Query: Chopped ice and a conversation piece

Since we do not have a through the door ice dispenser with an automatic ice crusher, yet had a "pressing" need for crushed ice for our Mojitos I began a quest for a sturdy and effective ice crusher. After trying several of the plastic ones out there I found this one and am happy with it.The price was right, it looks good sitting on my bar shelf and, most importantly, it chops ice well. It is a little smaller than I expected but the hopper holds enough of my freezer's "half moon" cubes to fill a drink glass.If you are looking to crush ice for a food platter this is not your machine due to volume. It does require a bit of strength but jams are easily overcome by turning the crank in the opposite direction.One warning, the handle comes very close to the base so you do have to be careful not to catch a knuckle at the bottom of a turn.
