Easy to operate Ice Crusher
Up to 15 kg crushed ice per hour
Crushes ice cubes of every size to small pieces without 'snow'
Product description
Now the cube is cracked: easy and without elbow grease, thanks to the Icebreaker ice crusher from oneConcept. Gone are the days when having crushed ice meant painstakingly crumbling ice with an ice axe or labouring over a machine that couldn’t crush ice as quickly as your drinks needed refreshing. Today, this can all be done automatically with the powerful grinder of the Icebreaker. Simply place the funnel, fill with ice cubes and turn on the device. After just a short time, the 3.5-litre (approx. 1.75kg) collector fills with perfectly chopped bits of ice. The ice crusher creates up to 15kg of crushed ice per hour, so that you can confidently provide your guests with the necessary coolant for their drinks - whether lemonade or caipirinha.
With so much power under the hood, oneConcept of course provides the ice crusher with two safety switches. The device operates only if the drip pan is properly seated and the toggle switch is pressed on the front panel. Four suction cup feet keep the Icebreaker in place and prevent unwanted trips over the bar counter. Cleaning is easy: simply run hot water through the ice crusher, and you are done.
With its brushed stainless steel case, the oneConcept ice crusher presents a cool visual appearance while underlining its grinding usefulness with a suitable look.
Available colours: brushed stainless steel (silver grey).

Ice Crusher Das Gerät erfüllt vollends meine Erwartungen, ist sehr gut verarbeitet und hat endlich das Ende meines Kurbelbetriebenen Ice Crushers eingeleitet ;-)
Ice Crusher The device fully meets my expectations, is very well made and has finally brought an end to my crank-operated ice crusher ;-)
Zustellung schlecht Zustellung nicht korrekt. Obwohl zu Hause anwesend wurde das Paket einfach vor der Türe abgestellt. Konnte den Zusteller zwar sehen aber nicht kontaktieren. Gerät soweit super aber die Zustellung sehr fragwürdig. Wer haftet wenn es wegkommt?
Bad delivery. Delivery not correct. Although I was at home, the package was simply left outside the door. I could see the delivery person but couldn't contact them. The device was great but the delivery was very questionable. Who is liable if it goes missing?
Bar, très utile et peu encombrant pour faire de la glace pillée
Bar, very useful and space-saving for making crushed ice
Glace pilée très grossière fait le job si vous voulez une glace pilée beaucoup plus fine je vous conseille de la repasser
Very coarse crushed ice does the job if you want much finer crushed ice I advise you to grind it again
Guter Kauf Super Gerät, günstig robust und macht was es soll.

Produit efficace et plus silencieux que l’ancien
Effective product and quieter than the old one
Tolles Gerät - Top Leistung Ein guter crusher um normale Eiswürfel ordentlich klein zu hacken. Der Auffangbehälter bietet viel Platz für jede Menge crushed ice und die Eissplitter haben die perfekte Größe für Cocktails und andere Kaltgetränke. Einziger Nachteil ist die Lautstärke beim kleinhacken, aber damit habe ich beim Kauf sowieso schon gerechnet.
Great device - top performance A good crusher for chopping normal ice cubes into small pieces. The collecting container offers plenty of space for lots of crushed ice and the ice chips are the perfect size for cocktails and other cold drinks. The only disadvantage is the noise when chopping, but I expected that when I bought it anyway.
Appareil simple d'utilisation, évidemment on pile de la glace, donc la machine ne peut pas être sans bruit.
Easy to use device, obviously you crush ice, so the machine cannot be silent.
Faire attention d’avoir des glaçons creux pour vraiment avoir l’effet glace pilée sinon les glaçons se bloquent dans l’appareil
Be careful to have hollow ice cubes to really have the crushed ice effect otherwise the ice cubes get stuck in the device

