Key takeaways
- Compare 10 Hawaiian shaved ice machine listings: S700, S900A, S777 and HomePro kits, plus two outside brands. Check contents, counts and who each suits.
The best Hawaiian shaved ice machine for most households is a Hawaiian Shaved Ice kit that already includes syrups, cups and spouts, since a bare shaver leaves you shopping for the rest. The S700 and S900A lines cover the entry range, the S777 adds a blade adjustment knob, and the HomePro kits top this list. Two machines from other brands are added as outside comparisons. Everything here comes from listing titles, so confirm details on each page before buying.

The machines and kits, one by one
Hawaiian Shaved Ice S700 Kit with Six Syrups
The title lists six 16 oz syrups (Cherry, Grape, Blue Raspberry, Tiger’s Blood, Lemon-Lime, Pina Colada), 25 snow cone cups, 25 spoon straws and six pouring spouts. That is the most self-contained S700 listing here, so a first batch needs no extra shopping. Motor and blade details are not in the title; read the product page for those. It looks almost identical to the three-syrup S700 below, so compare the flavor lists line by line.
- Pros: six flavors in the box; cups, straws and spouts included.
- Cons: no machine specifications in the title; 25 cups vanish quickly at a bigger gathering.
Who it’s for: first-time buyers who want one purchase to cover the whole serving table.
Hawaiian Shaved Ice S700 Kid-Friendly Kit with Three Syrups
Same S700 name, smaller flavor set: Cherry, Grape and Blue Raspberry in 16 oz bottles, plus 25 cups, 25 spoon straws and three black bottle pourers. The title calls it kid-friendly, which is a marketing label rather than a safety rating, so any child near an electric appliance still needs an adult beside them. If you only serve classic red, purple and blue, you lose nothing against the six-syrup kit.
- Pros: three familiar flavors; pourers and straws included.
- Cons: fewer syrups than the six-flavor S700; no specifications in the title.
Who it’s for: families who want a simple starter kit and plan to buy refills later.
Hawaiian Shaved Ice S777 with Blade Adjustment Knob
This is the only listing in the group that mentions a blade adjustment knob, which suggests some control over how coarse or fine the ice comes out. The title also lists five reusable plastic ice mold cups, 120V operation and a matte black finish, and suggests granitas, seltzers and Italian soda as uses. No syrups are mentioned, so budget for flavoring separately. Check the listing for how the knob works.
- Pros: adjustable blade control mentioned; five ice mold cups.
- Cons: no syrups or serving cups mentioned; the knob’s range is not described.
Who it’s for: people who care about texture and want drinks beyond plain snow cones.
Hawaiian Shaved Ice HomePro Kit with Six Syrups
The HomePro name sits above S700 in this lineup, and this listing bundles six 16 oz syrups (same flavors as the six-syrup S700), 50 spoon straws and six black pour spouts. The straw count is double the S700 kits, which matters for larger groups. Cups are not mentioned in the title, so confirm whether they come in the box.
- Pros: largest accessory count in the group; six flavors.
- Cons: cups not mentioned in the title; capacity and motor details missing.
Who it’s for: hosts of big parties who want the biggest bundle from this brand.
Hawaiian Shaved Ice S900A Complete Party Kit
The title describes the S900A as a professional fluffy ice machine for home use, made in USA, bundled with flavor syrups as a complete party kit. It does not list syrup count, cup count or capacity, so those are the first things to check. The wording sounds like a step up from a bare machine, yet the title alone cannot tell you what is in the box.
- Pros: kit format with syrups; fluffy ice promised in the title.
- Cons: contents are not itemized in the title; ‘professional’ is a marketing word.
Who it’s for: buyers who prefer the S900A body but still want a bundle.
Hawaiian Shaved Ice Machine Kit with Three Flavors
This listing does not name a model. It promises three flavors, 25 cups, straws, pourers and ice molds. Ice molds matter because they imply shaving from frozen blocks, a different workflow from loading loose cubes. With the model name missing, check the product photos to see which machine body you actually receive.
- Pros: ice molds included; full serving accessories.
- Cons: no model name in the title; syrup sizes not stated.
Who it’s for: buyers who want a ready kit and will verify the model before ordering.
Hawaiian Shaved Ice HomePro Machine Kit
The shortest title of the group: HomePro Shaved Ice Machine Kit, with nothing about syrups, cups or capacity. Treat it as a possible machine-plus-basics option and read the page to see what the kit contains. Do not assume it matches the longer HomePro listing above, because the two titles describe different things.
- Pros: HomePro line; kit wording.
- Cons: title lists no contents; easy to confuse with the six-syrup HomePro.
Who it’s for: careful shoppers who will read the full description first.
Hawaiian Shaved Ice Machine S900A, White
A plain listing: S900A, white, ice shaver and snow cone machine. No syrups, cups or capacity appear in the title, so this looks like a machine-only purchase. That can be sensible if you already own syrups, cups and a pitcher. The S900A reappears in the party kit above, so the bare version only makes sense if you want to skip the extras.
