VEVOR Snowflake Ice Machines for Shaved Ice Treats

The VEVOR Snowflake Ice Machine, model ZB-2002M, is the home-sized option. It makes up to 44 pounds of snowflake ice per day from a 0.2-gallon tank. The listing says its air cooling system pre-cools in 60 seconds, then makes ice in about 3 seconds, and that it works with water, milk, juice, soda or coffee.

It has 8 speed settings. Changing the roller speed changes the texture: fluffy snowflakes, thin strips, noodle-like ribbons or flakes. A touch panel handles speed, one-touch cleaning and roller speed indicator lights. The body is ABS plastic, while the cooling roller is SUS304 food-grade stainless steel and the blades are SUS420 stainless. It draws 170 watts and weighs 17.6 pounds. The model name field oddly reads “Roaster Oven,” which is clearly a listing error.

It suits families, dessert fans and anyone giving a fun kitchen gift. For a shop serving customers all day, the commercial models below produce far more. If you also like frozen drinks, a VEVOR slushie machine is a related treat maker.

VEVOR Commercial Snowflake Ice Machine

Best for: Busy dessert shops with high volume

Pros

• Up to 529.1 lb per day
• Liquid cooling system
• Adjustable roller speed

Cons

• Listing weight figure is unreliable
• Accessories not listed

Best for: Small cafés and tea shops starting out

Pros

• Up to 176.4 lb per day
• Stainless steel body
• Two 3L buckets and scoop included
• Speed display on panel

Cons

• Air cooling needs room to vent
• Heavy at 51.4 lb

The VEVOR Commercial Snowflake Ice Machine, model FC80FD-1, steps up to 176.4 pounds per day. It uses a compressor and an air cooling system to shed heat, cools in 40 seconds, and produces ice about 3 seconds after pre-cooling. Adjusting the roller speed gives snow, spaghetti or waterfall shapes.

The body is mainly SUS201 stainless steel, the roller is food-grade SUS304 and the blades are 5CR15 stainless. An intelligent touch panel covers speed adjustment and one-touch cleaning, and a display shows roller speed. It comes with two 3-liter buckets and an ice shovel, and weighs 51.4 pounds. Air-cooled machines need space around the vents to push warm air out, so leave room on the counter.

It suits tea shops, bakeries and cafés adding snow ice to the menu. If you expect lines out the door, the liquid-cooled model next is built for more volume.

The VEVOR Commercial Snowflake Ice Machine rated at 529.1 pounds per day is the biggest producer here. It uses a compressor with a liquid cooling system, which moves heat away with coolant rather than air, and the listing gives 600 watts. Like the air-cooled version, it cools in 40 seconds, makes ice 3 seconds after pre-cooling, and offers snow, spaghetti and waterfall textures.

Build materials match the smaller commercial model: SUS201 stainless body, SUS304 roller, 5CR15 blades, touch panel with one-touch cleaning and a speed display. The listing has a clear error: it gives the item weight as 529.1 pounds, the same as its daily output, so the real weight is not specified. It also lists only the machine as included, without buckets or a shovel.

It suits established dessert shops with steady traffic. For a new or seasonal business, the 176.4-pound model is easier to start with.

VEVOR 110V Commercial Ice Crusher 661LBS

Best for: Snow cone stands using ready-made ice

Pros

• Dual stainless steel blades
• ETL certified
• 50L shaved ice bin
• Waterproof on/off switch

Cons

• Crushes existing ice, does not freeze
• 6-month warranty

The VEVOR 110V Commercial Ice Crusher 661LBS per hour is not a snowflake machine. It does not freeze anything; you feed in ice cubes through a 4.5-inch stainless steel hopper, and dual stainless blades shave them into snow cone ice. That produces the classic crunchy snow cone texture you pour syrup over, rather than milky snow ice.

The listing names ETL certification for commercial use, a 300W copper motor at 1,450 rpm, a 50-liter (13.2-gallon) storage box that holds shaved ice, a drainage hose for meltwater, an ergonomic handle, a safety limit switch and a waterproof on/off switch. VEVOR says an extra pair of blades and an ice scoop are available at no charge, and lists a 30-day return for quality problems, a 6-month warranty and lifetime technical service. It weighs 23.2 pounds.

It suits snow cone stands, school fairs and bars that already have an ice supply. Pair it with a cube ice maker like the ones below.

Best for: Bars needing clear cube ice

Pros

• 120 lb of cubes per day
• Faucet or bottled water
• Self-cleaning with LED panel
• Freestanding or under counter

Cons

• Makes cubes, not snowflake ice
• Must sit upright 24 hours first

The VEVOR Commercial Ice Maker Machine, model CIM-360T, makes regular square cubes, up to 120 pounds per day, with 36 cubes every 8 to 10 minutes. The cubes are 0.87 inches square and clear. It stores up to 30 pounds, and an ice-full light signals when the bin is full.

It can connect to a faucet or run from bottled water, with inlet and drain hose accessories included. An LED panel shows ambient temperature, adjustable ice thickness, a timer, one-touch cleaning and alerts for full ice, low water and errors. It is ETL certified, uses cyclopentane foam insulation and a stainless exterior, and works freestanding or under a counter with four adjustable feet. Keep it upright for 24 hours before first use. It weighs 43.7 pounds. For more models like this, see our VEVOR commercial ice maker guide.

It suits bars, cafés and restaurants that need cube ice, or a shop feeding the ice crusher above.

Best for: Home kitchens and RVs wanting built-in ice

Pros

• No drain required
• Reversible door
• 22 lb ice storage

Cons

• Only 25 lb per day
• Makes crescent cubes, not shaved ice

The VEVOR Under Counter Ice Maker Machine, model IMC25, makes crescent-shaped cubes, up to 25 pounds a day, with 22 pounds of storage. A 12-cube aluminum tray produces a batch in as little as 20 minutes.

It has a reversible stainless steel door for left or right hinging, a full-length handle and triple-layer insulation, and it can be installed under a counter, freestanding or built in. Its standout feature is that no drain is required: a built-in freezing compartment keeps ice frozen, so it can go in a kitchen, living room, patio, RV or boat. It is ETL certified, includes an ice scoop and installation kit, and weighs 56 pounds.

It suits homeowners who want a built-in ice supply for drinks. It does not make snowflake ice.