Was soll man groß schreiben - ich hatte erst ein Gerät für 40 €, welches nach mehreren Jahren im Elektrogerätehimmel gelandet ist. Jetzt habe ich dieses Model. Die Eiswürfel dürfen nicht zu groß sein, dann funktioniert es super mit dem Trichter. Von mir eine klare Empfehlung für diejenigen, die nicht das billigste oder das HighEnd-Gerät suchen
What should I write big - I only had a device for 40 €, which ended up in the electronic device heaven after several years. Now I have this model. The ice cubes must not be too big, then the funnel works great. A clear recommendation from me for those who are not looking for the cheapest or high-end device

Everything is good - recommended! What can I say - I first had a device for €40, which ended up in electrical appliance heaven after several years. Now I have this model. The ice cubes shouldn't be too big, then it works great with the funnel. I would definitely recommend it to those who aren't looking for the cheapest or the high-end device
Pratico e al prezzo giusto...

Schade dass kein Deckel dabei ist oben bei Eiseinwurf

Fast perfekt Das Eis wird perfekt zerkleinert. ABER die Befüllung mit den Eiswürfeln welche zerkleinert werden sollen ist mit unter etwas schwierig da die Trichteröffnung zu klein dimensioniert wurde und die Eiswürfel sich im Trichter verkanten. Am Besten funktioniert das Gerät mit Eis aus Eiswürfelbeuteln. Der Geräuschpegel geht in Ordnung. Die Außenanmutung ist durchaus als wertig anzusehen. Ich möchte auf keinen Fall jemals wieder mit einen Handkurbelgerät Eis zerkleinern.
Almost perfect The ice is crushed perfectly. BUT filling it with the ice cubes that need to be crushed is sometimes a bit difficult because the funnel opening is too small and the ice cubes get jammed in the funnel. The device works best with ice from ice cube bags. The noise level is OK. The external appearance is definitely of high quality. I definitely don't want to crush ice with a hand crank device ever again.

Macht zwar etwas Lärm aber das dürfte normal sein. Auch jetzt, 1 1/2 Jahre in ständiger Benutzung tut der Crusher was er soll. 1 x in 1~2 Wochen läuft das Teil für 10 - 15 Minuten auf Hochtouren. In Tupperware wird das Crushed Ice dann in den Tiefkühler verfrachtet und je nach Bedarf verwendet.

Nice device. It makes a bit of noise, but that's probably normal. Even now, after 1 1/2 years of constant use, the crusher does what it's supposed to. Once every 1-2 weeks, the thing runs at full speed for 10-15 minutes. The crushed ice is then stored in Tupperware in the freezer and used as needed.

Great device For me it is a great device. Makes great ice for mochitos etc. You shouldn't put too much ice in it with large ice cubes. Otherwise it could freeze. If it breaks I will need a new one.

For me it's a great device. Makes nice ice for mochito etc. Don't put in too much ice with big ice cubes. otherwise he may hang himself. If it breaks I'll need a new one.
It's a good ice crusher for the (low) price, and delivers a nicely balanced mix of shaved and 'pebble' ice, good for fruit drinks. The input hopper is a bit small and you'll need fairly small ice cubes to start with, while the cubes can sometimes get stuck in the hopper and need a bit of poking, or jam (turning off and on cures this). Overall, considering the price, it's good value, and saves a lot of work compared to a manual crusher.

Produit top efficacité, fait une belle glace pilée. Petit bémol sur la livraison . Le bac récupérateur est arrivé avec une légère rayure...
Top efficiency product, makes beautiful crushed ice. Small downside on the delivery. The collection tray arrived with a slight scratch...
Das icecrushen gelingt gut, bedienung ist sehr simpel. Die verarbeitungsqualität entspricht dem preis. Größter kritikpunkt: das getriebe ist sehr laut. Immerhin leiser als mit dem hammer eiswürfel zu zertrümmern, aber eben echt laut ( auch wenn kein eis zertrümmert wird und das gerät leer läuft).
The ice crushing works well, operation is very simple. The processing quality corresponds to the price. Biggest point of criticism: the gearbox is very loud. At least quieter than smashing ice cubes with a hammer, but really loud (even if no ice is smashed and the device runs empty).

