca acqua fredda o tiepida, per togliere i residui di ghiaccio, e va lasciata asciugare da sola. E’ sicura, nel senso che per non si può accedere alle lame per errore. Non parte se il cassetto è posizionato male. Ha una ventola di raffreddamento nella parte posteriore, per ridurre il calore di motore e lame. Ha dei piedini antiscivolo per evitare che si muova. E’ un oggetto razionale: trita il ghiaccio e lo fa come deve. L’estetica è semplice e funzionale. I difetti: la dimensione del ghiaccio tritato è fissa. Ho provato a tritare una seconda volta il ghiaccio già tritato, per ridurne ulteriormente la dimensione: un po’ funziona, ma questo causa inceppamenti. Il manuale è in inglese, ma la macchina è semplice da usare, basta mettere il cestello di raccolta, versare il ghiaccio da triitare nell’imbuto e premere il tasto anteriore. E’ opportuno non attaccare la macchina al muro o ad oggetti appesi, esempio gli strofinacci, mentre la si usa, per via della ventola posteriore che deve essere lasciata libera durante il funzionamento. Tanto ghiaccio tritato in fretta, senza doverlo fare a mano, e senza che il ghiaccio si sminuzzi eccessivamente. In fondo fa quello che deve, semba affidabile e non ha funzioni inutili che la farebbero costare troppo. Viene spedita dalla Germania, questo spiega molte cose ;)

This is an ice crusher essentially for cocktails and for cooling drinks in general. It crushes a lot of ice (15 kg per hour) and does so safely and not too noisy - I expected worse, to tell the truth. In the upper part it has a funnel that is used to insert the ice cubes to be crushed. The cubes must be lowered by themselves, without pushing or touching them in any other way. The crushed ice ends up in the plastic container underneath, which can be opened like a drawer. The machine can work for about 5 minutes, after which the ice drawer is almost full. The machine is made of plastic, with brushed steel finishes. It has a pleasantly rational aesthetic. It is robust and easy to clean in all its parts. The blade area only needs to be rinsed by pouring a little cold or warm water, to remove the ice residue, and should be left to dry on its own. It is safe, in the sense that the blades cannot be accessed by mistake. It does not start if the drawer is positioned incorrectly. It has a cooling fan in the rear part, to reduce the heat of the motor and blades. It has non-slip feet to prevent it from moving. It is a rational object: it crushes ice and does it as it should. The aesthetics are simple and functional. The defects: the size of the crushed ice is fixed. I tried to crush the already crushed ice a second time, to further reduce its size: it works a bit, but this causes jams. The manual is in English, but the machine is simple to use, just put the collection basket, pour the ice to be crushed into the funnel and press the front button. It is advisable not to attach the machine to the wall or to hanging objects, such as dish towels, while using it, because of the rear fan that must be left free during operation. Lots of quickly crushed ice, without having to do it by hand, and without the ice being excessively crushed. Basically it does what it should, seems reliable and does not have useless functions that would make it cost too much. It is shipped from Germany, this explains a lot ;)
