I was wary of the product based on the other review available, but having seen a colleague of mine use one, I decided to try it.
It's a very simple piece of equipment. Basically, a plane with a storage container and a flap inside which is supposed to push the ice out (and doesn't do so very well). The blade is removable and adjustable, so the first thing I did was take it out and notice the defects on the cutting edge and resharpen. When I put the blade back in, I adjusted the blade length so that it would shave fairly coarse ice. Washing with hot water and dish soap was enough to remove any industrial oils. This is not stainless steel, so it needs to be very dry before putting away or it will rust.
I found that it took a little big of scraping before it would shave ice reliably. It seems to like very slightly uneven ice, but not too bumpy and not too smooth, in order to scrape the most ice. It's a coarser end product than the stuff you get at fairs and from hand crank or electric machines, but it's a bit more satisfying, too.
I ended up ordering two additional ice shavers to take to a festival this summer so my campsite can be the envy of all other campsites with our cold treats.

Have not used this product as yet but I have seen how to use it. I need a block of ice to use, but I can see the kids having fun with it.