At least it's quieter than smashing ice cubes with a hammer, but it's still really loud (even when no ice is being crushed and the device is running empty).
I use this ice machine for crushing ice to use on my knee replacement., which is great for the healing and exercise program. put the crushed ice in plastic bag on top of a wet drying towel and leave it on for 20 mins, do this as often as you want great relief. The machine is easy to use ice is not slushy still has some body.... highly recommended

bel prodotto, funzionale. Tuttavia dopo meno di una settimana di utilizzo nemmeno troppo intenso, ha smesso di tritare il ghiaccio: il motore girava, ma dal nulla le lame non tritavano più. Peccato. Reso.
nice product, functional. However, after less than a week of not too intense use, it stopped crushing the ice: the motor turned, but out of nowhere the blades stopped crushing. Too bad. Returned.
Proprio quello che cercavamo! Per i malati di granite
Just what we were looking for! For those who love slush
Produit imposant mais fait son travail. Les morceaux nécessitent cependant un second passage si vous voulez avoir un bon pillage (pour Mojito...) Niveau sécurité le clapet qui remonte devant les lames est bien pensé, ça évite tout accident si on doit pousser les morceaux avec les doigts. Pas si bruyant que ça pour ce type d'équipement. Le débit est impressionnant. Avis aux fans d'apéro, ce produit est fait pour vous
Imposing product but does its job. The pieces however require a second pass if you want to have a good pillage (for Mojito ...) In terms of safety, the flap that goes up in front of the blades is well thought out, it prevents any accident if you have to push the pieces with your fingers. Not that noisy for this type of equipment. The flow rate is impressive. Notice to aperitif fans, this product is made for you
Acquistato per un uso medio frequente, con ottima riuscita. Tutti i giorni è utilizzato per la creazione di Moiti nel bar di nostri conoscenti. Poco ingombrante, di facile utilizzo, bello estiticamente. Per esigenze personali ho pensato, visto che la vaschetta raccogli ghiaccio trittato, ha uno spinotto inglobato per dare il consenso all'utilizzo e pertanto senza la vaschetta non è possibile l'utilizzo; di creare uno "spinotto" indipendente costruito con una bacchetta di legno "tipo bastoncino cinese" che mi permette di dare il consenso di accensione mettendo direttamente sotto il bicchiere anzichè la sua vaschetta in dtazione. In questo modo trito direttamente il ghiaccio a me necessario di per il tipo di chocktail nel suo bicchiere. Ritengo questo accorgimento non uno difetto di costruzione perchè la macchina è eccezzionale, ma solo una miglioria alle esigenze personali. Azzienda affidabile e prodotto arrivato nei tempi stabiliti.
Purchased for medium-frequent use, with excellent results. It is used every day to create Moiti in our acquaintances' bar. Small in size, easy to use, aesthetically beautiful. For personal needs I thought, given that the crushed ice collection tray has a built-in plug to give consent for use and therefore without the tray it is not possible to use; to create an independent "plug" built with a wooden stick "Chinese stick type" that allows me to give consent for switching on by placing the glass directly underneath instead of its supplied tray. In this way I directly crush the ice I need for the type of cocktail in its glass. I believe this measure is not a construction defect because the machine is exceptional, but only an improvement to personal needs. Reliable company and product arrived on time.
Semplicissima da usare e in 30 secondi si ha ghiaccio tritato grosso per vere granite
Very simple to use and in 30 seconds you have coarsely crushed ice for real slushes
Dit apparaat werkt goed! Dit apparaat werkt goed als shredder van ijsklontjes. Het scherfjesijs is lekker in de limonade.
This device works well! This device works well as an ice cube shredder. The flaked ice is delicious in lemonade.
Fait bien son travail. Pas de problème rencontré en 2 mois d'utilisations