- Pros: simple, machine-focused listing; white finish.
- Cons: no accessories mentioned; no specifications in the title.
Who it’s for: people who already own syrups and serving cups.
Reespring Snow Cone Machine with Four Blades (not a Hawaiian Shaved Ice brand)
Included as an outside comparison. The title lists four blades, 300W at 2000r/min, a free ice pick, an ice cube tray and six syrup dispensers. Unlike the Hawaiian Shaved Ice kits, no syrup flavors are mentioned, only dispensers. The figures are the seller’s own, so confirm them on the page and check electrical details before plugging in.
- Pros: wattage and blade count stated; ice pick and tray included.
- Cons: no syrups in the title; a different brand, so Hawaiian-specific accessories will not apply.
Who it’s for: shoppers who want to compare a non-Hawaiian machine with stated motor numbers.
Nostalgia Retro Table-Top Snow Cone Machine in Retro Red (not a Hawaiian Shaved Ice brand)
Another outside comparison, built around looks. The title says it makes 20 icy treats and includes two reusable plastic cups and an ice scoop. Syrup is not mentioned, so flavoring is a separate cost. Retro styling sits well on a counter, though the title offers no motor or blade information to weigh against the Hawaiian-brand kits.
- Pros: table-top retro style; cups and scoop included.
- Cons: capacity limited to 20 treats per the title; no syrup or specs listed.
Who it’s for: casual buyers who value appearance and a light-duty setup.
How to read a Hawaiian Shaved Ice listing
Model name versus what is in the box
The same machine name appears in several listings with different contents. The S700 shows up as a three-syrup and a six-syrup kit, and the S900A as a bare machine and a party kit. The model alone tells you nothing about the bundle, so read the accessory list.
Ice texture and blade control
Fluffy snow absorbs syrup rather than letting it run to the bottom of the cup. One title promises fluffy ice, and another gives you a blade adjustment knob. Neither title explains how fine the result is, so look for the manufacturer’s description of what the blade produces.
Cup, straw and syrup counts
Counts in titles are your only hard numbers. A kit with 25 cups and 25 straws serves 25 people once. A kit with six syrups lets six guests pick different flavors at once. Match these figures to your guest list.
Worked example: a party of eighteen
Say eighteen guests each want one cone. The S700 kits list 25 cups, leaving seven spare. The HomePro listing gives 50 straws but no cups, so you would supply serving cups yourself. The S777 lists five ice mold cups, which shape ice rather than serve it. For eighteen guests, the six-syrup S700 is the only listing that clearly covers cups, straws, spouts and flavors without extras.
Electrical and blade care
The S777 title says 120V, which fits a standard US wall socket. Keep cords dry and away from sticky syrup, keep fingers clear of blades, and unplug before cleaning. Follow the manual for all care instructions.
Storage between parties
Sticky syrup residue and leftover meltwater are the usual problems after an event. Empty the ice chamber, wipe surfaces as the manual directs, and let every part dry before packing the machine away. Keep syrup bottles capped and upright, and read the label for storage guidance once opened.
How we picked these
The Editorial team read each listing title and compared included items, counts and stated features. Where a title was vague we said so rather than guessing, and where a listing came from a different brand we labeled it. Our basis is published specifications, manufacturer documentation and buyer reviews. Nobody on the team used or measured these units.
Mistakes buyers make
- Assuming the model name defines the contents, then finding no syrups or cups.
- Counting syrup bottles but forgetting cup and straw counts.
- Treating ‘kid-friendly’ as a safety guarantee.
- Overlooking that a bare machine needs syrups, cups and an ice source.
- Buying another brand’s machine and expecting Hawaiian Shaved Ice accessories to fit.
Verdict
For the easiest first purchase, the S700 with six syrups covers the most items. If texture matters more, pick the S777. If you host large groups, the HomePro six-syrup kit brings the most straws and spouts. Keep the Reespring and Nostalgia listings for comparison shopping only.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the S700 and S900A?
The titles do not explain it, so check each product page. What the titles do show is that S700 listings are sold as kits with syrups and cups, while one S900A listing is machine-only and another is a party kit. Compare contents line by line rather than assuming a model name means better ice.
Is a Hawaiian Shaved Ice kit better than a bare machine?
A kit saves you from sourcing syrups, cups and spouts. A bare machine suits you if you already own those items. Count what you would still have to buy separately, then compare the totals before deciding.
Can I use these machines for drinks other than snow cones?
The S777 title mentions granitas, seltzers and Italian soda. For other models, the titles say snow cone or shaved ice, so confirm any extra uses in the manufacturer’s instructions.
Are these safe for children to operate?
One title says kid-friendly, but that is a marketing description. Machines with blades and electric motors should be run by an adult, with children limited to pouring syrup and eating. Read the manual for age guidance.
Which kit suits a party of twenty guests?
Count the cups in the title first: 25 cups cover twenty guests once, with little spare. The HomePro six-syrup listing gives 50 straws but names no cups, and the S777 lists five ice mold cups, so either would need extra serving cups.
