Does this machine keep the ice from melting?

It shoots the ice out as it shaves it. The inside compartment where you put the uncrushed ice is metal

This is not a freezer so the ice continually melts and new ice is formed. The drain pump is getting all the melted ice out of the unit to avoid ice blocks, etc.Tthe ice is always chewable and super fresh, just like with commercial ice makers.

Hi, this freezer doesn't make ice, and I doubt it can at least keep the ice inside without melting. It's in my office and I'm at home now, so I can't tell you how deep it is. Anyway, I don't think it will work for you.

I just installed this ice maker and am having the same issue. The ice comes off in a big block and does not separate without beating on it with the scoop. Still does not completely separate. We have reduced the temperature and it is a bit better. Going to reduce the temp a couple more degrees and see if that is the fix.

it doesn't keep ice cold. it just makes ice and holds that ice, which then melts and gets made into more ice. it is constantly making ice. until it breaks and you are just SOL, which will happen soon after you buy it.

It has a non heat setting, which usually works, but I don't think you can add ice.

No , but if it's sunny & not too cold it may keep ice from forming. It only bubbles when the sun is shining directly on the panel.

I dont think so. We used bagged. I think a shaved ice machine uses blocked ice.

It only takes seconds for the machine to shave the ice. The ice will start to melt immediately, if you are outside, make those sno cones quickly! Its a great, powerful machine.

Yes. It is not a holding freezer. You need to empty the basket into your ice chest when full. You can turn it off and the ice will melt into the water tank below the holding basket. Any other questions let me know. C.B.

No! It's cooled with an thermoelectric element (Peltier-Element) which are those metal sheets next to each other and a ventilator (which makes some noise) which helps distributing the cooler air in the box. That's all. We use ice to cool it down fast and keep it "fridge cold" for a little while (ice will melt in a day, even with this thing running for 4 to 8 hours while on the road in summer time).

Yes-from manufacturer. I could not keep my machine going even with replacement parts. It is a nice machine and makes soft ice fast but marginal in reliability.

Not that I am aware of. It should make ice until you manually cut it off by pushing the arm all the way up until it locks in place.

Absolutely! The best part is the inner black lining is removable so you can unzip it and dump the melted ice when you are done.

Yes I use mine to crush ice. sometimes you have to shack it because ice gets wet and sticks but it also does that in a blender

This is a great machine, but what determines the ice is the ice you put in it. We have found that store bought bagged ice works much better than ice from our own refrigerator ice maker.

Same on mine. It also didn't have the heat symbol. But it seems to melt the ice though.