Utilisé pour un restaurant , nous avons remplacé notre pilleuse à main par ce modèle électrique qui nous fais gagner du temps , cependant sa robustesse semble limitée
Used for a restaurant, we replaced our hand crusher with this electric model which saves us time, however its robustness seems limited
Implacable pour mes Mojitos, plus la peine de passer 1h à piller la glace avec mon précédent pilleur manuel. Je recommande, à voir si fiable dans le temps car j'en fais un usage intensif ;-)
Relentless for my Mojitos, no need to spend 1 hour plundering the ice with my previous manual plunderer. I recommend it, to see if reliable over time because I use it intensively ;-)
Produit un peu imposant niveau taille, mais beau design. S'utilise avec grande facilité, il y a une sécurité sur le bac pour que la machine ne marche pas sans qu'il soit bien enclenché. La machine est plus bruyante que ce que je pensais, pas par son moteur mais avec la descente des glaçons qui reste bruyante. Mais sinon elle est super, les glaçons sont parfaits pour les mojitos, et c'est très rapide. Je suis très satisfaite
Product a little imposing in terms of size, but beautiful design. It is very easy to use, there is a safety on the tray so that the machine does not work without it being properly engaged. The machine is noisier than I thought, not because of its motor but with the descent of the ice cubes which remains noisy. But otherwise it is great, the ice cubes are perfect for mojitos, and it is very fast. I am very satisfied

