The Nostaglia RSM702 does indeed Cut/Grind up ICE into crystals!!  Downside is cleanup, but is a minor issue.

The Nostaglia RSM702 does indeed Cut/Grind up ICE into crystals!! Downside is cleanup, but is a minor issue.
I found comparing the various models available on the site a bit overwhelming, and ended up getting this "RSM702" in May 2017 mostly on it's seemingly small footprint and the excellent video another purchaser provided.May write a long/boring explanation later, but here are some of the highlights.==============================================================DOES IT WORK: Yes! (RSM702 circa May 2017.. Cannot speak for past or future revisions)DOES IT MAKE FLUFFY SNOW: No, not really. It is thicker than snow you find blowing about in drifts, etc.WHAT DOES IT MAKE: Large-ish snow "crystals" like you might find on your windshield by the wipers. Thicker than "fluffy drift-snow".DOES IT TAKE "FREEZER" ICE CUBES: Yes. But you are supposed to "let them sit" a bit to "melt/soften" them first.HOW MANY CUBES CAN FIT INSIDE: Instructions say 4-5 but can hold more. I was using 6, but was still room for more in the bowl.HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO "CUT UP" THE ICE: Less than 30 seconds, but there is always some "ice residue" left behind.HOW DOES IT PROCESS ICE: There are 3 plastic "fins" in the bowl that spin and force the cubes over a small blade located in the front of the unit. This cuts the ice into little bits which fall down a hole near the blade and out the nozzle in the front.DOES IT HAVE AN ON/OFF SWITCH: No. You "turn the lid" to lock the lid in place which starts the plastic fins spinning. Unlock to turn off.IS THE "CONE HOLDER" REMOVABLE: Yes. It is held on by plastic pegs and comes "reversed" inside the bottom of the unit for shipping. You can leave it there if you want and just use a glass or something to hold the cones. Or use a bowl, etc.IS IT "LOUD": Depends on the person, but I would say yes. Inexpensive item = no sound insulation.DIMENSIONS: 7 3/4" depth; 7" width; 12" height.CORD LENGTH: About 31" not counting the plug.POWER: Varies. Says 30w on the unit. Kill-o-Watt showed it "peaked" at 27w as it began to grind into six cubes, but quickly dropped down to the mid-teens as the ice was processed away. If you let the blades spin while it's empty, the unit whirs along at 7.8 watts.WHAT IS IT MADE OF: Mostly plastic and phillips-head screws, along with the metal cutting blade of course. It has rubber suction cups on the bottom to "hold it" to a surface. Unfortunately the cups don't hold to the glass tray I am using, so will have to improvise.WHY IS CLEANUP A DOWNSIDE: There is a gap between the Plastic Fins and the surface of the bowl where the ice cubes sit. It is not a tight contact like between windshield wipers and a winshield, so a small amount of ice will always be left behind in the bowl since the fins cannot force all the crystals down the hole by the blade. Additionally some leftover ice may be found clumped inside the nozzle itself, but this can be knocked down with a sppon or something. The fins may also shoot bits-o-ice up between the lid and the top of the bowl, so there might be bit-o-ice clustered just under the lid.The trick is this - as this unit is All One Piece you cannot take it apart (without a screwdriver) so there will be bits-o-ice left inside the top of the unit after each use. Best way to cope with this is to place a bowl or something under the nozzle and let the remaining ice melt/drip it's way out. Once the ice residue has melted, you can dry what water is left in the bowl/lid area with a cloth/towel/etc. Just always be careful of where the blade is. The instructions say that there will be some water dripping out the nozzle after each use, and states "this is normal".Note: If you move the unit while water is still around the top, it could shift and drip inside the rest of the unit. So try to make sure the top area is dry before moving/tilting it. "Cleaning" is just moving a cloth around the fins and such. Unless you have at it with a screwdriver, looks like no way to clean the individual parts.Unrelated: There are some more expensive "all metal" units that appear to be able to grind up over a hundred pounds of ice without a care, and these have a blade which can be adjusted (screwdriver?) to allow thinner cuts and I guess, make "fluffy snow ice". These units are also All One Piece so cleaning is still just moving a cloth around. The all metal unit is also larger and I went with the RSM702 to save on countertop space. Finally I have just a regular freezer for making ice cubes, so unless I buy bags-and-bags of ice from a store, would never have over a hundred pounds of ice to process. I did process three groups of six-cubes-each to make a bowl full of ice, and all seemed well. I left another small bowl under the nozzle to catch the drips and came by later with a cloth after the ice residue had melted.Back Story: For two years I had been using a 2008-era Model X hand blender with chopper attachment to crush ice. I would stuff the chopper attachment with ice cubes and grind away. It would make "fluffy snow" ice but would also leave sizable pieces of ice untouched. Then the plastic gears in the chopper and blender itself started to fail, and finally died. Did some reading after the fact and learned that "can crush ice" translates in English to "can crush ice THAT HAS BEEN PRE-CRUSHED BY SOMETHING ELSE FIRST." So opted to get something that alleged to crush non-precrushed ice, and ended up getting the RSM702. Also ended up getting a low tech hand blender for simple mixing as the more sophisticated 2017-era models all have an annoying safety switch on top.

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2023
Different ice gives you different consistencies. It works better with smaller, softer cubes opposed to the standard cube of an ice tray. If you use ice from the freezer then it’s more of a snow texture & it takes longer to shave. But I’ve been using bagged ice or ice from restaurants & it’s more of a icee consistency. I’ve used it about 5 times since it was delivered yesterday evening. It is very wobbly so I hold it down with my hand but it’s not a deal breaker. Size wise, it’s no bigger than my air fryer.
