 i love it! Aug 13, 2008
I have only used the product a few times, but I absolutely love it. I am definitely going to buy some to give out as gifts to friends. saw them brand new on ebay for a very good price!
People just love this! Jul 13, 2008
Our household has bought 3 of these in the past year - two to give as gifts and one I received as an anniversary gift from my husband (best d*** anniversary gift I've received during my 40 years of marriage). The people who have received the Margaritaville Machines are absolutely ga-ga over them and have thanked us profusely. It easy to use and really makes fail-proof Margaritas. My only complaint: I cannot get the ice shaving blade out to examine (for nicks) and to dry. My spouse really got a nasty cut in the process of doing so. So I dry it in situ.
Buy a MM, you won't be sorry. We love ours.

Want an ADDITIONAL PITCHER & LARGER ICE CONTAINER????? Jun 24, 2008
We were entertaining and I didn't have time to whip up our usual recipe. A quick search on the net came up with what is apparently the hands down only decent ready-made mix on the market: Dr. Swami & Bone Daddy's Top Shelf Margarita Mix. After fiddling with just how much liquid to ice makes us happy, we set down to blend. WOW!!!! No doubt about it, this is one great blender. Easy to use, (EVEN after a few margaritas!)
We've now taken to using it with juices, in fact, I'm THRILLED that the teenagers are using it to brew up juice smoothies as adding all that ice cuts down on how much sugar they're consuming! We're so impressed with the unit that we're ordering another for our vacation home.
IF YOU NEED ANOTHER PITCHER OR WANT THE LARGER ICE CONTAINER: I received an upgrade from Frontgate.com. This kit gives you the larger ice container for the top ([..]) and a PLASTIC pitcher. [..] for the upgrade kit, but you still come out ahead since you'll have TWO pitchers and a backup ice container.

 It takes a little dialing in but then...great margaritas Jun 24, 2008
My sister and I got this for my dad for fathers day. This last weekend we got to try it out.
Ice comes out beautiful. Shaved ice made for perfectly slushy margaritas. I even make the kids sno cones by just hitting the shave only and topping with that syrup you can buy at the store.
Important: Do not use margarita mixes. The thing comes out watery. We use frozen limeade mix. It's relatively cheap and I think the frozen consistency helps make the drink more slushy. You can adjust the amount to your taste. We used over a half can full for a real tart margarita.
Some may have better luck with margarita mix but for us after about 4 tries and each too watery we decided to go with the limeade and it came out great every time.
I love this machine. I am jealous my dad has one and strongly hinted to everyone at the party that this would be a great gift idea for me. Hopefully I'll get one for christmas.
Is it expensive? Of course. Is it a real cool toy? Oh yes!!! It's a monster size unit, but it is so fun to use it became a focal point at the party with everybody standing around talking while we made the drinks. My dad loves it for the ease of use. I love it 'cause I can have margaritas anytime.

 Great machine, but be aware of replacement costs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jun 22, 2008
Great machine. It does what it says it will do, albeit VERY loudly. Be aware that the ice shaver blade wears out VERY quickly, and costs over $40 to replace.