oneConcept Icebreaker • Ice Crusher •... funktioniert perfekt und zerkleinert die eiswürfel auf schnellstem weg. endlich muss ich kein crushed eis mehr kaufen. einziges manko. die eis auffang schublade lässt sich nicht arretieren und sollte beim einsatz festgehalten werden.
oneConcept Icebreaker • Ice Crusher •... works perfectly and crushes the ice cubes as quickly as possible. Finally, I don't have to buy crushed ice anymore. The only drawback. The ice collecting drawer cannot be locked and should be held in place when in use.
Il fait des brisures de glace qui convient à tous les usages, apéritifs, préparation de cocktails, en tapis sous les huitres, ... J'enlève une étoile, car celui que j'ai reçu n'est pas d'un rouge vif comme sur la présentation mais plutôt rouge pâle tendant sur le rose. Mais ça n'enlève rien à ses qualités.
It makes ice chips that are suitable for all uses, appetizers, cocktail preparation, as a mat under oysters, ... I remove a star, because the one I received is not a bright red as on the presentation but rather pale red tending towards pink. But that does not detract from its qualities.
Macchina molto buona e arrivata nei tempi previsti. Bisogna fare attenzione ad utilizzarla nel modo migliore. Utilizzabile anche in serate molto grandi
Very good machine and arrived on time. You have to be careful to use it in the best way. Can also be used on very large evenings
Macchina ok.Perfetra per cocktails pestati e non solo. Veloce, contenitore capiente per almeno 6/7 drink .Bella e comoda. Rumorosità accettabile
Machine ok. Perfect for crushed cocktails and more. Fast, large container for at least 6/7 drinks. Beautiful and comfortable. Acceptable noise
Ho acquistato questo prodotto per uso professionale. Lo uso tutti i giorni nel mio locale. Esteticamente é molto carino, é tutto in plastica, non occupa molto spazio ed é costruito bene. Il ghiaccio viene spezzato grossolanamente e non tritato, il che lo rende un partner ideale per preparare Mojito e Caipirinha. E' pratico e veloce. Tuttavia il cavo di alimentazione é troppo corto (basta mettere una prolunga), lo spazio sotto le lame é ridotto e non si riesce a sistemare un bicchiere obbligandoti ad utilizzare sempre la sua vaschetta. Inoltre l'imboccatura del tritaghiaccio é piccola e ti permette di inserire uno o due cubetti alla volta rendendo vano l'utilizzo dell'imbuto. Rumorosità contenuta. Io l'ho utilizzato con cubetti vuoti e semi-vuoti. Non l'ho mai provato con cubetti domestici "pieni". In generale sono soddisfatto.
I bought this product for professional use. I use it every day in my restaurant. It is very nice looking, it is all plastic, it does not take up much space and it is well built. The ice is roughly broken and not crushed, which makes it an ideal partner for preparing Mojitos and Caipirinhas. It is practical and fast. However, the power cord is too short (just put an extension), the space under the blades is limited and you cannot fit a glass, forcing you to always use its tray. Furthermore, the mouth of the ice crusher is small and allows you to insert one or two cubes at a time, making the use of the funnel useless. Low noise. I have used it with empty and semi-empty cubes. I have never tried it with "full" domestic cubes. Overall, I am satisfied.
Questa è una macchina tritaghiaccio essenzialmente per cocktail e per raffreddare le bevande in generale. Trita tanto ghiaccio (15 kg l’ora) e lo fa in modo sicuro e neanche tanto rumoroso - credevo peggio, a dire il vero. Nella parte alta ha un imbuto che serve ad inserire i cubetti di ghiaccio da tritare. I cubetti vanno fatti scendere da soli, senza spingere o comunque toccarli in altro modo. Il ghiaccio tritato finisce nel contenitore di plastica sottostante, apribile a cassetto. La macchina può lavorare per circa 5 minuti, dopo di che il cassetto del ghiaccio è quasi pieno. La macchina è in plastica, con finiture acciaio spazzolato. Ha una estetica gradevolmente razionale. E’ robusta e facile da pulire in tutte le sue parti. La zona delle lame va solo sciacquata versando poca acqua fredda o tiepida, per togliere i residui di ghiaccio, e va lasciata asciugare da sola. E’ sicura, nel senso che per non si può accedere alle lame per errore. Non parte se il cassetto è posizionato male. Ha una ventola di raffreddamento nella parte posteriore, per ridurre il calore di motore e lame. Ha dei piedini antiscivolo per evitare che si muova. E’ un oggetto razionale: trita il ghiaccio e lo fa come deve. L’estetica è semplice e funzionale. I difetti: la dimensione del ghiaccio tritato è fissa. Ho provato a tritare una seconda volta il ghiaccio già tritato, per ridurne ulteriormente la dimensione: un po’ funziona, ma questo causa inceppamenti. Il manuale è in inglese, ma la macchina è semplice da usare, basta mettere il cestello di raccolta, versare il ghiaccio da triitare nell’imbuto e premere il tasto anteriore. E’ opportuno non attaccare la macchina al muro o ad oggetti appesi, esempio gli strofinacci, mentre la si usa, per via della ventola posteriore che deve essere lasciata libera durante il funzionamento. Tanto ghiaccio tritato in fretta, senza doverlo fare a mano, e senza che il ghiaccio si sminuzzi eccessivamente. In fondo fa quello che deve, semba affidabile e non ha funzioni inutili che la farebbero costare troppo. Viene spedita dalla Germania, questo spiega molte cose ;)
This is an ice crusher essentially for cocktails and for cooling drinks in general. It crushes a lot of ice (15 kg per hour) and does so safely and not too noisy - I expected worse, to tell the truth. In the upper part it has a funnel that is used to insert the ice cubes to be crushed. The cubes must be lowered by themselves, without pushing or touching them in any other way. The crushed ice ends up in the plastic container underneath, which can be opened like a drawer. The machine can work for about 5 minutes, after which the ice drawer is almost full. The machine is made of plastic, with brushed steel finishes. It has a pleasantly rational aesthetic. It is robust and easy to clean in all its parts. The blade area only needs to be rinsed by pouring a little cold or warm water, to remove the ice residue, and should be left to dry on its own. It is safe, in the sense that the blades cannot be accessed by mistake. It does not start if the drawer is positioned incorrectly. It has a cooling fan in the rear part, to reduce the heat of the motor and blades. It has non-slip feet to prevent it from moving. It is a rational object: it crushes ice and does it as it should. The aesthetics are simple and functional. The defects: the size of the crushed ice is fixed. I tried to crush the already crushed ice a second time, to further reduce its size: it works a bit, but this causes jams. The manual is in English, but the machine is simple to use, just put the collection basket, pour the ice to be crushed into the funnel and press the front button. It is advisable not to attach the machine to the wall or to hanging objects, such as dish towels, while using it, because of the rear fan that must be left free during operation. Lots of quickly crushed ice, without having to do it by hand, and without the ice being excessively crushed. Basically it does what it should, seems reliable and does not have useless functions that would make it cost too much. It is shipped from Germany, this explains a lot ;)
